(5) Check this out! More camera angles, yes!

I knew you'd want some more 😉
and I've got you covered!!

Today I wanted to demonstrate to you some more camera angles and shots!!
The first camera angle is the establishing shot
This shot is used to establish the location and environment of a scene and can also set the mood while giving the audience visual clues of the day, time, and general situation. For example in the establishing shot you can tell it's within a school.

Another angle similar to the establishing shot is the master shot
This shot is meant to focus not as much on the location, but more on all the subjects in the scene, smaller shots can be interwoven into the master shot.

Moving on, I have the close-up up shot
This shot is taken very close to the subject and has the subject fill most of the frame, the purpose is to emphasize the subject or a small feature of theirs. For example in the photo it appears like he's thinking and you can deduce this by his facial expressions. Any closer and this would've been an extreme close-up.

But, stepping away from our subject I present to you our next angle, the mid-shot
This shot focuses on the upper half of a single subject or subjects to show part of them in more detail while also presenting some environment

These shots are great and all, but lets talk about some more interesting ones!

Stepping far back and above, we have the Bird's Eye View shot!
(I'm chilling so hard...) This shot is made to show the audience a wider view and is taken directly overhead the subject to show the subject's movements, and even outside boundaries from the subject's awareness.

Another cool shot is the Point-of-view shot
This shot is intended to mimic what a subject or character in a scene is seeing, this allows them to put themselves in the character's head and experience their emotional state. Or in this case you can really feel my...hmm, well you can see what I'm looking at, interpret that as you will.

Here is one of my last shots I have for you, the Two-shot
This shot is meant to have two subjects in the frame and is typically used to show romance, tension, and action. In this example you can really see the actions between me and the subject, (as I seem to have my hair over my eyes '-' hmm)

My final shot for you beautiful people is the Over-the-shoulder shot
This popular shot is when the subject is shot behind the shoulder of another, this can be to show actions or emphasize connections during interactions between two characters.

Well my friends, there you have it, I hope you've learned something interesting about shots and angles.


Thanks for reading!

(49) Your a star baby!! Model 2 Photoshoot

  WE CHILLING!? HUH, just kidding, welcome back guys, I think it's time for another banger of a photoshoot, this time it will be of our second model whom we will refer to as Demarcus. Let's not waste any more time, check out these pictures we did- Our photo shoots were done over a couple of days and he sent me a good bit of photos too to help save time, obviously this is about Men's Fashion so getting good photos takes a little longer, but it was clearly worth it, also on a side note I've decided we will be interviewing Tyrone for our actual feature story, so look forward to that! I hope you enjoyed our second model's photoshoot. Until next time, thanks for reading!

(64) It's a long story...Creative Critical Reflection #2

  --Dawn of the first day-- Hey guys welcome back to another blog, today we are going to be answering another question for my creative critical reflection. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? My magazine product targets men of course as it's a men's fashion magazine and it's made for men of all ages and backgrounds. I've made the magazine eye catching with flashy colors and intriguing cover lines. I've done this because it appeals to viewers easier and makes it easier to retain their attention while conveying my points across. The color scheme is mostly red and blue and I chose this specifically since red is a more energetic color and it calls for more attention and blue makes a good contrast to that which helps add emphasis in that design context. Since this is a magazine for all ages I did make use of some informalities and jokes such as calling the magazine the "Drip Edition" and adding cover...

(47) Don't hate me because I'm- The Models

Hey guys welcome back, I've got some models lined up, about 2, I asked some friends and they provided me some quality pictures they thought would be a good fit, so let's see them, also I'll be giving them some pseudonyms Here is our first model, we'll refer to him as Tyrone, he is pretty well-built and I think he'd fit in great with our magazine, since we're doing Men's Fashion, we'll ask him for some more photos later. I can confidently say he'll be in the cover page and the double-page spread! Now let's look at our second model- Ok, let me think of a funny pseudonym, alright we'll call him Demarcus, if your wondering where I got these names from, well it was from a list of the most beloved African American names. Anyways Demarcus is our second model, I think we could get better photos of him, this is just one he sent me. As for him I've decided to put he should probably go in the table of contents. Alright I hope you guys enjoyed this i...
