Shots and angles

Extreme long shot
                                           This is an extreme long shot.


An extreme long shot is taken from fire away. It is mostly used for establishing shots (however this is not useful for my music magazine), as it is either of an outside of a building or a panoramic view. This however could be used as one of the pictures in the magazines article to show a favourite place or some other view. This pictures obviously therefore lacks detail as it was to far way.

This shot includes the whole of the object which is focused and still quite a lot of the back ground. In this example the car is the object and the scenery is the background. lets as notice detail however also lets us see it in a bit of detail unlike a extreme long shot up.

Medium shot



The medium shot contains a figure from the knees/waist up, Any more than three figures and the shot tends to become a long shot. Background detail is minimal. This may be good for a music magazine as it lets us see detail and background as well.

Close up shot



A close up shot shows very little background and focuses mainly on the face. It is used to get detail into a photo. This may be used in my magazine but only as a smaller photo not as the main picture.

Extreme long shot




The extreme close up focuses on one part of either a body or an object. It is so you can look at a specific bit in lots of detail. This will probably to close for my magazine as it therefore won't let us see the style of the person.
