Camera Shots & Angles


  • Extreme Long Shot- Shot that shows entire object or human figure.
  • Long Shot- includes an amount of picture within the frame which roughly corresponds to the audience's view of area.

  • Full Shot-type of long shot which includes human body in full, with the head near the top of the frame and feet near the bottom
.
  • Mid Shot- shot of a figure generally includes the body from the knees or waist up


  • Close up- detailed view of a person or object, without much context provided.
  • Extreme close up- shot of a actor's eyes or mouth


  • Birds eye- shot in which camera photographs from over head

  • High angle- shot in which the subject is photographed from above.


  • Low angle- Shot where subject is photographed from below


  • Eye level- camera is 5 to 6 fro the ground corresponding to the hight of a observer.

3 Favorite Shots-
-Low angle: it's almost like you can capture the whole atmosphere and beauty of the area
-close up: I think close ups on eyes are really cool because every eye is different
-Mid shot: You can get enough with this shot to probably get the idea of something.

Tape and Curl




 For this assignment, I did 2 tutorials for Tape and Curl effects. On the Tape tutorial, I made a small rectangle and added color and textures to it. Then, I took the eraser tool and carefully smooth and made the tape more transparent. Also, I took different brushes and made the sides look more jagged. Then, I placed them where I wanted on my photo and added a drop shadow to the tape and picture. Next, on the curl tutorial, I took another photo of myself and grabbed the rectangle marquee tool to make a selection. Then, I used the gradient tool with black and white and filled in the selection with that. Next, I deselected the rectangle and used the warp tool. There, I carefully grabbed the bottom left corner and moved it towards the center but not too much since I can't show any part of the original photo in the curl area. Finally, I added a drop shadow to the picture.
