Task 3:
Green (grade 1/2) Find the shutter speed settings on the camera, and take it in turns with who is behind the camera, experimenting with slow and fast shutter speeds. Have people move at different speeds and take photos as they do. Aim to have one clear photo that shows frozen action and one that shows motion in your image. Amber (grade 3/4)
As with the green task, but take charge of the composition of your photo when you are behind the camera. Consider compositional guidelines in your work and how you want the overall photos you take to look - what do you want the background to be? How are you going to control the light in your image? Are you filling the frame or taking a wide shot? Aim to have two clear photos that show frozen action and two that show motion in your image. Red (grades 5+)
As with the amber task but try to be as creative as possible with your images to produce an interesting set of 6 photographs. Aim to have variations between motion and frozen action in your images. |
