angles

Canted (Dutch angle):

This shot includes the camera to place at an angle towards the subject, if it is a specific shot like the ditch angle then the camera is at exactly at 45* causing a visual disruption. 

straight on: 

This camera set up has the camera placed level directly Infront of a subject with said subject in the Centre of the frame drawing the eyeline of the audience to look at the focus point. 

birds eye view:

A camera placed from directly above the scene is considered a bird's eye view angle. This can be frequently used for establishing shots or to include all of a set in one frame 

low angle:

When taking a photo with the camera pointed partly upward at a subject is called a low angles shot, mostly used to demonstrate and assert dominance or power to show the importance in a subject of interest. 

worms eye view:

This angle has the camera places on the ground looking at a strongly tilted angle upwards at a subject of the camera 


Angle 

Pros 

Cons 

Canted (Dutch angle):

This create an uneasy feeling and adds tension which can be very useful and add a lot behind a simple image. 

This style could cause a disorientation and confusion onto an audience member if they don’t know why its tilted. 

straight on: 

These photos are not confusing as they are a simple design allowing for focus to be on another detail within the frame. 

This is a very common shit type which can lead to a boring image that doesn’t catch the attention of people because there isn’t a new or interesting element to the photo. 

birds eye view:

This shot gives freedom to be used from the sky and show the entire earth or be a simple medium shot.

This also has the ability to give the impression that a subject a diminished authority. 

low angle:

Mostly used to quickly imply that a subject holds power or is authoritative. 

A low angle can distort facial features and be difficult to fix in postproduction.

worms eye view:

Instantly creating the impression that the viewer is venerable even the subject doesn’t seem intimidating.

As the image is directly upwards it is easy to have a light blinding the camera ending in an over exposure but equally can mean that subjects block lighting and not light has the change to
entre the lens.


low angle:

The next photo I took have three girls together hugging in the middle of the frame. To take this, I knelt on the ground and tilted the camera upward towards their faces. The photo makes it seem like they have an idolized friendship as they are above the viewer’s and they are in focus while the trees and location are less relevant. 


canted:

The first photo is at a 45-degree angle, where the girls head to torso lines up from corner to corner rather than down the Centre of the frame. I places the camera a reasonable distance from the girl and handheld it at the angle I wanted rathe than using a tripod for less complication.  The image is in focus on the girl’s head, but the background is blurred.


birds eyes view:
the girl in the image is laying down on the ground with her whole body visible. To take this photo I had some help with someone else on my shoulders taking the photo from directly above. The grass is not blurred but is not fully in focus as it isn’t supposed to draw attention, however the girls colouful outfit makes her stand out and she is in focus. 




straight on:
This photo is a straight on portrait of a girl including her head and shoulders. I placed the camera on a tripod and equalized it while asking her to stand exactly in Centre frame. While the foreground is clearly in focus, behind the girl is not included with immense detail as the aperture is reasonably high. 


worms eye view:

The last photo has three girls looking directly down at the cameras from above. This image required for me to lie down on the ground while the girls stood on a bench to appear further away. As the sun was setting and the girls were directly above the camera there wasn’t a lot of light that was able to enter the lens even with a low shutter speed and high exposure levels so the image is darker than most but still puts the girls in a position of power over the audience.

Triptych

Image
  This photography style includes three consecutive   images   that together create a story board of events. One photo may not make as much much sense as when it is put with the rest to finish the story.  Pros  Cons  The possibilities increases from one snap shot to three, meaning its easier to show the movement of a subject.  If the photographer isn’t careful then viewers may be confused at the actions between the images and not put together the motion so well. Viewers can admire the media pieces for longer and have more to denote.  Some may feel limited to only three images.  To show different elements to the same subject. If separated, one photo may not make sense.  These three images when placed together in the correct chronological order create a story. The first part of this story shows 2 girls in a conversation with neither of them looking too happy, the girl on the right is seemingly talking while the girl on the left seems to be...

Digitally manipulated

Image
  Not all photos come out as planned, this is where digital postproduction manipulation takes place. This process means that an editor makes changes to the images as the final product to make the image appear differently   Pros  Cons  If something goes wrong with the photo it can be fixed.  Changing one thing may effect the rest, like brightening the image may appear pixelated. Editing can make the photo prettier and more appealing to those viewing  If caught some audience members can be angry and unpleased  If the location of shooting was limited, some people may never know. The morph of reality to gaslight others may come around to make other things seem fake  This first edit is of two girls lying down on the grass this photo was taken during sunset in the middle of a field, therefore there is not much light and needed an extended shutter speed. Both girls are looking directly into the camera with the edited version showing one girl standing out...

Event photography

Image
  The use of high-quality images during an event is to capture the importance of the occasion and the business of the activities. To fulfil  a number of  requirements like remembering the  memories, or  getting natural moments in candid photos of movements.  Pros  Cons  Photographers don’t need to instruct anyone on what to do as subjects are already taking part  Not all attendants will want to be photographed. There is often multiple things happening at once making images more interesting  If in a dark room, then lighting can be an issue. If there is lots of subjects, then it can be quick and easy to continuously find things to photograph.  It is easy to miss a good moment on film and not have another chance.  This first image shows a girl looking up with party lights all around her surrounded by multiple different people, the audience can tell that this is a party from the context clues and the multitude of others around the ...
