Shot types/ Camera angles

Shot types and camera angles that i could use to create my magazine:

  • wide shot - this is where the subject takes up the full frame in this shot, it allows the audience to see a full length image of for example a person
  • mid shot - this shot type allows the audience to see the person in more detail, whilst still showing enough for the audience to feel as if they were looking at the whole subject
  • close up - this is when a certain feature or part of the subject takes up most of the frame, for example the face, this close up image shows more details, it emphasizes their emotional state
  • Low angle shot - shows the dominance of the model, below eyeline
  • High angel shot - above the eyeline, this is used to show a different perspective
  • Over the shoulder - this shows an shot where one person is in view and only the back on the other person head is shown. this is a conventional shot to use for a montage as it shows normality, a casual shot taken
  • Two shot - this is a shot where two people are in the frame, this is a good shot to use as it shows the relationship between the two people, a "surprise" picture could have been taken and used in the magazine between two celebrities therefore making the reader want to know what is the link between them two.

these shot types can be used in my magazine as i think they will be appropriate
