We were taught to use a digital still camera and how to take different shots.
What I learnt:
- Turning the Wheel - Changes the shutter speed.
- Aperture - The eye of the camera, what lets let in. (e.g. if you were taking a picture of the moon at night, you would need to let lots of light in, aperture, but would also have to take a picture with a fast shutter speed, to avoid blurring the image)
- Rule of Thirds - An image can be divided into nine equal parts by two horizontal lines and two vertical lines. The four crosses formed by these lines are then the focal point of the screen, (where you put the most important things)
- Looking Space - Give the object/person you are photographing, space to look into, so you are intrigued to what they are looking at
We were given a task to take 6 shots on a theme outside. We had to take at least one shot shot of each of the following: Close Up (C.U.), Extreme Close Up (E.C.U.), Mid Shot (M.S.), Long Shot (L.S.), Wide Shot (W.S.), Low Angle, High Angle.
