◦ Creative Experimental Shot

◦ Lighting recreation High Key (Select one shot from a movie and recreate the composition and the lighting)

◦ Lighting recreation Low Key (Select one shot from a movie and recreate the composition and the lighting)

• The composition of the shots must give the image context, a sense of depth and a main focal point.

• The student must be the Director of Photography and Camera Operator for this project.

• White balance must be set correctly for the lighting conditions.
