CLC - 12 Photo Challenge

25/3/2020

 

Carome Learning Community

CLC students were challenged to take 12 photos... and 12 photos only to show what we do in a school day.

First: To help us plan we used storyboards.
We planned the setting, camera angle and props needed for each photo on our storyboard, with a picture example of what the photo would look like.
Second: Using iPads we took our 12 photos.
Some groups finished early and created a movie with all of their photos, using the app iMovie. 

YYLC - FOOT CHASE

Yan Yean Learning Community

'foot chase' sequences. 

We combined music, sound effects, slow motion and various different camera angles to create fantastic foot chases!

Camera Angles - SLC & CLC

18/3/2020

 
In Simon and Carome Learning Communities, we have been learning about:
​ 'Camera Angles'
We have learned that different camera angles and shots help the viewer to understand or feel something about a scene, setting or character. ​
For example:
A Low Angle makes a character look bigger. 

This can be used to make a good guy look big and strong. Or a bad guy look big and scary.
