My take on camera shots

Hello everyone ! Today , I am going to talk about camera shots which are used in filming.😄

1) Wide shot- subjects takes up full frame . 
( depending on the physique take from down or up )





2) Medium close up shot - A camera shot generally , taken above chest to show face clearly.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              3) Cut away- A shot of something other than the subject or main action.



                                                                       
                                     
4) extreme close up shot - to focus on where the subject is seeing / moving and , which part of the the body .
                                                 

                                                        

5) Extreme wide shot - Can be used as an establishing shot and can show the background or the number of people.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
6) O.S.S ( Over the Shoulder Shot )- To show conversation between two people.  



 7) Wide shot - A shot which gives the overview of the picture.
 8 )P.O.V( point of view )- the viewer sees the scene in the subject's perspective and eyes.
 9) Mid shot - scene where torso of the subjects are in focus to show emphasis on the conversation

 10 ) Cut in - close up shot of something related to the scene

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                11 ) Close up shot-A certain detail of the subjects in focus.

12 ) Establishing shot- shows  who is the subject and where  he/she present in a scene


                                                                                         
13 ) Mid shot- taking a camera shot of the torso of the subject.















During my experience , I strictly followed the notes which I wrote during class ,
but while I was taking the shots I automatically looked at what would be an apt background for the shot.So , I learnt that even if you stick to the notes you end up being creative as the final outcome is a visual.From the time , I wrote this blog I have been able to widen my knowledge about media studies,
so when I write my blog now days I tend to be free and creative in conveying information while also being structured.

Ryo Onishi :The animator who can bring life to the characters

I feel that I should have talked about him earlier!!! My favorite animator in Dragon ball Super : Broly , Ryo Onishi! He has animating skills which bring about animation which is very fluid,which goes well with the simplistic character designs of the main character designer Naohiro Shintani.Goku doing the his warm-up in the teaser trailer is the best example ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1rECVSJfQA ) CHARACTER DESIGN ), but  Goku eating doesn't fall short either(pic 1).The only jarring shot compared to other shots was Goku"s first clash with Broly (pic 2).He and Naotoshi Shida bring about the main fluid moments in the movie!!! PICTURE 1 PICTURE 2 I feel the success of the film was the director, animators and producers working in sync as well as the good schedule and budget which attracted even many freelance animators.The animator's work as well as the new line filter technology introduced at Toei animation helped bring the reall

UNREAL-BUT-REAL-MAGAZINE-SUBMISSION

My online magazine targets children above 10 years who have love for science and experimenting as I always did. The magazine will raise the curiosity of the reader and will also promote Science as a fun activity. My cover page idea is based on a thought I had "flight into the never before seen skies even past the clouds", this idea has the clouds as obstacles and the young boy getting through them with ease. The contents page's artwork came to be when this idea created another topic to work on " Onward to space!!" which is why I drew children riding on a Rocket to space. These thoughts and their respective illustrations symbolize the infinite possibilities that lie in science, and that it can be a very enjoyable journey if taken with the right approach. The Double Spread has a background of large water bubbles symbolizing infinite possibilities, and as the experiment is to do with water I felt this to be apt. The photos I have click

Sound editing, so how was it for me ?

I started with writing a story, that had elements that I could easily find as clips from YouTube. The story goes like this:"It is heavily raining along with lighting and thunder. During this rain a man is walking and sees a cat and attempts to shelter it until the rain stops. Birds start to chirp and crickets sing bringing the morning. The rooster roosts to wake every soul up as if it was declaring that everything is safe and the rain had stopped, signaling to everyone that they can come out of their shelters. Then the man walks to his farm where we can clearly hear the rooster after which we hear the cows and goats " The editing process was completely new to me and I had to go through trial and error and refer to tutorials which were of only five minutes length to ensure that I wasn't wasting my time.So I picked up on the things I had to do and with a few attempts I managed  to complete the project. I then asked my mom to listen to the clip. She said there was a
