Final Vedio
1. The Cost Of the Call : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0C-TNNyAVA
I like this stop-motion animation, so that the audience can clearly understand the meaning of the animation. The character in the animation does not notice the car around him when he makes a phone call, so the mobile phone becomes his grave.
2. A Sweet Suprise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIRrwT6SkrE
Mother Rabbit and Baby Rabbit decided to bake a cake together. The two of them gathered the ingredients and began to prepare, mother not knowing that Baby Bunny had different ideas about the cake. As she began to mix the ingredients together, she briefly left to look at the oven, leaving the mixing bowl there. During this brief time, Bunny playfully added her chopped chocolate to the cake batter. Belle found it when she returned, aware of her daughter's penchant for it. Undeterred, she continued to bake and decorate the cake. The resulting chocolate cake brought joy to Aria, as Belle was happy to hand the delightful creation to her daughter, knowing that she had given her something she loved.
3. Please Keep The See Plastic Free:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A6S4PX1cLw

expression, from the person waist up, letting hands and the lower half of his body fall
outside the frame.
Medium close-up shot -M.C.U
Medium close up fifilms subject character from approximately midway between waist and shoulders to above the head.
Over the shoulder shot -O.S
The over-shoulder shot shows the subject from behind the shoulder of another person.
Extreme wide shot -E.W.S
Shows a broad view of the surroundings around the character and conveys scale,
distance, and geographical location. It's used to show where character is in his/her
environment.
Medium wide shot -M.W.S
A medium wide shot shows a character usually cut off across the legs above or below the knees. It is wide enough to show the physical setting in which the action is taking place, it permit a nice balance of fifigure and surrounding.
Close-up shot - C.U
A close-up is used to isolate the most important part of the subject. For a speaker, this is generally the head, or small object.It emphasizes facial expression, details of a object.
Extreme close-up shot -E.C.U
An extreme close-up single out a portion of the face magnififies a detail. The object is to focus on important detail either to increase the drama or impact on a situation or to allow the viewer to see necessary picture information more clearly.

2. Understand O.S shot to answer question in PAGE 9.
The bottom image is not considered an over-the-shoulder (OS) shot because it does not have the lens on the foreground character's shoulder. An over-the-shoulder shot usually features a portion of the foreground character's shoulder or head and is a view that looks like it is over that character's shoulder, thus focusing on what they are seeing. However, the bottom image is a simple shot of a person sitting at a table, with no other characters or parts in the foreground to establish this perspective.

4. PAGE 15: Research on “Depth of field”, answer the questions in your blog under exercises.
Depth of Field (DoF) refers to the range of distance within a photograph that appears acceptably sharp. It indicates how much of the background and foreground area around the focal point is in focus.
Deep Depth of Field
Deep Depth of Field means more of the image is in focus, from the foreground to the background. It's often used in landscapes to ensure everything from the nearest to the farthest points are sharp.

5.Research on “180 Degree rule (Static Screen Direction)
What is the 180 Degree Rule?
The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline in film making and cinematography that helps maintain spatial consistency and orientation in a scene. To achieve this, the camera should stay on one side of an imaginary line drawn between the two characters. By keeping the camera on one side of this axis, the spatial relationship between the characters remains consistent to the viewer, avoiding potential confusion.6.Research on “Dynamic Screen Direction
Dynamic screen direction refers to changes in the perceived direction of movement within a film's scene, conveyed through the motion of subjects or the camera itself. This concept is crucial in visual storytelling, as it influences how viewers perceive the narrative's flow and the spatial orientation of the action.Lalin
Before making lalin, I numbered the pieces according to the storyboard and then spliced them together. I used the razor tool to subtract and reassemble the pieces from the prep stage
