Year 10 English
USC Year 10 English students got their cameras out to put their studies on camera angles and techniques into practise. Students were provided a short synopsis of a story close to every student’s heart: getting homework in on time! They planned out their shots on a story board, working with different angles, and then went out into the field to put together their interpretation on this classic tale. Students were directors, photographers, and actors, choosing angles, guiding actors, and seeking out the perfect shot.
