Camera Angle and shot

A Establishing shot- a establishing shot is a shot that show the begin of the story and it show the shot sets up the setting or the scene. and the is a good shot to use when i am making my movie or clip.
Close up shot- is a shot with a small frame and is normal a shot that describes the the person or the objective and it show the emotion.
A medium shot- show the person or the object from head to toe and i think this is a good shot because when i am doing my movie it will show the action of my person.
long shot- is mainly use when some on or some thing is getting chased and this is a good shot but i will not be using this in my movie.
tracking shot- this shot is use when the person is moving or running and this will be used in my movie

The Sara jane adventures

The way they have written the Sara Jane adventures the have put the Establishing shot. and this show the setting of a scene, and it is a typical shot for a movie. and her is an example that i have used.  And this is from Sara Jane Adventures, A big old house with large overgrown grounds surrounded by high fencing. and the URL for this is http://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/insight/childrens_drama.shtml. and this can effect my movie and script by helping my lay out my work.

Merlin

This lesson i have look at the Merlin script, and what i have done so far is i have compared to my movie clip and i might have to make so change with my clip and me watching Merlin might help me elevate my clip. i think that if i use some of the thing like.
EXT. CAMELOT (MAIN SQUARE) - DAY 1. FR.
The square is a hive of activity. A caravan of colourful carts is being unloaded by ACROBATS, DANCERS, JUGGLERS, STRONG MEN and JESTERS.
An ACROBAT back flips off a wagon and lands on his feet. JUGGLERS practice their routine, sending batons high into the air.

And i could use thing like this to help me with my clip and if you look right at the top you can see the [EXT] that means out side so the first clip is set out side.
