Shot Size and Camera Angles

After completing the Nearpod on Camera Parts, Shot Size, and Camera Angles, use your phone to take pictures of the following. Remember to take pictures horizontally, not vertically:

• Wide/Long Shot
• Medium Shot
• Close Up
• Extreme Close Up
• High Angle
• Low Angle
• Dutch Angle
• Bird's Eye View
• Bug's Eye View
• Eye Level

To receive points for these pictures, each picture must:

• Feature a subject.
  (This subject should preferably be another person in your photo. No everyday objects like trash cans, computers, etc. should be used.)
• Use basic composition rules.
  (i.e. Rule of thirds, etc., nothing fancy required unless you want to).
• Be photographed horizontally, not vertically.

When completed, add the pictures to a slideshow and label each picture by which shot size or angle it is using.

Tip: Remember that a medium shot captures a person's waist-up, not their full body. It's a wide shot that captures their full body or more.
