In today’s lesson we were given a list of camera angles and pictures to go with them, but they were jumbled up. Our job was to decide as a group which camera angle would go with each picture. The whole point of the exercise was so that we could distinguish each camera angle because for the coursework we will be required to take our own pictures to put on the front cover and the contents of our magazine. On the front cover we also have to have a medium close-up of a student. Then In groups of 3-4 people we were given a task list of different camera angles and subjects to take pictures of. Some of the camera angles were things like ‘an extreme close-up of the time’ and ‘a picture that has connotations of friendship’. Today we spent the lesson planning who was going to take the picture, what the picture was going to be of, and what the camera angle would look like.
