5 Camera ANGLE types in Google Classroom

5 Camera ANGLE types

Just like last week, you will choose 5 camera angle types to present in any form that is easy for you. You can make a google doc, a google slideshow, or simply email the 5 shots to me. All examples are in this week's slideshow. If you are able to take the photos yourself, that is ideal. But if you can't, you can find existing images from the web to submit.

Due:

Shot types in Google Classroom

Shot types

If you are able to use a (phone) camera - you need to create FIVE shots from the shot types doc and submit them to me, telling me exactly which shots you're doing. For example:
Extreme Close Up (then show me the image you took), Medium Shot (then show me the pic), Wide Shot (show me the pic), etc.

If you do not have access to a camera and /or cannot upload photos to submit, you can google image these shots and put them into a doc and let me know what they are.

If emailing is easier than putting onto a Google Doc, that's ok - just mark it as done on the Google Classroom and make sure I get the email.
