1. Define Juxtaposition.
Shooting a subject from an "unexpected" angle 2. In the text an example of Juxtaposition was given, looking up at an ant, what is another example? An eye-level shot of a bird is much more powerful than looking up a bird in a tree. 3. What is the visual impact on the viewer when using the Become the Subject technique? These shots allow the viewer to feel like they are experiencing the event first hand. 4. Why does shooting from a low angel makes the subject feel in control? Shooting with an upwards angle allows us to tap into this instinctive response. 5. Why does the viewer feel superior when shooting from above? It can give the viewer the impression that they are the object of the attention of the subject in the photo, as though it was the viewer placed on a stage. If the stage or "place on a pedestal" effect is achieved, the viewer will often feel adversarial towards the subject. Shooting Assignment
