The Director is the most important part of a movie set. I was tasked to answers 2 questions on 2 famous movie actors, Tell 3 famous movies they create, and find an example from the movies and link it with one key terms above. Here is who I chose:

The First Director I used is James Cameron. He is known to be one of the best director of today. He uses a lot of Zoom in shots and crash shots in some of his movies. 3 movies directed by him that I am using in this assignment is, "Avatar: The Way of Water", "Terminator 2: Judgement Day", and "Titanic".

1 Example from James Cameron's "Avatar: The Way of Water, One of the fasting grossing movies in history. If you watched the movie, this an example of a dolly in/push in shot. This type of shot is used to show what happened on the battlefield. It is also used to show the fire and dead avatars.

The Second Very Famous Director I picked was Tyler Perry. The 3 Movies I selected from is videography is "A Madea Family Funeral", "Tyler Perry's: Meet the Browns", and "Tyler Perry's: BOO! A lot of his movie feature static shots and tracking shots. 

The Picture below is from, "A Madea Family Funeral". It was created in 2019 and is one of his highest grossing films. This Shot is an example of a Zoom Shot and a Close-Up Shot. This type of shot is used to show the pleasure Madea feels after creating a Funeral for of her dead family members.
