SKATEPARK SHOOT

When taking photos focus on:
  • Getting close enough to your subject
  • Framing the shot so you have clean backgrounds
  • Be aware of the assignment criteria
  • Make sure your shots are in focus
New Photo Assignment: Skate Park shoot  In this assignment students should focus on taking shots from different angles. The skate park makes an excellent backdrop for photos, so make sure you have a focal point in all of your shots. You could shoot people, skaters/bikers in action, objects or even the skate park itself...just make sure you remember your rules of composition while shooting. Try a variety of different types of shots. Also if you take any objects out to shoot they must get returned. 
( 10 shots = 20 marks)

Criteria: 10 well composed shots focusing on angles. You may need to take up to 30 photos to get 10 really good ones. Please edit your photos!
  • top down: looking down at your subject or object
  • looking up: up from the bowl at the person's feet hanging down
  • at ground level: get on your stomach and shooting  
  • dutch angle: please do not do more than one of these. Shooting on a tilt
  • horizontal: camera is horizontal
  • vertical: camera is in a vertical position
MAKE SURE ALL SHOTS HAVE A FOCAL POINT AND WATCH FOR CLUTTER IN THE BACKGROUND
