Learning Shots and Angles

We looked at examples of Shots and Angles today in class and what they look like in photographs.  Today's blogging task will be to find a variety of shots and angles on the web, you will post them on your blog and identify them.  For 3 of the images that you upload, explain why the shot/angle works for the picture, and how the image would change if the shot/angle was different.

Choose 2 from the following:

• Extreme Close Up
• Close Up
• Medium Shot
• Long Shot
• Establishing Shot

Choose 2 from the following:

• Low Angle
• Eye Level Angle
• High Angle
• Birds Eye View
• Dutch Angle

 Choose 2 of the following:

• Rule of Thirds
• Symmetry
• Asymmetry

When uploading your image examples, it should look similar to this:

Dutch Angle 

 

This dutch angle works for this photograph because it helps to enhance the movement of the person and dogs running.  If the photograph was shot using a high angle, the person and the dogs would appear to be smaller and less significant.
