emotions and relationships.

description for each shot.

• Over the shoulder shot (OTS)
Marks: 3 x 5=15

Important Instructions:

• Capture two different photographs for each shot and use different objects for each
photograph.
• You can capture photographs of any object; however, images obtained from the internet
will receive zero marks.
• Ensure that your photograph reflects a balance between the camera shot and the
lighting, creating a visually compelling and well-composed image.
• You may use any camera equipment, such as a DSLR or smartphone.
