Camera Angles Info PT.1



    I’m just going to jump straight into this. Hi, hello, I’m Leandra and this is my blog that shows my journey of my AICE Media Studies Project. I figured that i should’ve started earlier on this since I had a four day weekend, however, it was also a very busy weekend. I only like those when I don’t have homework and I was only able to most of my homework last minute. I also don’t like that. Maybe I need to learn time management? Nope. I got it ALL handled *big smile emoji*

     Now that we got that out the way, today’s topic is camera angles. Camera angles have a huge affect on what the viewer thinks and feels about the shot. Subconsciously, you know what they’re doing but unless you know exactly why they do it, you won’t necessarily notice it and point it out. 

     Below are some camera angles that I’m going to be talking about

   High angle: This creates a sense of inferiority. It makes the subject look vulnerable or insignificant. This enhances how at risk the subject is.
 
  Low Angle: This creates a sense of dominance. The subject seems to be threating, strong, and/or powerful. This enhances how influential the subject is.

   Canted Angle: This creates a sense of uncertainty. The subject seems to be confused or disoriented. This enhances the fear of the viewer. 

Next post will show me testing these angles out. Lets put my knowledge to the test!
Ill see you there ;)

    How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?  View this link to see the CCR:  https://sway.office.com/sbZIZfgA8fzoQilq?ref=Link       This art gallery consists of artists who are of the minority group. The feature story gives light to a gallery that supports black, Hispanic, etc. artists by holding their art and allowing prospectors to also purchase from their site. This has been a struggle for minorities such as black people to get their art out into the world. Allowing them to place these pieces into a physical art gallery that does gains plenty of attraction, gives them exposure to clientele. Every third Saturday of the month, there is a an art walk. This is where plenty of up and coming artists, even veteran ones, submit their art to be shown in it. And he does not necessarily have to be paintings, is it gonna be sculptures and jewelry also. They accept everyone and close the entire street down. Civilians and guest are in

So in the first couple of months of our class, we started learning about camera shots, camera angles, like composition for photos, feature stories, interviews, things of that nature. And it made me want to start my own magazine for the end of year course exam. Sammy CCR: That sounds amazing, but the name, what made you choose the nam

Photo Composition Info Pt.1

Image
     Hello you guys! Long time, no see. So yes, I’ve been busy learning the new techniques that photographers use to take photos. I even learned Mise-en-scene (however I’ll explain that later). Yesterday, in class, I ended up doing a practice assignment identifying certain elements such as camera shots, angles, composition, and mise-en-scene that were in a video that was shown. It was a mistreating assignment. Although I didn’t not know what kind of answer my teacher was looking for, I explained how each kind of element was used to convey meaning in the scene. Hopefully I did well. Now onto the good stuff, some kinds of photo compositions would be framing, rule of thirds, depth of field, deep focus, shallow focus, and focus pull.  Framing      This is using elements in your screen to create a gram around what you’re trying to take a picture of on your device. So essentially, there’s two frames. Rule of Thirds       This is what photographers imagine when taking a photo (or they can jus
