Finals!


Final Camera Shoot

Finals!









Camera Control - As we finish the trimester, let's set the camera controls manually with the dials to create the effects we want. You will take a total of (at least) 20 pictures that will have five different settings:


4 pictures that show Frozen Motion - Setting:TV with a shutter speed of 1000+

4 pictures that show Blurred Motion - Setting:TV with a shutter speed of 60 or less

4 pictures that show Panning - Setting:TV with a shutter speed of 60 or less, must move with subject.

4 pictures that show Great Depth of Field - Setting:AV with an F-stop of 22+

4 pictures that show Shallow Depth of Field - Setting:AV with an F-stop of 5.6 or less

You will be editing these 20 images for a "Best of" presentation.

This is your final and worth 30% of your grade. Show me what you can do, both with the camera, and in the lab. Good Luck!
