Careful Where You Point That Thing!

Digital Literacies students will be building a repertoire of basic camera shots and angles in preparation to shoot some "B-roll" in the field. Students will review the Basic Shots and Angles worksheet.

Students will check out the free tutorials and examples of various camera shots at the Atomic Learning page here: http://www.atomiclearning.com/k12/freeshots.shtml

Students will also review the free "Rules" tutorials and examples at the Atomic Learning page here: http://www.atomiclearning.com/k12/freerules.shtml

Students will be prepared to:

• complete a Quiz on the vocabulary of angles and shots, and 
• apply their learning to an "in the field" project wherein students will create "footage" from a number of angles as illustrated in this web page 
• Students will compile their shots into a "Shots Samples Video" -using titles for each clip- and post finished video on their blogs by Tuesday midnight..
