Forced Perspective Photo Shoot
Wednesday 5/27, Thursday 5/28 & Friday 5/29:
For the next few days I would like you to take pictures using the forced perspective technique you learned about on Tuesday. Follow the below schedule of topics for each day. (You can rewatch the video if you need to, or just search "forced perspective" on YouTube or Google for tons of videos and ideas.) You may need to have someone help you set up the shots and objects. Have fun! Please email me all six (6) pictures on Friday after you are done.(If you can't send all the pictures in one email, you can send multiple emails.) ** Due Friday 5/29 **
Wednesday: Take 2 photos in forced perspective of you interacting with a ball. One with the ball bigger (closer) and one with the ball smaller (farther away).
Thursday: Take 2 photos in forced perspective of you and another person. One person should be closer and the other farther, but they appear to be interacting. Then switch spots and try another scene.
Friday: Free choice day! Take 2 photos in forced perspective of you interacting with any objects. (ie. Light pole, tree, swing set, sun or moon, house, etc.)
