(2) A syllabus and class reflection

 

Hey, If you read the last blog, you know this is for a course on media so I'm going to be discussing the class and how I feel about it simply.


Positives

I am looking forward to this course on media as I find the subject to be engaging, I mean who doesn't enjoy making creative content, I love it. Another reason would be just the freedom to be creative and work with social technology. Besides that I love making entertaining and engaging content for people, it's very enjoyable seeing people laugh or smile because of an edit, video, or work I've done.

Less Positives

Although that isn't to say I expect it to be completely enjoyable or cozy. I'm a little nervous about having to be in groups with people and collaborate I don't enjoy the stress of having people potentially rely on me. The possibility of having to edit videos or images also makes me nervous, I've done it before and I know what a tedious and arduous thing it can, so I hope it isn't as complex as what I had been doing. I am also not the best at photography, my brother has told me on many occasions how horrible I am at taking pictures, I suppose I don't have an eye for picture perfect photos, just funny ones.

So Basically

Putting aside all the excitement and doubts I have for this course I would hope that this course allows me to gain profound knowledge of relevant media techniques that I will be able to remember and possibly use for myself personally. I do take a physical class as well and from that experience I can say the class is living up to my expectations thus far with none of the negatives and I'm greatly enjoying it!

(4) Wanna see something cool...camera angles

Guys & Gals !!!, I wanted to show you all something cool... I've been learning some awesome stuff lately in terms of camera angles and I just thought you'd all be interested in taking a peep. So lets start The first angle I want to demonstrate is the High Angle , a camera shot that looks down on the subject The purpose of the high angle is to make the subject look powerless and vulnerable, for example in this picture the subject is looking up at the camera as if it is a bigger entity looking down on him, this shot also makes the subject appear smaller and in effect more powerless. The second angle I have for you is the Low Angle , a camera shot that looks up at the subject The purpose of the low angle in contrast to the high angle is to make the subject appear strong and powerful, yep I sure do feel scared here, your buying that right? The third angle I've got is the Canted Angle , this is an angle that's well, angled of course, or you can say tilted, here take ...
