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.

- Rock Mag Survey - Survey Closed - September Overview This explains everything thsat i have posted on this blog in September
I have now closed the survey so that no-one else can answer. This allows me to analyse the results without having new data still coming in to mess up the analysis that i have completed. I am currently ,making a Prezi to show my conclusions from the surveys and the interviews i did following the surveys in the most popular age group for the genre i am going to do.
i have made a survey to collect data about the audiences of rock magazines. this information will include the age range interested in the genre, the price they will pay for a magazine and what gender they are.
feel free to take it! Cover Page- Bad BitsWhat could I have done better on the cover page? well, I do think that the cover page is a little bit over- edited so looks a little bit fake and too edited. Olivia's (the model) face is also rather shiny as it was a sunny day when the picture was taken so I could have smoothen out her skin and gotten rid of the shine. I should also have made a boarder around the edge of the pages as on this white background, you cannot really see where the magazine finishes and the website starts. overall, I think that for my preliminary task, this wasn't a bad effort and i'm sure that I will improve on the way to making the final Music magazine at the end of the year. Cover Page- Good BitsI believe that I used the right text colours and had the right sort of idea using the burn tool to emphasise the cover lines. I also like that the Model looks happy and I like the new depth of the Clarendon college logo created by said burn tool. I also like the white boarder on the cover page. Contents Page- Bad BitsI also think that my contents page is a little bit too over-edited and that how daunting the stairs are could have been emphasised in a more subtle way other than going overboard on the burn tool. I don't like how added on the top the hexagon looks. It looks as though I have literally used the shape tool and then put text over it ( which is what i did) however, I could have either smudged or blurred around it to make it look better. Contents Page- Good BitsI like that the yellow of the writing stands out against the photo background and I all like the white boarder around this page. Another thing I think I did well with the contents page wad the positioning of the camera when I was taking the picture, making the stairs look very daunting. |
