WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Camera Shots & Angles in Photography
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: This assignment will teach students how photographers use different shot types to change what viewers see, where they focus, and how they interpret an image.
Students: "I will be able to identify and demonstrate different types of camera shots by using framing, distance, and perspective to create visually interesting photographs that communicate a clear message."
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice different techniques and gradually show your success!
How does the way you frame a photograph change the story it tells?
The way you frame a photograph changes the story by controlling what the viewer sees, what they focus on, and how they feel. A wide shot shows the environment and provides context, while a close-up highlights details and emotions. By changing the framing, photographers can tell different stories using the exact same subject.
TYPES OF SHOTS
Extreme Wide Shot (EWS)
Shows a large environment, with the subject appearing very small. Establishes location and scale.
Wide Shot (WS)
Shows the entire subject from head to toe, including some surroundings.
Medium Shot (MS)
Frames a person approximately from the waist up, balancing the subject and background.
Close-Up (CU)
Fills most of the frame with a face or object to emphasize details and expressions.
Extreme Close-Up (ECU)
Focuses on one tiny detail, such as an eye, hand, or texture.
Then...Change your perspective! (2 more!)
Low Angle
Looks up at the subject to make them appear larger or more powerful.
High Angle
High Angle
Looks down on the subject to make them appear smaller or more vulnerable.
