Class assignment, Camera shots and angles.

After researching into the shots and angles, it was time to take some pictures accordingly.

Since the Covid-19 is on it's peak right now, I could not go out to take pictures of humans or inanimate objects so i decided to photograph a sort of decoration piece i found at my house.

I read my own blog and kept taking pictures, while taking pictures, i set the frame according to the title. Here are the images.

Shots :

This is the picture that i took for the Extreme long shot. The things to note in this picture are, a wider camera angle has been used to capture this image, There is a clear subject but it is not the only thing in the image, a lot of the background as well as the surface can be seen. This is normally used to establish that a subject is in a certain place (E.g. Restaurant).

This picture is taken under the heading of a long shot. As compared to the extreme long shot, this shot has considerably less background and not completely but this focuses more on the subject. This might be used to show two people walking in frame / two people in a restaurant eating.

This is a full shot of the subject, this shows the subject only, possibly a bokeh background and little to no surface / things

around it.

Normally used to show one certain person, for a magazine cover, book cover or just a portrait image, this framing is used a lot in photography around the world.

This shot is known as a mid shot. It shows half of the subject, it can also show two people in frame as a two shot and can represent a dialogue.

This is a close up of the subject, little to no room in the frame, to the pint image, usually used to show something the actor might be holding (Cell phone) or maybe a murder weapon ...?

This is an extreme close up shot, this is used to show a very small part of the frame. In photography, this is used to show some intricate detail about the subject.

Angles :

There are certain angles while taking pictures or video of a subject. Here are some with demonstration.

This is an attempt at a birds eye view, although this is not even close to how wide the field of view in a birds eye view is, this clearly represents the idea. This shot is usually taken from the sky (as a bird would perceive the image). used to establish a scene or show something very big in the frame.

This is a high level angle shot. In this the camera is above the subject looking down at it. This is normally used to establish a sense of superiority over the subject in the audience's minds'. (to show the subject as inferior to the audience.)

This is a low level angle shot. In this the camera is below the subject looking up at it. This is normally used to establish a sense of inferiority over the subject in the audience's minds'. (to show the subject as superior to the audience.)

Eye level angle, another one hard to represent without an actual person, This shot is the most common where the camera is placed the level of a characters' eyes. This is a close representation because the camera is placed near where the eyes would be (If that makes sense).

Last one, Dutch angle. The camera is tilted and the shot is taken at an angle. This is mostly used to demonstrate confusion in a scene. Although for photography, it is just a convention that most photographers like to go against due to the complicated aesthetic.
