From researching and planning a film opening, the author learned how different camera angles, lighting, and number of actors impact a film. For the preliminary task, fewer actors and less stable shots were used. However, for the final product, more actors helped tell the story better, and using a fig rig and tripod helped keep shots steady. While some shots like side tracking and low angles were used in both versions, the camera work was improved in the final version through stabilization and capturing more of the scene.
