Using Composition

Today, I took pictures demonstrating each composition term from the syllabus.

1) Framing

Framing draws attention to the subject.

2) Rule of thirds

This composition is useful because it falls perfectly into the eyes of the audience.

3) Depth of field

This composition focuses on one subject while blurring out the background.

4) Deep focus

This composition focuses its attention on the whole plant.

5) Shallow focus

The flower is being focused on rather than the plant as a whole to capture its beauty.

6) Focus pulls

The focus is being pulled away from the environment and focusing its attention on the dog.

Comments

Magazines require certain conventions that they all need to follow. I will mention and explain them below. •Nameplate/masthead- The font that makes the magazine recognizable. It is specifically designed to attract an audience. •Taglines- Taglines are used to show what the magazine is about. •Coverlines- Coverlines mention the topics included. •Central image- The central Image draws an audience before they can even read the magazine. •Cover model- Cover models are usually celebrities that have a strong connection to the magazine's genre. •Color scheme- The color scheme is used to target a demographic. •Barcodes- Barcodes are used to Identify your magazine.

Using Camera Angles

Today, I took photos using the three camera angles from the syllabus. These consist of a high angle, low angle, and canted angle. 1) High angle This high angle conveys the idea that the subject has less power than I do. 2) Low angle This low angle conveys the idea that the subject is powerful or holds more power than I do. 3) Canted angle This canted angle suggests that the subject is disoriented.
