Different Shot Types
Big Close Up
Once assigned our task we set off to find a suitable place to take our snapshots. Out of all the 8 shots this picture was particularly difficult to take. Not because of the type of shot but because of how close the camera was going to be to the persons face. After much deliberating Abigail decided to be in the picture. We all got a go at taking the extreme close up and the picture we have uploaded I believe that the snapshot proves to be affective as all the features on Abigail face are shown clearly, there is no space above her head or to the side and she is the main focus in this picture.
Wide Shot
Our next task was to take a wide shot of the area that we was in. To make an effective wide shot it is best to have as much things going on as possible. Our picture succeeded in this and after taking turns with the camera we decided that the colours, shadows and events in our picture makes it successful.
Shots of our feet/Worms eye view shots
We wanted to do something different with the shots of the feet. Taking them from a worms eye view position we experimented with various different shot types. We suggested on taking a shot of our shoes in size order to make this shot as interesting as possible.
Problems with Lighting
You can quite see the problems with lighting in these two pictures. Positioning someone infront of the window has made the picture look much dimmer and harder to see the person in it. as a shadow is cast over mirror the mid range shots do not have a focus and therefore is not as effective
Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds helps you split the picture into three different parts and as a result if you cover one part of the picture out there will still be a focus in it. After seeing the example Louisa gave us we took a picture like it (the second one) and after that decided to experiment more with the rule of thirds our first picture has three people in it and they all take one third of the frame.
