This past week in class, we have been focusing on making professional videos. So to help us understand the concept of a professional video, we were to watch a video called Michaela.

This video was about an average teenage girl who has an interest in weightlifting. The video shows all different types of shots during practice with her dad and also a competition she went to. Throughout the video, however, the two main shots that appeared most were close-ups of the face and also extra-wide shots. The close-ups showed us emotions and specific details of her method of lifting which is very informational during s professional video. Wide and extra-wide shots help create the environment where the lifting is happening and also tells you who is in the scene.
If I were to change anything in from this video as if it were my own, instead of using as many close-ups and wide shots, I would've split them up between the others or at least not used as many. If I were to keep things the same, however, I definitely would've used the sequence of shots that were used during the video. Some things I can use in my own projects are to not use too many of some shots but also to make sure that I spread them out without using one after the other. I can also use the idea of the shots like the close-up of the feet/hands while she's lifting and getting her grip.
There were many good things and also many not so good things that can help me in future projects down the road. Overall, though, the video was very helpful and had a lot of information we can use during out projects.
