1) The rule of thirds - The rule of thirds is when the camera is divided into a 3x3 grid by two imaginary lines that run horizontally, and two lines that run vertically.
2) Extreme Close Up (ECU) - A shot that is zoomed in and a tight focus on a object to capture it more in depth.
3) Close Up (CU) - A shot that is close in range and it makes the object look large and often mainly focused on the object.
4) Medium Close Up (MCU) - A shot mainly is taken for the chest and above. 
5) Mid Shot (MS) - A shot from the waist up and the shot fits more than one person.
6) Full Shot (FS) - A shot that shows the person fully from bottom to top and fits multiple people.
7) Wide Shot (WS) - Shots that have a large horizontal plane of action and greater depth of field.
8) Extreme Long Shot/ Establishing Shot (ES) - A shot that starts from the beginning that shows things from far away.
9) Two-Shot (TS) - A shot that shows two people.

11) Over the Shoulder (OTS) - A shot that is shot over the shoulder of another person.
12) Eye Level - A camera angle that is placed at the person's height, so if they look at the lens, they wouldn't have to look up or down.
13) High Angle - A shot above the persons head so the camera is placed above the head and can look down at the person.
14) Low Angle - Shots that are placed below the person's sight so the camera looks up at the person.
15) Undershot - When the camera is placed directly beneath the person, and the camera once again looks up at the person.

UNIT 1: ACTIVITY 1
ACTIVITY 1: Camera Movement
ACTIVITY 2: Editing a Mood

Pitch
Mood: Sad/Chill
          For this activity, I wanted to film something that brings a sad and depressed mood. With the help of my friend Aries, I want to film in a cloudy day to make it look sad. My friend Aries will be in some scenes acting lonely and sad. I will also be filming trees, plants, buildings, and other stuff. The soundtrack I will be using for this video is called
"To build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra" because the soundtrack shows some very sad and chill tones. 

REFLECTION
                 For this finished activity, I believe I have created the concept of my pitch correctly. When I was planning the video, I wanted to film in a cloudy day. In the video, the shots were filmed in a cloudy day just like I was planning to. I also planned to film shots of trees, plants, buildings, and other stuff. I also planned to use my friend Aries to act out some scenes such as acting lonely and depressed. In the video, it shows the shots of my friend Aries, Trees, Plants, buildings, and other stuff which achieved my plan. In my opinion, I think I did pretty good in this activity because it was my first time filming outside and my first time filming with a professional camera.
