This week I saw the movie Valkyire. Until Matt had made the comment about not panning and zooming, and we had seen the video on basic camera moves and techniques, I never noticed how few camera moves were used while taping a movie. For the most part it's simply wide, medium, and close still shots.
Through doing the in-camera edit exercise, I realize that different angles make the sequence more powerful.

great observations. taking something from films that you are looking at and relating to your own work is the best way to grow as an artist. good to see that the exercises are helpful in doing that. they can be boring at times, but if you use them as a tool for greater understanding of how to use the medium and stretch your creativity, they are much more useful.
