Zone 1: Masks and disguises!
Zone 1: Masks and disguises!
Discover the wonderful weirdness of Snapchat's virtual mask collection.
- Snapchat is always adding new special effects – "Lens Filters" (masks, mostly) are a crowd favorite. Brooke (on the left) demonstrates several filters, while Amanda (on the right) gives us a one-woman master class in character-driven story telling using the lens filters to great effect.
- When the camera is pointed at someones face (usually in selfie mode), hold a finger over the face to bring up the Mask library. It make take some time for the new masks to be downloaded to your phone. Once they are on your phone, you can start trying on different masks.
- To save and share your mask, press the circle/ring once to take photo, or hold to take a video. Some masks have voice effects too. Other masks are designed for two people to share. See what you can find!
- To complete this assignment take and share some selfies with friends.
