(8) Camera Composition, PART 2 baby!!

Hey guys (and any girls 👀) I'm back...I forgot my phone, JUST KIDDING, ah, good times, no but seriously "I got your nose!", nah just kidding, today I am going to be talking about the latter half of camera composition and that is Depth of Field and it's 3 components, so let's begin with first of them, the-

Deep Focus Shot

The deep focus shot includes the foreground, middle-ground, and extreme-background objects, all in focus. The deep focus shot keeps both objects, or characters, close-up and far away from the camera in focus. So, you can pretty much think of this shot as a completely focused shot. It also guides the viewers’ attention to something specific in the shot and is mainly used in close-up shots, so that your shots look better and more professional as seen in the free internet picture above. Moving on the next depth of field shot after deep-focus would be the-

Shallow Focus Shot

The shallow focus shot is a technique that includes a small depth of field which focuses on one area/plane or the subject while the rest of the background is out of focus. Shallow focus is frequently used to emphasize one part of the image over another as you can see in the picture above where the owls (the subject) are in focus while the background is not at all in focus, this emphasizes the owls. The next and final shot I have for you today in regards to the depth of field side of camera composition would be the-

Focus Pull

The focus pull also known as the rack focus is a camera technique where you change the subject of focus during the shot. This technique is used to shift focus from one object/subject to another to clearly show the area of focus during the image or scene. For example in the picture above you can see the focus begins on the bow being held but then the focus shifts in the picture below it to the surrounding environment, this is a focus pull.

That marks the end of our day together, it was fun wasn't it? No? Then I banish thee! Just kidding, I'd never do that to you! Thanks for Reading!

Until next time!

(21) Is it really a good morning?... House Styles PART 2!!!

I think I'm losing it, I've looked everywhere, but I just can't find it...OH THERE YOU ARE!! Welcome...back, I wasn't looking for you, no...I was looking for my...uhm MY GLASSES!!..."where are MY glasses?" ahhh gotcha, anyways lets get back to discussing house styles, well we already discussed it, so lets look at some examples, Yes right away I think you guys can see the general theme and use of house styles in this magazine. It's pretty easy to spot. For one we can typically see an image of an individual in the cover, the magazine logo, in this case being XXL, and the use of large headings typically at the bottom left with a barcode at the bottom right. Lets go over some more analyzed and high quality examples, These are some very nicely analyzed examples and they easily searchable on the internet so credit to the google search "house style in magazine". Anyways we can see that the Vogue magazine is clearly very streamlined in it's product

(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

(20) Hey, what if we like stopped being creative?...hmm good idea, House Styles

Hey there friends...what? Your not my friend? That can be solved *gives you half eaten donut*, yeah we chill now. ANYWAYS, to all my dear readers, AHEM, yeah I mean you!! I wanted to discuss with you what is house styles with regards to magazines. I care for you all and would hate to waste your time so I'm going to make this short and sweet and divide this topic into two separate blogs, I will use one blog for to help you understand the subject of house styles in magazines and another blog to demonstrate this in terms of actual magazines so you can see house styles in how it is applied in terms of an industry setting i.e. official magazines. But before I begin let me give you a short list of useful resources to understand the concept of house styles before I simplify it to oblivion for you; https://www.thoughtco.com/house-style-editing-1690842 https://www.theeword.co.uk/blog/creating-a-house-style-for-your-content-why-how/ https://www.encyclopedia.com/humanities/encyclopedias-alm
