Photographers and designers must consider how each of the following best tells the story. They then decide on a mix of photo types to include on a spread. Consider the yearbook spreads in the presentation and discuss which of the following are included in each spread and how they work together to effectively tell the story. Wide shot: shows the overall event or scene, introducing the story Medium shot: brings readers close to the action, telling more of the story Close-up/detail shot: focuses on a single, interesting subject, showing one small element that provides information on the subject matter Shots of individuals: one person Shots of small groups: two to four people Shots of large groups: five or more people Shots of extreme details: very tight focus, like a hand or part of a face Horizontal shots Vertical shots Single shot: one image is used to tell the story Series: three or more photos showing the sequence of action Collection: a group of related photos Cut-out-background (COB): refers to cutting out the background, leaving just the subject Mortise: refers to a related photo that overlaps or is inset into a larger photo
