SHOT LIST for TRIPOD ASSIGNMENT

STEP 1: Watch the video, "Attaching Camera to Tripod" first. PRACTICE in class.

After you have your ID and Agenda complete and ready, go to the next step.

FIELD:

You and your partner will take a camera and tripod out to the commons area between the sophomore buildings (to the south of our classroom), and EACH of you must complete your own sequence of the following shots for an individual grade. (10 points total per person.)

Make sure you say your name and the shot type when you begin recording.

XLS

Pan Shot

Tilt Shot

Camera Superior

Camera Inferior

CU

XCU

Combo Pan/Tilt Shot

Can't remember what some of these shots are? Look in your textbook, pgs. 85-90!!!

The camera MUST be mounted to the tripod at all times!!! You'll be graded on the stability of your shots (8 pts) and proper use of the tripod (2pts).

ANNOUNCEMENTS

A couple of important policy announcements:

1. Bathroom Pass--You must sign out on the bathroom pass log sheet (on right side board) next to your name---write today's date before you get the vest to leave. I'll be turning this in every week to the office, as per Mrs. Griego's request.

2. Gum in the Classroom--If you are caught with gum in our lab, you have automatic lunch detention with me. No exceptions. This room is not your personal trash can.

You can watch this tour as many times as you need to, as you're learning parts of the tripod. As a courtesy to others, please use headphones.
Here's a helpful hint: Keep your tripod pre-test handy to take notes; it's your study guide, after all!
