Assignment
Birds VS Worms
Bird’s Eye (above)/Worm’s Eye (below) Point of View With the camera, we translate the living, moving, three-dimensional world into small, flat, two dimensional photographs. Every picture, from the portrait on a driver’s license to a war photograph in a newspaper, describes a particular point of view. Some points of view are more interesting than others. The acts of deciding where to stand, what to frame, and when to press the shutter button on your camera define the point of view that will be described in the picture. We see the world from about 3 feet to 6 feet off the ground. Most images we make and see are made within that normal range of human vision. In this project you are going to make pictures from extreme points of view— ways of seeing that fall outside our normal ways of looking at the world
Bird’s eye view:
Photograph at least 6 subjects
Photograph each subject at least 3 times changing position each time
·-Look down on your subject.
- Stay in close and look at it from above.
- Think about your composition: use angles and leading lines to lead the viewers’ eye through the picture frame.
- Lighting, is there enough lighting to illuminate your subject? Where do your lights and darks fall in the picture frame?
- EXPLORE YOUR SUBJECT
- TAKE A LOT of PHOTOS
Worm’s eye view:
Photograph at least 6 subjects
Photograph each subject at least 3 times changing position each time
- Get down on the ground, stay in close to the subject matter
- Look up at your subject · Think about your composition, notice how large objects look that used to look so small (ex:feet)
- Consider your lighting – is the sky too light? Consider your background, should you move to change it? · How does your point of view affect your composition? Are angles more pronounced? How could you use the angles to move the viewers’ eye through the photograph?
- EXPLORE YOUR SUBJECT
- TAKE A LOT of PHOTOS
