I feel like these videos were made in 1997 as instructions on how to teach film making at community college

Why does everyone keep using the word "talent"? (I actually know why). Call them what they are, models or actors. Geez.. I know using "talent" is a way to steer away from gender bias ('-or' vs '-ress') ; but "talent" itself is a bit of a masculine word, so nothing is accomplished by using it. Also the fact it does not take any "talent" to stand still in front of a camera.

Mastering how to shoot textbook, (as these fixes show), is a pre-requisite for effectively breaking the rules of textbook shooting. However, it's just as important to know why, and what a composition is for.

i dont see these as wrong, i think film making does not have a specific way.. its how ever you think your movie should look and if it goes with the story..

@LooneyM3 Some directors do purposely use these techniques for effect, but for most of us these are things that you'll generally want to avoid unless there's some compelling narrative reason not to. It's really a matter of knowing the rules before you can know when to break them.

Other than the first one, these aren't necessarily wrong. In fact some of these are great assets for visual story telling. Like a high angle shot of somebody can make them look small and insignificant. I'm just saying, these are not mistakes (other than the lighting one). More stylistic choices.

@guitarman9526 True, these techniques can sometimes be used purposely for effect. But it's a matter of knowing when to use them rather than using them indiscriminately as some beginning videographers do.
