Check out this short, and take note of the camera movement and the various views – from wide establishing scene-setter, to medium, to tight detail shot.

If you want to make a movie, this is an excellent model to deconstruct. If you list the components of this video profile on Jim Carrey’s process and motivation to paint, you will crack the code to start your own project. Don’t forget to find a subject with an interesting story to tell and one that is visually interesting. And don’t forget that well-edited sound recording with proper mic placement and gain levels are also critical for success!
