ALL ABOUT SHOTS AND ANGLES

Once again, in this blog I will be highlighting something really interesting ie photography shots and angles that we studied. This is the main part of media as a subject. These are the types of advanced camera shots that are used in filming to convey an effect or emotion. We were given an assignment to take some of our own shots from a wide array of angles.


                              EXTREME LONG SHOT: 

















This is an extreme long shot that covers a wide area of landscape and surroundings and this shot is taken from a distance. 


                                             FULL SHOT:


This shot shows the subject fully from head to toe ie top to bottom. A full shot mainly includes the subject and nothing else. 

LONG SHOT:


This is an example of a long shot. In this specific shot the subject is shown along with their surroundings. It shows the whole environment as well as the subject themselves.

MEDIUM SHOT: 





A medium shot or mid-shot is a camera angle shot from a medium distance and is up the waist.  This permits some of the background to be seen in accordance to the subject.


MEDIUM LONG SHOT: 



This shot is also known as the 3 quarter shot and the medium long shot. This specific shot shows the whole subject but above the knees.


2 shot:


A 2 shot shows 2 people in the frame and could be mid shot, full shot, or mid long shot.


OVER THE SHOULDER:


This is a kind of a camera shot where the camera in placed above the back of the shoulder and head of a subject and shows the facial expression of the main subject usually. More commonly used when 2 people are indulged in a conversation. 

POINT OF VIEW:


This view shows the point of an actor. You can usually see the actors feet or hands in the picture so that you know straightaway what kind of a shot that is. It is sometimes used in films to show someones eyesight as blurry, if they are becoming uncurious. 


EXTREME CLOSE UP:


An extreme closeup shows the details in a shot and majorly someones facial expressions in a shot.


MACRO SHOT:


A macro shot is an extreme closeup shot usually of very small subjects and objects and shows them in a lot of detail. 


HIGH ANGLE SHOT:


High angle shot shows the subject from a high level above the eye level.


OBLIQUE SHOT:


An oblique shot is taken by tilting the camera and not putting in a straight focused position and is majorly used to confuse the viewers. 


EYE LEVEL SHOT:

SELECTING MY GENRE

 Researching on genre, it was now time for us to choose my own genre for the magazine I will be producing. I found out a number of different genre magazines not only on the internet but also at my own home. This gave me the idea for either producing a tech magazine, a corporate magazine or an animal magazine. Out of these I had to shortlist but then decided the corporate/business genre for my preliminary task and to opt for an animal magazine for my main task since I could best use my skills in this as I was an animal lover and owner both. Not only this but you would find me reading about animals at all times, wanting to have a keen knowledge about them at all times. Hence it was my passion that I was about to base my magazine genre on now.  Therefore my magazine would be on animal care 🐾  It will not be for all the animals and would just shine the light on dogs (since I'm a dog owner myself). It would be about dogs and their care and if someone has a dog as a pet they w...

DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY

As far as the distribution of my magazine is concerned, it will be made available in majorly all urban areas that are highly populated. These would be Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Multan in particular since statistics and research states that mostly dog owners are found in these urban areas.   I will be selling my magazine's copies at a fair price in the number of 1000. These will be available at big shops and stalls where mostly the upper class, upper middle class, and the middle class people will have their reach.
