Post 2: section A - Shot Sizes

There are seven main shot sizes used thoughout media and film, extreme close up, close up, medium close up, three quater shot (3/4 shot), medium long shot, long shot and medium shot.

Here I have scaned in my drawings of the different shot sizes of which I used as a plan for taking photographs using the digital camera.

Here I have taken photos of a class mate (Chloe Stockman) to show the different techniques and shot sizes in action. Each shot size is used to help create different effects. These shots are a key basis to photography, media and the film industry as they are simple and effective shots and sizes.

Medium Close Up

Medium Long Shot 
Long Shot 

After taking these photos using a digital camera I learnt that even though the person stays the same as the composition and as the size of each photograph changes it brings a different feel and depth to the piece, creating a different effect. So if I was trying to create an intense scene I would use the extreme close up as it is more powerful. and dramatic. Something I would improve when taking photographs again would be to not crop the feet out of the medium long shot.
