Bird's Eye View

This shows a scene from directly overhead, a very unnatural and strange angle. Familiar objects viewed from this angle might seem totally unrecognized at first. This shot, however, put the audience in a godlike position, looking down on the action. People can be made to look insignificant, ant-like, part of wider scheme of things.

Hand-held Shot
A shot made with the camera held in hand, not on a tripod or other stabilizing fixture.

Extreme Close Up
It is too close to show very dramatic scenes of reactions or emotion.


Long Shot
A shot taken with the camera at a distance from its subject.


Close-Up
A shot in which a face or object fills the frame. Close-ups might be achieved by setting the camera close to the subject or by using a long focal-length lens.

Scene Transition
The moving from one scene to another. The scene 1 fade out while the scene 2 fade in.

"DON'T LOOK BACK"

As you travel through life,

there are always those times
when decisions just have to be made,
when the choices are hard,

and solutions seem scarce,
and the rain seems to soak your parade.

There are some situations where all you can do
is simply let go and move on,
Gather your courage and choose a direction
that carries you toward a new dawn.

So, pack up your troubles and take a step forward -
The process of change can be tough,
but think about all the excitement ahead
if you can be stalwart enough!

There might be adventures you never imagined,
Just waiting around the next bend,
And wishes and dreams just about to come true -
In ways you can't yet comprehend!

Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new things
as you challenge your status quo,
and learn there are so many options in life,
and so many ways you can grow!

Perhaps you'll go to places you never expected,
and see things that you've never seen,
or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds
and wonderful spots in between!

Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring
and somebody special who's there
to help you stay centered and listen with interest
to stories and feelings you share.

Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends
are supportive of all that you do,
and believe that whatever decisions you make,
they’ll be the right choices for you.

So keep putting one foot in front of the other,
and taking your life day by day...
There's a brighter tomorrow that's just down the road -
Don't look back! You're not going that way!
