Snap Snap & Shoot

Photo Taking

    • You will need to take at least 130 quick consecutive photos with good natural light either inside or outside to meet the time requirement but do not take more than 230.
    • 130 = ~30 seconds
    • 220 = ~45 seconds
    • When you take your photos you must have each of the shots (medium, wide, closeup) and angles (low, eye, high, aerial, dutch) while keeping good photo composition (you learned these concepts last quarter).
    • Take all your photos in landscape, not portrait size.
    • Draw the title "Stand Up" of your stop motion or create it in another creative way and take 5-10 photos using stop motion techniques for the title (example 1 & example 2).
    • Take four fun and expressionate selfy photos of yourself in good lighting that you will use in the credits of your video at the end.

Place all of your photos into your CA Dropbox and take one screenshot of the image thumbnails inside the folder (like the example below so you can see at least 20 photos) and post the screenshot to WP.

Stop motion can be very useful; here is a college entrance video my past student made to get into USC since they were required to submit a video about themselves.

Do not do at this time:

Cinemagraph

Take a 5-8 second video clip that you will use for your cinemagraph. The camera needs to be on a tripod or resting on a table or ground. Make sure you do not forget to still use good photography composition. Record the video in the highest resolution that your video camera support. Remember, you can often get the best results if there are things/people moving in the video aside from the focal point movement but make sure the other movements do not move across the video behind your main focal point movement.

Upload your video clip to YT and the link to the same Posterous post.
