Generally speaking, telling stories in video is more complicated than telling them in words. When
you write a story, you can give the readers a lot of background information about the characters and the
location. When people watch a video, they can get some of this information from dialogue, but much of
it comes from the types of shots that you choose to include. Different types of shots can give very
different messages. For example, a character can appear powerful or weak, depending on the type of
shot you use. Similarly, one type of shot might make a situation seem dangerous. There are several
other types of shots including reverse angle, point-of-view, and reaction shot, etc. A reverse angle is a
shot taken from the opposite angle of the previous shot. A point-of-view shot is taken from a character’s
point of view. A reaction shot is a close-up view of the character reacting to what she or he has just seen,
felt, or heard.
