Angles and Shots

This is a low angle. It can be used to convey power or make the person or object in shot look larger than they normally are. It puts people in a position of dominance, whereas the high angle puts people into a position of weakness.

 

This is a medium close up. These are used to show half of the body, more importantly, the persons face. This is so we can see their facial expression and any distinguishing features they have on their face.

This is a long shot of my model. Long shots are normally used in conjunction with the idea of showing a background and will sometimes show a skyline in the top of the image. Also, the features of the person in shot tend to be hard to distinguish due to the distance.

This is a high angle. It is normally used to show that the person in frame is small or convey that they have little or no dominance. It puts people into a position of vulnerability compared to the high angle putting the person in power.

 

 

 

This is a close up. This is normally to focus purely on an object or a specific part of somebody, such as their hand or their face. it is to show us in more detail what we are looking at and makes it easier to see what message is being conveyed. this example focuses on a sign and could be an eyeline match or a point of view of what somebody is looking at.

Music Magazine ideas

Recently I have been considering what my music magazine should cover. There are alot of genres to consider: rock, metal, pop, western, rap... the list is endless. One thought that jumps to mind though is the rising popularity of technology. In day to day life we use the internet everyday for entertainment, but also music. One thing that comes to mind is the lack of attention musicians recieve just because they are just youtubers trying to make a living.

This brings me to my magazine idea. The magazine could be called E-Music and could cover what's trending on youtube, such as Psy's Gangnam style, or hit musicians such as Nicepeter or Watsky. The tagline for the magazine could be "Connected to Music" and could be a great multigenre magazine that everybody could relate to. Freebies such as merchandise the musicians make could be up for grabs, or atleast maybe an opportunity to win some. There could be a variety of posters, articles and news all different genres, but all balanced by the popularity of the online world.
                      Above is Nicepeter, creator of Epic Rap Battles of History and his own original music.

I will edit this post with more ideas in the coming days.
