Students could then study images they create through taking still photographs in which they experiment with different types of shots, angles, use of color, and editing (using editing software). Studying stills before moving on to video encourages students to focus on aspects of composition within the frame. By using digital cameras, they can view their images on the computer or project them for the entire class. Students could then identify their specific uses of certain techniques to convey certain intended meaning. For example, they may note that in taking a picture of two objects on either side of the frame — a tree and their dog, that they used the “rule of thirds” — they divided the frame by thirds and placed the tree and the dog in the outer thirds, leaving the middle third empty. |
