How do you add variety into a sequence of footage?

For most of our preliminary task, we have a fixed shot on Sophie singing. To give our film a better variety of camera shots, we could have showed Lizzie's and Roshnee's reactions to Sophie's brilliant singing. Instead of using a fixed shot... We could have used a shot reverse shot, to show the audiences reactions. During the rest of the film, we could have used different angles and movements such as: high and low angle shots or panning.
