IC w 4 Back to the start

I have the idea that I am constant behind on the week’s lessons. Partly because my work takes a lot f the energie and partly because it is a lot of theory, partly already familiar but not all of it. I go back to week 1 to make a scheme for it; might help me to visualize.

In a way I have to think of the Time live "formula" for photographers

1 Introductory or overall - usually a wide angle or aerial shot that establishes the scene.

2 Medium - focus on one activity or one group.

3 Close Up - zeroes in on one element

4 Portrait - tight head shot or a person in his or her environmental setting.

5 Interaction - people conversing or in action.

6 Signature - all the key storytelling elements in one photo

7. Sequence - a how-to, before and after, or a series with a beginning, middle and end

8. Clincher - a closer that would end the story.
