Shot Types

Try to get a few clips of each shot type

Focal Point

Move in a circular path, at a diagonal, or straight ahead while keeping the focal point centered.

Some good focal points are: house peaks, doors, interesting windows, or corners.

If shooting landscape you can use the light itself or the thing it's illuminating as a subject.
