Part of Lesson Plan: Camera Shots & Angles

Activity Overview / Details

Choose two students in class who would be comfortable doing a short demo in front of the class.

Student 1 should be comfortable with a camera. (maybe a 2nd year student if you have one)

Student 2 should be comfortable being in front of the camera and will be the talent.

Plug the camera into your lcd or TV so students can see live footage of the shots.

Have student 1 frame and shoot a close up of student 2 while student 2 tries to show a look of excitement just through facial expression. Next have student 2 try to show a look of fear while student 1 gets a extreme close up his/her face and eyes. 

Discuss whether this technique worked; and why or why  not with the class.
