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:

PUBLISHING HOUSE

 The publishing house that I chose for my animal magazine would be DAWN. DAWN is a well known publishing house since its the oldest english language newspaper/ magazine in Pakistan. They usually have their spotlights on a variety of topics so in my opinion, they will feel no hesitation to publish my genre as well.  Another reason of the less likely chances for DAWN to reject my magazine is the number of people with dogs as pets in our country is quite high, which means that the genre of my magazine will be proven beneficial for many people since it is highly representative.

PHOTOGRAPHY RULES

  Photography rules and their information is as important as anything else in media.  We discussed a number of rules that should be considered while we take a photo, and rules that we should knowing while taking our shots. Here are some of the shots I took and the rules that they belong to : DEPTH OF FIELD: 'Depth of field' is used for objects in the background and the foreground. It focuses on the main subject. LEADING LINES: 'Leading Lines' show the effect that the viewer is being dragged towards a specific subject and draw the viewers eye to a specific direction. NOSE ROOM: 'Nose Room' is the space between the subject in a photo and the next moving or still object being looked towards. HEAD ROOM: The 'Head Room' is the space between the subjects head and the top of the frame ie the space of the room.

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.
