I was introduced to Shot sizes and Camera Angles in camerawork. Shot sizes  is how much of the setting or subject is displayed within a frame of a video, photo, or animation, looking at the scope or size of the shot. Camera angles set the exact location at which the movie camera is placed to take a shot. I was introduced to camera angles and shot sizes through the following videos:https://browardschools.instructuremedia.com/embed/27e75942-7ab3-4396-9d1d-84e2c2db29ec,https://browardschools.instructuremedia.com/embed/5a46043c-7d44-4fbe-87f2-470809f5468a. I completed a story board organizer. I documented nine shot sizes and camera angles and their definition and an illustration of them. I found the meaning of the extreme closeup the most interesting because it shows emotion of a scene  and it isolates  a certain subject. I would describe the concepts as informational, curious, and exciting. The jobs that  are associated with camerawork in the film industry are actors, directors, animators, video editors, camera operators and etc.
