This document provides instructions for two photography and video challenges. The photography challenge lists 9 different photographic techniques for students to try, including straight lines, leading lines, self portraits, and forced perspective. The video challenge instructs students to create a short video under 2 minutes with a simple story, storyboarded shots, and footage that incorporates at least 4 shots/angles from the examples. It provides resources for free music and sound effects and tips for successful video shooting.

USE AT LEAST TWO PHOTO SHOTS IN YOUR VIDEO

21. YOUR TASK: CREATE A SHORT VIDEO
1. Invent a simple story that you want to tell: maximum running time
should be no more than 2 minutes (excluding credits).
2. Storyboard your shots.
3. Film the footage! *You must include at least 4 of the shots/angles/movements from the video.
4. Edit your video.
5. Add music/voice over and credits.

22. BE CAREFUL!
1. Shooting in sunlight causes very strong shadows...
2. DO NOT SHOOT IN PORTRAIT!
3. Use only one device.
4. Think about sound: wind will make this difficult. Also, hands on
microphones are VERY annoying!
