I did these just to refresh my Photoshop skills and to make sure that I could use a different programme if Photoshop didn't work one time. The programme I used was actually Paint.net which is similar to Photoshop but free and with fewer tools avaliable. This made the project much more challenging but I think that overall, I did a good job with both me replacing Kathy Bates in Misery and my friend Emily replacing Bex Taylor-Klaus in Scream (the TV series). what I did was download the original poster from the internet and then took a picture of myself/ Emily in the same position and with the same facial expressions as the character we were replacing. I then erased all of the bits that I didn't need and put it on a new layer on top of the original image and edited around the picture so that it looked a bit like the original picture. I then messed around with the brightness and contrast of the picture to try and match the original. Once I had done all of this, it was finished and ready to go! With Emily's, I erased the parts of her face that were over the letters and the hole to show the mask.

Low Angle
A low angle shot is where the camera is below the subject's eye-line but not quite on the floor. It is often used to show how this person is superior in some way or to show how menacing they are. Eye-Level An eye-level shot is when the camera is level with the eyes of the character. This is often used when characters are staring straight into the camera and using direct address or when the director wants to capture the reaction of the character well. High Angle A high angle shot is where the camera is pointing down at the subject but is not directly above the subject. It is often used to show hope or the sense of being watched or looked down upon... perhaps being judged by God? Worm's Eye A Worm's eye shot is where the camera is on the floor almost directly below the character, looking up at it. this is usually used to show how big the subject is and how menacing it is. Canted Angle A canted angle (also known as a Dutch angle) is when the camera is slightly tilted to one side and is often used to give the audience the sense that something isn't right in the shot. Bird's eye A birds eye is when the camera is directly above the character an gives the same sort of feeling as a high angle shot. It also means that the audience can see more of the scene from a different perspective. The Youtube video underneath describes some of these angles as well as the shots from my last post as well as some of the camera movements that I also know. It gives you an example of each!

Extreme Wide/ Long Shot
This is where the whole of the scenery can be seen within the shot. The actors will look very small from here. These shots are usually used as establishing shots that introduce a certain place or character. Wide/ Long Shot This is where the whole body of the actor or actors can be seen, as well as some of the scenery. This is often used during conversations between two characters when over the shoulder shots would not be suitable and in tracking shots. Medium/ Mid Shot This is where the waist, upwards of the character can be seen within the shot and is one of the most common shots used in film and TV as it captures the emotions of the character whilst also catching paralinguistic features in a conversation. Medium Close-up This is where the shoulders and head can be seen within the shot and captures facial features well when they are particularly important. Close-up This is where the head and face of the character is in the shot and shows the facial features being made by the character even more clearly! It is often used when a certain reaction to an event is significant. Extreme Close-Up This is where one specific feature of the face or a particular object within a scene is highlighted by filling the shot. an example of this is in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho when Marion is lay on the floor after being murdered. There is an extreme close-up of her eye. Examples of some of these shots are in the Youtube video below:
Please go and take a look at my power point of my contents page of two different magazines analysis on Slideshare:
This task is basically about me experimenting with text fonts and designs to use for my final music magazine. I used Photoshop in order to create it and made many different forms of the writing. when I first opened Photoshop, I selected the text tool and switched to the typography part of the sidebar. with this, I adjusted the text to how iI liked it and then I experimented with the paintbrush tool, selecting different patterns and trying them out. In the end, I decided that I liked the leaf pattern best. I think that this went with the indie theme I was trying to create. The writing looked sophisticated and not wild and the leaves symbolised the streets that they grew up in the urban life. I think that this link works well! I think that I prefer the bottom one as the colours of the leaves are like autumn colours and the style of the writing is sophisticated yet somewhat rebellious and 'grey' which replicates the genre in my opinion. I will put this out to the people on my social media pages also and then decide how to make my final masthead for m music magazine.
