 Today in class we had to choose a prop to use to take pictures using the different types of shots. i really enjoyed this, i did have a problem with the camera but that was fixed!!! The prop i chose was a wooden owl and decided to shoot this on a tree outside the classroom. Here are the pictures.......

This is the long/wide shot. Although it is hard to see the owl is in the middle of the tree.

This is a close up shot as it only involves the face and shoulder of the owl.

This is an example of a high angle shot as the camera is looking down on the owl.

This is an example of a low angle shot as the camera is looking up at the owl

This is an example of an ants perspective shot, which is when the camera is placed on the ground to take the shot.

This is an example of warm lighting in a shot.

This is an example of an over the shoulder shot as the picture is taken from behind the monkeys head and over the shoulder you can see the bird.

This is an example of an medium shot as it only shows the upper half of the subject.
