The 'camera shot' describes what you can see in an image or illustration (close up, mid-shot, long shot). Illustrators can choose the camera shot to create meaning for the reader.

You will need:
a soft object to throw. For example, soft ball, pair of socks, soft toy, scrunched-up paper.
an object to create a target. For example, bucket, basket, a long piece of string laid in a circle, a t-shirt, a wall, a tree.
your workbook
a pencil.
Examples of what your activity might look like
To set up your space
Create a target that you can safely throw a soft object towards. If possible, create two larger rings around the centre target to create a ‘Bullseye’. See the table below for examples and scoring suggestions.
Select 1 soft object that is safe to throw.
Choose a ‘starting point’ where you will throw the object from.
Predict
In your workbook, predict:
Which throwing style do you think will score most points?
(Throwing styles are underarm, overarm and your own chosen style).
Get throwing!
Throw the object and attempt to hit the target as close to the centre as possible. Closer to the centre of the target scores more points.
Have 5 attempts using each throwing style (underarm, overarm and your own style).
Challenge: Adjust the position of the ‘starting point’ each time
Record
In your workbook, record:
The points you score for each throw.
Example of how you could record your throws
Reflection
In your workbook, record:
What type of throw was successful? Why?
What type of throw was unsuccessful? Why?
For each type of throw, what did you do with your body so your throw was accurate?
How do you think you could change your throwing style so it is more accurate?
Recently you have used the overarm throw, do you think any of the throwing styles you used were more effective than the overarm throw technique? Why?
