Cohort #2, Session 3: Framing and Composition

ASSIGNMENT

Set up “interviews” with three people. Of course, do what you can - one person is better than none. It also doesn’t have to be an official person you would normally interview for work. It can be a family member or friend, just get them set up and snap a photo (you don’t even 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.
