Step Two

Create a folder for this activity within your class folder on your Desktop. Name the folder shot_types2 or something similar. You will be saving your shots to this folder.

Plan your shots using one of our shot list templates. Here is the simplest one.

Step Three

Use the AI imaging platform of your choice to create your shots. Note that Photoshop now has a built in AI function, but you can use any platform you like. As you create each shot, download it to your project folder and rename it. Note that you can rename is as you download it or after you download it.

Step Four

Upload the entire folder you created in Step Two to your class folder on Google Drive.

Step Five

Get a shareable link for the folder you just uploaded to Google Drive and turn in that link on Google Classroom.
