Introduction To Cameras.

BIG CLOSE UP.

Our first task of the session was to take a big close up shot of some ones face. We chose to do this with a background of plain white, which was perfect, because that is exactly what colour the walls were. I believe this is an extremely successful shot, as we are able to see various detail in the shot, and the person in it is the main focus of attention. There is nothing to distract the viewers attention of the face. 

WIDE SHOT. 

Our next task was to take a wide shot of an area. I decided with this wide shot, as there is a lot happening. The irony of this shot is that it involves both nature and London transport (buses) - obviously the fumes let off by the vehicles are harmful to the nature, meaning we have created a very interesting wide shot, with a lot to talk about. 

FEET SHOTS. 

For this, we were asked to take a couple of shots of feet, in an interesting way. The two shown below are interesting in their own way. The top one is interesting in two ways. Firstly, the feet are in size order, with the smallest being on the left, and largest on the right. Also, we have used the 'rule of thirds' - which means the only focus in this picture is the shoes, there isn't anything to distract someone viewing the photo. 

RULE OF THIRDS.

In this shot, we included three people. This made the rule of thirds extremely easy to capitulate, as we only needed to space ourselves out on the staircase and the rule was complete. It follows the rule of thirds, because the picture is split into three sections, with one section being allocated to each particular person. 

OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT.

These two shots show two good over the shoulder shots. The above shot is at a high angle, because I was taller then the other person, and likewise, the bottom shot was at a low angle, because he was smaller then me. It adds extra affect to the shot, because it can represent a range of things. For example, the top shot could represent my domination, as it shows me being bigger, which can in-turn represent power. 

LIGHTING ISSUES.

For this shot, we took a picture of someone next to a large window. The only real lighting issues in this photo is the fact the the light is natural light. It adds a very calm affect to the photo, which gives it a innocent look.
