Episode 3: Framing and composition

ASSIGNMENT

Set up “interviews” with three people. Just get them set up and snap a photo (you don’t have to interview them, unless you just want to). Do a medium/wide shot and a tight shot. You can post the images in a post on our Facebook Group page.

Here are a couple stills from a documentary I’m working on. A medium would be somewhere in the middle. There’s no set distance that makes something wide, medium, or tight, you just have to feel it out.
