Intro to stills camera

In our lesson regarding stills camera we learnt about the basic types of shots (extreme wide shot, wide shot, mid-shot, close up, cut-away, cut in, two shot, over the shoulder shot). We also learnt about angles for example high angles which make the object look more powerful and low angles which make the object look weaker. We also studied how light will effect the image.
Another thing we learnt about was the rule of the thirds which involves putting imaginary lines over the image-two horizontally and two vertically-which create nine equal squares, putting the most important objects on the lines makes the image more interesting as the object is off centre. You can also line up the eyes of the object with the top line which prevents the object to be surrounded by empty space.
