EXPOSURE TRIANGLE
Creating a Prezi to demonstrate your understanding.
Use the following rubric to guide your creation of your Prezi.
___/50pts x2 =___/100pts (final grade PROJECT GRADE)

1. ___/_5_ OVERVIEW. Effectively describes Exposure Triangle. Includes

images/diagrams of camera with appropriate labels.
2. ___/_10_ ISO Effectively describes ISO, defines what it stands for, what it does and
how to change it. Includes images of how it is measured. Includes images of lighting
situations appropriate for BOTH high ISO and low ISO.
3. ___/_10 APERTURE Effectively describes and defines aperture. What it looks like
(pictures), what it does, how it is measured. Defines Depth-of-Field and gives examples of
both shallow and great depths-of-field. Includes images of how it is measured. Includes
images and descriptions of how to change the aperture in both Manual Mode and Aperture
Priority Mode.
4. ___/_10_ SHUTTER SPEED Effectively describes and defines shutter speed. What it
looks like, what it does and how it is measured. Includes images of how it is measured,
images for BOTH fast and slow shutter speeds. Includes images for how to change the
shutter speed in both Manual Mode and Shutter Priority Mode.
5. ___/_5 ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT.

Effectively describes when it is

appropriate/necessary to use a tripod for various settings AND WHY.

6. ___/_10_ CREATIVITY, GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION.
correct spelling and punctuation.

Creatively presented with
