Close-ups can be really close. Watch a DVD with the sound off, and you'll see how often this is used in professional films.
Experiment with the subtle differences between the different types of camera shot so that you can use them most effectively.
You can mix Moviestorm characters with footage from other applications by using "greenscreening" (also known as chroma-key): colour the floor green, and use the same colour green on a simple prop backdrop (or other props). You will now be able to use the chroma-key functions in your video editor.
Always remember - what matters is what the scene looks like through the camera lens. You may have to put actors in unnatural and unrealistic positions to make them look good in your movie – don't worry, this is normal film technique!
If you want to create a static (unmoving) camera shot, choose a Free Shot.
