In this video I saw a ton of different camera shots. A lot of them were close up shots of the owner and back to somebody looking at movies or just a close up of a stack of movies. The camera didn’t stay at one place for too long. When the owner was talking it would have gotten really boring if the camera was on him the whole time he was talking. The camera left him and went around the store a lot. There were a lot of dramatic shots of the front of the store and things being sold that made the story a lot more interesting. Overall this story would have been very boring if the camera stayed in one place. It is good that the camera kept of going back to the main guy talking. I also liked how at one point a shopper was being interviewed to get a different view point.
