preliminary task 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In preliminary task 1 we went out to take photos on phrases with different camera angles we went around the school to get photos of the theme’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

we went out to take phots and used some camera angles i learned that different angles show different meanings showing that with lower angles making things bigger and bold while smaller lower angles are to make things seem weak and fragile. i feel that the way the camera is used can show hidden meanings while being simplistic shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

preliminary task 2 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In preliminary task in class we were given a prompt about last chance to leave a house we then had to make a presentation with out mood board and story boards then we presented to the class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
