Your objective will be to photograph 100 images capturing motion and shallow depth of field creatively. You will need to use 50 images to photograph either stopping or showing motion and a short, and 50 images showing shallow DOF

Motion - is controlled by the adjusting of the shutter speeds. A slow shutter speed (lower than 60) will show motion USE A TRIPOD IF YOU ARE SHOOTING BELOW 60, while a fast shutter speed (faster than 60) will stop motion. 

Depth of field - is controlled by the adjusting of the aperture or f-stop, the focal length of your lens, and the distance you are from your subject. A large aperture (f-2 thru f-5.6) will have a shallow DOF, while a small aperture (f-16 thru f-32) will have a large DOF.
