and compare it to the Shot Outline and the type of video shot in each scene (Bold) that follows the link. Notice what makes each shot unique. (Print the following if it makes it easier -- which it should)

Create your own shots!

1. The basic shots of the above are made up of stills, pans and zooms. These are then broken up into different shots as well. Create the following chart and complete it with the effect each has for the viewer. Describe this in your blog.


 * || Stills || Pans || Zooms ||
 * Close ups ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Low Angle ||  ||   ||   ||
 * High Angle ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Lighting changes ||  ||   ||   ||

2. Tell a story about LCS. Use a school camera and create any 5 of the shots from above. Be sure to record at least 10-15 seconds of footage so you can edit it as you like afterwards. You can choose any story, fictional or non-fictional, but it must be school appropriate.

3. To tell the story, you must include a narration from Audacity, telling your story for each shot, while labelling your shots with a title.
