The Photo Montage

So today for our Arts and Acts of Reasoning Class(what a mouth-ful), we learnt about the different kind of camera shots and angles. We also shot some of our own, which was both fun and engaging.

These are some photos I decided to show. Not all are school-taken.

Oh yea, a montage means a combination of several photographs joined together for artistic effect or to show more of the subject than can be shown in a single photograph. And we've(Jim and I) need to do one. Not sure where the following pics will lead us to though. Along the way I'l explain the shots.

So,the above is a Medium Shot. The medium shot is from just below the waist to above the head. There is more headroom than in the bust shot. This show is used if the person is animated with their hand movements, etc.

The Extra Long Shot. Also known as the Establish shot, this gives the viewer some perspective as to where the subject is. This is very important if the subject is moving to new locations or times. It lets the viewer know where the video/pic is taking place.

This is a Medium Long Shot. Remember in this shot to not cut ther person off at the knees. With this shot, you can still see expression on the persons face, while getting more information from what is going on around the person.

This is a Long Shot. This shot is useful for someone that is walking or moving.

Well, I might do more on this with better photos and more cam shots. More info at http://www.saskschools.ca/curr_content/cpt/projects/welcomeassignment/typesshots/typesshots.html
