Practicing Shot Types


This is a medium close up shot.I took this image to experiment with how the model would look central,but i dont think it worked very well.This is because theres to much white space around the model and this draws away the attenton form her face.Also the lighting is poor in the corners which stands out and creates an un-sucsessful image.



This is a medium close up shot from a high angle.I really like the angle of this image,i think if the model was abit closer to the cameraa this type of shot could really work it allows the model to translate emotion to the reader because of how close up she is.I also like the lighting on this image i think it illuminates the side of the face and shows definition.Id really consider this type of shot for my magazine.


This is a medium shot.The lighting here i think is really good,its bright enough to create definition without bleaching the model out.I also like the eye contact from the model to the camera,i think it wrks really well and draws you to it.On the other hand,to improve this image id change the pose,although the pose creates effect i think the hand it to close to the face,and actually draws attention away from it. magazine. 



This is a two shot,i took this image to experiment with how an image would look when two models are featured.This is one of the best images i took out of 10 i think,this is because both models have direct eye contact with the camera therefore drawing you in.I think the lighting compliments both models and overall creates an image that could be really successful for a magazine.




This is a group shot.I really likke the way group shots look,however,i think this one looks quite messy.I think the framing is slightly off too,also the fact some of the models are smiling and some are not looks confusing and you cant grasp what the image is portraying.If i were to use a group image id make sure all the models dress code complimented each other;all models were posing the same/had complimenary poses;and maybe put them in height order.




This is an example of  a medium close again.I like this image but the model isn't really translating much emotion.The pose is quite ambiguous and could be miss-interpreted.Also the full frontal positioning of the model looks quite bulky and not really flattering,time time id maybe turn the model o a side so it would look better.



This is a medium two shot.Firstly the lighting is terrible,when taking the image i didn't realise how dark the light was making the image so i would definitely make sure i wouldn't make this mistake on the final photos i take.Also the models themselves look quite distant as if they're not together,which translates quite badly.Also only one model is posing so again looks quite confusing.



This is an example of a long shot.I wouldn't use one of these personally on a front cover as i think its hard to make a long shot look good,but i was experimenting fro say the DPS.How ever this image turned out bad.The floor is really distracting with all the wires and takes away most of the attention from the image.Also the image its self is really blurry and framed wrong.This image was really unsuccessful.


This is a medium close up shot.I like the framing of this image,although theres a little space around the image when id add my masthead and cover lines i think it would work well.I also like the pose of the model,its a simple pose and the main features is here eyes,as the direct eye contact draws you to look at her.The lighting is slightly off and i think the model would look better if she was bent further towards to camera but with a few tweaks this type of shot could work really well.



This is a two shot again.I decided to use these two model for the two shot to again see what it would look like if i swapped a model.Here i think this two shot works well because the lighting again is flattering,and both of the models eye contact works well together.To improve id frame the shot better and make the models closer to the camera to create more of an impact.
