Learning Target I can analyze a complex set of ideas or sequence of events and explain how specific individuals, ideas, or events interact and develop over the course of the text.
Photographers use their cameras as tools of exploration, passports to inner sanctums, instruments for change. Robert Draper, National Geographic Photographer.
Identifying three essential types of camera shots: learning to see.
Assignment: begin by carefully reading the definition behind the three basic types of shots: close up, medium or establishing or long shot.
Look carefully at the exemplars. Make sure you are famiiar with these terms.
Then:
Open a google doc
The images that follow come from Time Magazine's best photos of 2020.
For each of the 15 images that follow the exemplars:
1) identify the type of shot AND
2) In a complete sentence,write out the reasoning behind the type of shot. For example, what was the photographer's objective? Consider your literary elements of setting, character, theme, plot or even figurative language devices, such as symbolism, types of imagery, irony or metaphor. Make these pithy, insightful sentences.
DUE BY MIDNIGHT FRIDAY..thank you!
*******************************************************************************************
Close ups: A close-up or closeup is a type of shot, which tightly frames a person or an object.
Close up tip:
Go to any spot of nature, such as a garden, an empty lot or a park, and arbitrarily pick a small area (20x20 feet is good). Then spend an hour there finding close-ups.
Medium Shot: The medium shot is a general, all-purpose shot. It allows the viewer to pick up on movements and gestures. Body language is important to conveying emotion, and the medium shot remains close enough to capture that emotion. The subject is in the middle distance, permitting some of the background to be seen.
Establishing or long shot: a shot to orient the viewer and establish a sense of place. They are way to establish mood and viewpoints.
YOUR TURN:
THE FOLLOWING 15 PHOTOS ARE FROM TIME MAGAZINE'S BEST IMAGES FROM 2020.
No one looking through these images a few years hence will have to ask, when they come to the tableau of a body and people in hazmat on a China street, when that photo was taken. Or what summer two groups of men — one in police uniforms — grabbed the limbs of a young Black protester, surrounded by people in masks. The exception migh t be the hellscapes created by bushfires, especially the sad, singed animals of Australia. Unless, that is, 2020 is remembered, on top of everything else, as the year the slow burn of climate change officially tipped into conflagration.
What colors the year did produce tended toward the garish hues of America’s political polarization, especially so in images from campaign rallies. But not always.

Five luxury cruise ships are seen while being broken down for scrap metal at the Aliaga ship recycling port in Izmir, Turkey, on Oct. 2. As the global pandemic slowed the multi-billion dollar cruise industry, and with public confidence in cruise vacations down after a series of outbreaks, some operators have been forced to cut losses and retire ships earlier than planned. The crisis, however, has bolstered the year's intake of ships at this port. Chris McGrath

At Juneteenth cele 14.
At Juneteenth celebrations in Tulsa's Greenwood district, the site of one of American history’s worst-ever episodes of racial violence, Deshon and Omarion wear T-shirts depicting their grandmother Leslie Randle—who was alive during the 1921 massacre, when hundreds of Black-owned homes and businesses in the area were burned and more than 300 Black people were killed. "She told us that the bodies were taken away and stacked on a hill up by [Oklahoma State University]," says Deshon. "Every time we heard the stories it made us upset. But she made us listen."

The body of a patient, wrapped in yellow infectious waste plastic bags and plastic wrappers, lie on the patient's deathbed awaiting a body bag in an Indonesian hospital. The wrapping of the patient, which takes two nurses approximately an hour to complete, was intended to suppress the spread of coronavirus.
