Camera Shots Info PT.1


     Hi! That is honestly all I have to say. I'm really trying to finish this today *laughing emoji*.

     Side note if you noticed that I posted four posts in a day... please ignore that. Like I said before, I had an extremely busy weekend. 

     Nonetheless, there are many different kinds of camera shots that could be used to take a photo. The ones that I'm being tested on are establishing shot, master shot, close-up, mid-shot, long shot, wide shot, two-shot, aerial shot, point-of-view shot, and variations of those.

Establishing shot

    This is normally a wide shot , extremely long shot, or aerial shot that shows the setting of the scene.


Aerial shot

     This shot is shown from birds eye view. This gives the viewer a deeper understanding of what's happening on the ground. 


Master shot:

    Most important shot of any given scene. This shot keeps all the characters in the frame. It can be long or mid shot. This is meant to introduce something in the shot. 


Mid-shot

    A mid shot is also called a waist shot. This shot shows the subjects waist up.  This is used to emphasis the actor but also show the background.


Long shot

    This is similar to wide shot. It captures the subject from head to toe. This defines the subject and their  relation to the setting


Wide shot

    This shot shows the subject in the environment they're in. Its meant to show whos in the scene, where its taking place, and when it starts.


Two-shot 

    This shot is of two subjects in the same frame. This is used to show how the characters emotions interact with eachother.


Point-of-view shot

    This shot shows the viewer from an angle as if they were seeing what the subject sees.


Close-up

    This shot is taken close to the subjects face. This empathizes the subjects reactions, making it more noticeable. 


    There is also over the shoulder shot, but I currently don't have an example for it

    I'm going to say that the point of view shot might be my favorite and I'm for sure going to use it when I take pictures for my magazine. I may not have figured out an idea, but seeing what the subject is seeing is an amazing view. Now you will see me putting these to the test.

History of a Magazine

Image
      Another aspect that gives away how a magazine is formatted/designed would be its history. History plays a big part into what the magazine will be about.      For example, Ebony magazine was created by a black man, John H. Johnson to be in honor of black, African Americans. It was the first magazine during its time to showcase black people on its pages. This was historical.  https://www.britannica.com/topic/Ebony-American-magazine https://aaregistry.org/story/ebony-magazine-goes-on-sale/     Another example of a magazines history would be vogue. It was founded by Arthur Baldwin Turnure. It was made to be a weekly journal for high class people. It covered topics such as traditions of the high class, etiquette, media, and social scene. This made a huge impact on American fashion and lifestyle.  https://www.britannica.com/topic/Vogue-American-magazine https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vogue.com/article/vogue-125-1892-2017-compare-and-co...

Reflection on Syllabus

Image
      Hello, I’m back again! I want to explain how I feel about this course so you and I can understand my mindset better.        I’m honestly very confused on a couple of the aspects, which makes me very nervous. As seen in the photo below, this is a great representation of how my mind is as of right now. Aspects such as the format of the posts are confusing me. I’m aware we need a task and an intro, however, that seems to be the bare minimum so I’m going to search if there’s more things to add to each one.       Picking my idea for my magazine also makes me anxious. I don’t think it’s hard to pick an idea but following through is what’s iffy. I want to do an idea that I’m passionate about so I put my best foot forward and my product comes out to be something I’m extremely proud of. I don’t want the idea to fall apart in the middle and I have to start over. At the end of the day, I will still chose to but I’d rather not.   ...
