CAMS: Medium shots and dutch angles are mostly used in documentaries. CLAMPS:  Lighting is set at an angle so it falls on actors face at an angle to create an intense mood. Setting can be anywhere depending on the time and place of the story. Props can be anything, mainly to add symbolism to the story.

     Hi! My name is Naturelle Dixon, I’m 15 years old, and I’m a 10th grader. Math is my favorite subject in school because I’m really good with numbers and problem solving.

The film explores themes of determinism, the potential consequences of time travel, and the importance of human connection. One of the key takeaways from the film is the idea that our actions, no matter how small, can have far-reaching consequences. The film also suggests that the future's not set in stone and that it can be changed through the choices we make in the present. Additionally, 12 Monkeys highlights the value of human relationships and the power of love to overcome even the most dire of circumstances. What good information did you gather while watching it? While watching the video I recognized clamps such as zoom ins to a medium close up when the woman is being shown in 12 monkeys. And how the shots of the people were taken closed up to c...
