Suspecting China Quietly Supported Sri Lankan Communists

7:15 p.m.

I saw, the Chinese have helped bad communists in Sri Lanka in the past.

Though, China pretends, they aren't involved in conflicts overseas--seems they are.

They just do it very quietly, it seems like.

You can't really know who to trust.

I don't really know these Chinese and Russians as well as we know these Americans.

The screenshot captures a moment from a YouTube video titled "Ultimate Guide to Camera Lenses – Every Type of Camera Lens Explained [Shot List Ep. 7]" by StudioBinder. The image displays a scene from the film "The Graduate (1967)," highlighted as an example of using a telephoto lens. The scene shows a person walking along a sidewalk beside a vintage car, with a street and some vegetation in the background. The composition uses a telephoto lens effect, compressing the distance between objects and creating a cinematic look. The colors are natural, with earthy tones in the grass and trees, contrasting with the urban setting. This video seems to explore different types of camera lenses, explaining their effects and uses in filmmaking, as indicated by the tags related to film theory and video essays.

Choosing a Telephoto Lens Over Zoom for Running Shots

1:30 a.m.

Scratch that, I want to use telephoto lense a few times. I think it'll look good.

For example, if I was running, it's cooler than a zoom camera movement.
