Photos for AS Media

This is an extreme high angled long shot. A high angled is typically used to make the subject look vulnerable or powerless. This shot also uses the rule of thirds technique, as three of us have been positioned in such a way that the audiences eyes shift from the right, to the left then to the middle. To improve this I would have moved the person at the bottom of the stairs slightly more to the left. 

This is a medium close up of three different people. A shot like this is usually used to imply a friendship between the people. Also is this shot contrast has been used to make the people stand out more. For instance the girl's blue hair contrasts with the pink and red painting behind us, making her stand out more.

This is a low angled long shot. A low angled shot is used to make the subject/s seem powerful and dominant. I do not think that this picture is well constructed personally, as the people in it appear blurred and unfocused.

This shot is a mid shot, showing the person from waist to head. We also used this image as an example of contrast, the black hair and gray jumper contrast with the image of the pink brain and red background behind her. However the image has obviously been taken incorrectly as it was meant to be portrait.

This shot is an example of contrast in photography. The blacks and grays of the image contrast with the reds and blues of the background, causing the squares to stand out more. Rule of three has also been used as the image seems to be have divided in a 3x3 section, with each square fitting each of position of the frame. 

We took this photo to use as an example for how lighting is used to create a good image. Here we see that the lights emitting from the table are directly contrasting with the gray and dark background. We also used the windows as a way to create a "frame" for the image. The windows allowed us to use rule of three and to focus attention on the silhouette of the person.

This shot has an interesting texture, We used a close up on this shot as that way the viewer can see the details in each bit of the painting such as the seaweed and pigments of color in the rocks.

In this shot we used the painting as framing. The fact that the picture was framed automatically makes it an example of framing, We tried to take a picture at an angle to give it an interesting perspective.

In this shot we used a high angled shot to create the impression of vulnerability. Our clothes also contrasted with the wooden flooring, allowing use to stand out more ,gaining the audiences attention. We also used direct mode of address as we are both looking directly at the camera.
