- Using Camera   Shots Series #3 - I knew we were going to 'meet' each other one more time!!! You already know the drill, get comfy, relax, and enjoy! This is the last part (for now) of this Camera Shots Series. So let the beginning of the end start with... The  Over-the-Shoulder Shot " shows your subject from behind the shoulder of another character. Because it emulates perspective, it’s common in conversation scenes." With this shot, the ambient created during the dialogues is enhanced since you may only see the perspective of one of the parties but would not really know how the other party is taking the information/discussion given by seeing the facial expressions (if they can show them) because of the location over the shoulder of the shot.  In this, over-the-shoulder shot, the dog's back is the one to supply such an angle so that the audience can only see the other party. With this, tense, funny, unorthodox situations, feelings, and reactions can be conveyed

  – Using Camera Shots Series #2 – And so, we continue with this series of blogs regarding " Camera Shots" . For today's content, we are going to start with the Close-Up Camera Shot so get comfy and relax.  The   Close-up  shot  "is perfect for important moments. The close-up shot size is near enough to register tiny emotions, but not so close that we lose visibility." with this frame ranges, it is mostly used to focus on characters' facial expressions as it enhances the sentiment of empathy the audience might feel towards the presented characters. And with this, a higher impact is achieved for the audience to remember.  In this close-up picture, we can appreciate how the depiction of facial expressions is very detailed so that the audience can grasp the same feelings and emotions that the character is going through.  A  Medium - shot  "can often be used as a buffer shot for dialogue scenes that have an important moment later that will be shown in a clo

– Using Camera Shots Series #1 – Hi everyone, this is your fellow blogger once again, and today we are going to talk about camera shots. Camera shots are very important in filming and photography itself. That being said, let's see some examples of the different shots there are.  And so, we are going to start with the Establishing Shot, this shot is in charge to showcase the setting in which a scene, is going to take place as it relates to the setting with the characters implying the idea that the action (s) to come is going to happen in the showcased shot. Here is an example of it.  Side Note - The Master shot is identical to this shot, the only variation is that it may include the characters themselves as part of it or not. The main focus of this shot is to represent the most memorable scene of the film. Because of that reason, I have decided to have this picture as an example of a master shot too.  In this picture, the showcased setting turns into the setting as the establishing

Using Composition - Part 2 Hi everybody!!! It's me, again, I am glad to have you around one more time. Today, we are going to continue exploring some rules of composition with their meanings, and a quick review of their relevance within the picture. We have already covered Framing and Rule of Thirds s o let's continue with this picture I took quite a while ago as an example of... D epth of field- deep and shallow.   Depth of field - shallow Depth of field - deep The  depth of field-deep and shallow  implies the idea of how much blurriness is presented in a picture's subject(s). This blurriness, when is in the closer object, is shallow, and when it is in the background subject(s) is deep. This composition is used to achieve higher attention on the object with no blur on it .  This may also result to have the opposite reaction since some audience focuses more on attempting to figure out what the blurred subjects are.  The meaning of this image (s) could be said to be that, th

Using Composition Hi everybody!!! I am glad to have you around one more time. Today, we are going to explore some rules of composition with their meanings, and a quick review of their relevance within the picture. So let's begin with this picture I took quite a while ago. In the following picture, we have a great example showcasing the usage of the  Rule of Thirds.  T he R ule   of T hirds   "is a type of composition in which an image is divided evenly into  thirds , both horizontally and vertically, and the subject of the image is placed at the intersection of those dividing lines, or along one of the lines itself." ( Rule of Thirds Definition - What is Rule of Thirds by SLR Lounge )  This is done so that the image's subjects could be 'seamlessly' placed at a natural position for the human eye.  In this image, a feeling of nostalgia, solitude, and future hardships can be perceived but it is the contrasting colors of the yellow flower that give meaning to the

 – Using Camera Angles –   Hello, my fellow readers!!! today, we are going to get a hint of the world of photography. That being said, let's explore the basics of it such as; Camera Angles.  Let us start with the High Angle shots where  " the camera points down at your subject. It usually creates a feeling of inferiority, or “looking down” on your subject." but this may differ depending on how creative the photographer may be used in some occasion for achieving other purposed such as aesthetic.  As said before, the shown picture is inspired with the sole purpose to showcase aesthetic upon the subject. Now, the Low Angle shot. These types of shots frame  "the subject from a low camera height looking up at them. These camera shots most often emphasize power dynamics between characters.". In other words, they are used in order to convey the power level between the presented characters in during a complete film, section, or scene of it.  In this shot, the low angle

Hi everybody, I hope you all are having a great day. As the title implies, today I am going to dive into the way I would like to arrange the content of my magazine. Its colors. Its amount of writing. Given information, and of course, its variety of content depending on the topic selected (or not) for every timeframe it is published. As stated, it will be "My Magazine, My Content" and with this, I don't mean to be completely new on everything I make since it is just impossible to do for any human being. What I mean by it, is that my magazine will have all the discussed traits on my previous post "My House Style = My Magazine" arranged, based and made by me or contributors (meaning donated pictures) but, it will be highly inspired by the setup that "Outdoor Photographer" magazine has.  The photography magazine that I envision has to be a splash of feelings, messages, entertainment, or all of them together when it is opened. I want it to convey something

Hi everybody, for today's blog, I will discuss one of my previous ideas about the ideology of House Styles and Magazines. This time will be more focused since it is now about which house style could benefit my magazine the most. I hope you enjoy it. First of all, my magazine. What is my magazine going to be about? For that, I have not fully decided it yet, but the idea of at least starting to develop a photography magazine like Aperture, Outdoor Photographer, or Shutter, really excites me. So, for now, I will pretend as if doing a photography magazine is set in stone for me.   And with that same stone, I will build my house style starting from its base. It will have to obviously be based on an adventurous or joyful genre, able to entertain and catch the eyes of the neighbors. It will have to have a wide variety of topics going from portraits, landscapes, minimalistic, abstract, angle views, panoramic, etc. In the end, it will have anything that a photography lover would enjoy to se
