Using Camera Shots

Hey guys I'm back with another blog that's actually long overdue lol (laugh out loud). School has really been stressing me out and I'm trying my hardest to stay up to date with everything so bare with me. Anyways in today's blog I'm going to be explaining to you all six different camera shots which are:

• Long shot- shows the subject from top to bottom or head to toe if its a person, without necessarily having to fill up the whole frame. This shot is made to set the scene and the characters place in it.
• Wide-shot- A shot with a greater horizon plane of action, showing the greater depths of field.
• Two shot- A shot in which two subjects appear in the frame. This shot is often used to show tension, romance, or action in a scene.
• Mid shot- shows part of the subject in more detail. For a person, medium shots usually frames them from waist up. It's commonly used in films as it captures and focuses heavily on the character while still showing the environment.
• Establishing shot- This shot is used to show the location and environment of a scene. It's also used to establish mood and give the audience visual clues regarding the time of the situation.
• Close up- A shot in which the subject fills up most of the screen or appears really large in detail. This shot is usually taken up at a close range. 

Using Camera Angles

      Hey guys! I've been a little behind on my assignments but I've been trying to catch up. This weekend all I wanted to do was sleep but I had to get these pictures in. So last weeks exercise was to take pictures and capture the different angle shots, high, low, and canted. In this blog I will be showing you guys each photo I captured with the different angles. 

• High Angle Shots are cinematic techniques where the camera looks down on the subject from a high angle.  
• Low Angle Shots are shots on a camera that are positioned low on the vertical axis anywhere below the eye line looking up.
• Canted Shots are tilted shots that involve setting the camera on its roll axis so the shot is composed vertical shots on the line is angled to the side.

          

High Angle Shot

I took this picture of my friend in class and used her as subject. She has very nice and helped be my muse for this exercise. I positioned the camera at a high angle

 while looking down at her.

Low Angle Shot

In this picture I was actually on the boardwalk at the beach and I just thought the setting was so nice, so I decided to photograph it. I took this picture by lowering the the camera on the ground and faced it upwards to try to make the building stand out and seem taller. For me I like low angled shots more because they capture the whole scene and make the subject appear more extravagant.

Canted Angle Shot 

In this shot I was at a football game and I was sitting on the bleachers. I was having a really good time with my friends and took lots of pictures and this was one of them. I tilted my phone at a certain angle to take the picture to make it look slanted and give the picture a dramatic affect.

These pictures were honestly very fun to capture and I enjoyed taking them. I had good time out this weekend and I'm glad I decided to sap these pictures to show these different angle shots. :) 

A Bit About Me

Reflection on Syllabus

In this course I will be looking forward to learning how to set up a blog. I can be a very good and detailed writer so I would love to experience actual king make a blog for people to read.

I’m also very excited to see how it is to create a magazine at the end of the course.

Media Studies Vs. Me :)

General Blog Introduction

Hi my name is Netshaell and this is my first blog post. I'm currently in AICE Media Studies and for my end of year project I'm working in a group of 3 and I chose to create a magazine cover. Which is why I'm creating this blog to show the process leading up to my final product. I will be posting often to update you guys on what I'm doing and the steps for everything.

• The skills that I have that I'm sure will benefit me in creating this blog is that I can be a very good writer and I can communicate well with others. 
• I'm also very detailed and informative so I can type out my process descriptively for others to have a good understanding.
• I hope to learn more information and knowledge about media studies and really master how to do my blog.
• I'd also like to learn how to create a magazine cover and learn new skills on this topic.
