Photography (In depth)- Camera Angles

Camera Angles In Photography

• Eye level : This technique is when the photos are taken at the same level or height as the object or person. Most photographers use this technique, so when you  take a photo it would be better to take them from different perspectives so that you can get a more interesting photo and make it have a better composition.
• High-level : This angle is when the picture is taken from above the photo eye-line. Making the picture more dramatic, because it looks down on the person/character. 
• Low-angle : With this angle the camera positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eyeline, looking up.
• Bird's-eye angle : This would be looking directly down on the object, giving it an effect of largeness and importance.
• Slanted : This is put to the side so that the horizon meets the bottom of the frame at an angle. Giving it a sense of uneasiness or thought. Making you see it differently, giving the object and background a different view & emphasis.

Negative Space Activity

Negative space is in mostly all pictures, if not all. Many times we want to take away that from a photograph, but it's usually what males it strong. Negative space is the space that surrounds the main focus/subject in photo. This space is like a contrast to the main object. So their is balance and the eye knows where to be directed, its important that either the subject or the negative space have a solid color and other have more than one. Usually though, the negative space gives emphasis to the subject, so it's important to not take it away in a photograph.

Five Negative Space Examples:

Examples of Business Cards

The Elements of Graphic -Business Card-

1. Lines- These are in almost everything, which is why we need to know how to use them. Lines are what guide the eye. They help give out the message of a design and appearance.

2. Shapes- Their are three types of shapes: natural, abstract and geometric. You can find natural shapes outside, like leaves or manmade things and they are usually fluidIt  or irregular.  These can be like circles in the page or inside the logos.

3. Mass-  It equals size. On your pages, overall it has a mass, and also each element that is used has a mass.

4. Texture-  This not only applied to the the texture of the piece, but also how the elements were portrayed. Like graphic techniques, or the way the text was styled or colored.

5. Color-  This doesn't specifically have to be red, yellow etc. It could be a gray, white or black in shades. However it has to be used well, because its what creates mood, dimension and what gives life to the image or other.

Developing the Theme

Student Life- These pages should really show what it is to be a student at WAIS. The pictures and the way the pages are decorated should relate to us. Maybe have things that use or like.



Club pages-  These should have pictures of the club's activities, pics of the sponsor and the members. Its' format or design should tie in with the club's purpose. For example, if it's the Med Club, then have like doctor things or do like the heartbeat line.


Event pages- This part should be like dark for a background, so that the pictures stand out. Or like last year add effects to them to show a difference between those and the other pictures in the yearbook. Maybe make the captions bright colors or different font.

Photography Concepts

Depth of field is used here because the main idea is portrayed and the boat in the back serves like a background. Even though both items are shown, the fish is what is supposed to stand out, making it clearer than the boat. 

Repetition is shown from the lines there. They are parallel and all go the same direction, repeating and not taking too much attention form helicopter.

Rule of thirds is shown because even though you want to see the pain the women are going through, you also want to see the real problem. But in order for the women not to take up too much attention the only take up 1/3 of the photograph's space.

Unusual angle is shown usually pictures are taken from our angle(horizontally) but this one was taken in a sideways angle. Making it possible to see the dogs, the girl and the line that is ahead of them.

This one would be leading lines because it was taken kind of form a sideways angle, making the lines go downward from one side to another. Leading our eye from one side of the photograph to the other in a parallel way.

Balance is shown because there is nothing that takes away from other things in the photo, they all have the same lighting and color level.

Fill the frame is shown because the main idea or what the photographer wants the ppl. to see, which is the volcano and its activity. There isn't another thing there to take away from the theme of the photograph.

Due to, both sides of picture being equal or congruent, this one is symmetry. If you were to fold it vertically, then the picture would be the same on both sides.

Depth is shown here, because even though for the eye the fire looks like its right beside the man. In reality though its way behind him and you can see how it goes back.

For this picture it would be framing because of the angle it was taken from. The walls from the sides serve as a frame , making the center of the photo stand out.

"Notebook" Mock-up

This could be one of the inside cover, where the pictures could like taped onto the "notebook" page. The captions on the pictures could be in different fonts in one page(or change for each page), but in a font that shows like its written by a student or like note-kind. If the page is for a club it can have a group and sponsor picture. On the edges of paper there should be like "doodles" relating to the pages' theme, and/or put cool frames on it. Also make the page colorful, like not plain but bright.

Idea for yearbook theme: Notebook
It will be like a notebook full of wais daily life and the writing can be like notes or in pen/note writing
Group: Isabel and Cynthia

Theme

Pictures, from everyday student life should build up a WAIS symbol, like a wildcat or the W.




For the inside it should be like pictures of "in the moment". Pictures that tell a story, and start saying what WAIS really is, like a piece of what goes on everyday in school a chapter of our lives.
