Photography 101; Tuesday, Third Period [09/26].
"Okay!" Prompto, grinning, clapped his hands together at the start of class, pushing himself up from where he was leaning on the desk and looked everyone over. "You guys probably know how this is going to go from here on in. Last week, we worked on lighting, which of course means you should have some pictures to show off from the week that takes lighting into consideration, so we're going to do that before we go ahead and dive into our next big basic photography topic, which shall be revealed in due time. But first!" He gave his finger a dramatic swing in the air. "Photos!"
And once those were out of the way, it was time to get into the real work.
"Good work, guys," Prompto complimented, whether that was actually true or not, but come on, he still got indistinguishable blurry shots of the ground on his rolls every once in a while, he was in no place to judge! "So, then, we've tackled Rule of Thirds and we've tackled lightning, and so today, we're going to talk about types of camera shots, especially the eight most common types. But, In general, you've got three basic ones: close-up, medium, and long, and within those, you've also got your extreme close-up and extreme long shots, POV shots, so on and so forth. Those are generally going to refer to the distance at which the picture is being taken. And then you've got your angle to consider, and with that, we're going to go over five basic ones: high angle, low angle, over the shoulder, bird's eye, and the Dutch angle or tilt. For the most part, the names are pretty self-explanatory, but let's get into some examples and the details so you can really start getting an idea of what makes them different from each other."
And if there's one thing Prompto will always have plenty of, it's photographic examples! And he's put together basically a slide-show of pictures to show off the various different types of shots mentioned, and you know he's going to take the time to break down how the examples fit the type of shot, things to consider when taking a shot like that, and, on occasion, also referring back to previous lectures by pointing out when a picture is a good examples of Rule of Thirds and interesting lighting use as well.
