Camera Shots

Today we worked in pairs to take some different camera shots. This will help me to take good photographs for my music magazine.

Close-up shots show a full face and neck.
Big close-up shots show the face.
Extreme close-up shots zoom in on the face, so not all of it is shown within the frame (eyes and nose).
Long shots show a full body.
Medium long shot is the head, down to the knees.
Very long shot shows a person from far away.
A medium close-up shows the head and shoulders.
Some shots are taken from a high angle, so it looks down on the subject.
Low angle shots are taken from below, they make the person seem powerful.
Two shots include 2 people within the frame.
Tilted frame- the camera is tilted to the side.
Over the shoulder shot is taken from behind a person, so you can see the back of their head and the object or person in front of them.

This is a close-up of somebody in nature.

 This is a big close-up of a person using a mobile phone.

Here is a photo of a very long shot, to show somebody conveying isolation.

Over-the-shoulder shot of somebody writing.










Two shot in medium long shot.

I took this photo to convey stress, therefore I chose to make my partner bite her nails. I have focused on the mouth and fingers. She looks anxious. This is an extreme close-up shot.

Low angle medium close-up shot.

High angle long shot.

Extreme close-up of the time.

Here is a picture of friendship.

The brief for this photograph was to take a picture to convey friendship, without using people in it. This forced me to be creative. I took a picture of a drawing of friends, with other photos of groups of friends in the background.
