 Review of a few camera angles from the movie   The Hunger Games" (2012) From the producer Gary Ross I choose the movie, "The Hunger Games" because I am a big fan of the book series. I really liked the dystopian world affect the author collins added to the book, which we don't really see in many books/movies today.

We have quite a few squirrels in are neighborhood that we feed nuts ,and this was one of the squirrels coming for its daily lunch. The video was very easy to film since the squirrels trusts me enough to get close enough.  This is an establishing shot of my neighborhood street. I filmed this shot in te afternoon as well and it was a hard shot to film. This was hard to film because of the mosquitoes, I found it really hard to hold the camera in place and wave the mosquitos away.  I filmed this high angle shot while riding my bike. I found it really hard to film this shot since i had to ride my bike with one hand and hod the camera steady in another. I actually fell a couple seconds after stopping the video.  This is a tilt shot of my lamp. In the video the lamps top and bottom is shown.  ...
