Make/Create
Record A Video
1. Go into your camera app on your phone.
2. Make sure that your App is on automatic settings (it should be already)
3. Point the camera at your subject you want to record. Hit the video record button on your phone (This icon will either be a video camera or you may have to switch to a video setting like on an Apple device).
4. Try taking another video, this time moving the camera during the shot with a steady motion to add some motion if you are filming a stationary object.
(See Take A Photo to see about the rule of thirds)
5. Try taking a video again but this time with your main source of light either behind you (most light) or to either side of the subject you are shooting. This will light your subject differently.
6. Congratulations! you have filmed three videos!
Reflect/Evaluate
What could I have done differently to obtain a different mood of photo?
