Click on the link to information from media college. It shows a range of different types of camera angles you might use and when you might use them.

Task:

In groups of 3 take photos of the different shots/camera angles you have learnt about.

Create a presentation of your shots with a title for each of the type of shot it is, and a brief explanation about it, (i.e. when you might use it)

When you have created your presentation go to the Creative Commons website and licence your work.

http://creativecommons.org/choose/

I recommend that you use the most generous one which is Attribution. This means you let others copy, distribute, and display your presentation, and even modify it, only so long as they attribute it to you.

If you don't want people making money off your work then you might also like to use the non-commercial licence.

If you click Share Alike then if people modify your presentation to use they have to have the same Creative Commons licence for their work that you had for yours.
