It can also be thought of as the general look of the magazine. · Reflect on the idea of each magazine having a House Style:  The idea of each magazine having a House Style is a great way to organize your magazine. Also, it adds a professional & clean look to your brand. · How do you think House Styles are developed? I believe that House Styles are developed by a collaborative group of editors.

House Styles are used to help organize a magazine whilst having a branded representation. · How might House Styles be influenced by their genre of magazine?

 Welcome back to my blog! Today, I'll be reviewing the different compositions & the way that they're used. FRAMING: Refers to using elements of a scene within focus. Here, I placed myself in a mid distance. RULE OF THIRDS:

 Welcome back to my blog! In this post, I'll be reviewing the six different camera shots which are: -Establishing shot -Close up -Two shot -Long shot -Over the shoulder shot -Point of view shot ESTABLISHING SHOT The establishing shot is used to show the scenery or environment that's taking place. As you can see, these shots were taken in the beautiful city of New York. Also, I implemented the high, low & dutch tilt angles. CLOSE UP The close up shot is when the face covers majority of the screen. Capturing the person's emotions & feelings in that exact moment. For instance, the emotions that are being shown in these photos are excitement! TWO SHOT The two shot is when two people are together in the same frame. This shows the visual interaction between the two subjects. LONG SHOT The long shot is when the person/character has their full body clearly in the frame. This camera shot allows not only the person but, the scenery background to be included also. OVER THE SHO

Hey there!  *CLICK* Today, I'll be showing examples of three different camera angles: -High angle -Low angle -Canted angle High Angle:  High angle shots is a technique where the camera is pointed down on the subject above. It's said to be used to make the subject appear vulnerable. However, I sometimes use this technique to capture my background & to include those in the photo because this angle is very inclusive. Low Angle:  Low angles are used below to capture the subject up in their direction. In the first photo, the photographer went down the steps in order to capture the image I was looking for. It contrasts the high angle shot due to the fact that, it allows the subject to appear powerful instead of vulnerable.  CANTED ANGLE: This angle is also known as the dutch tilt or the oblique angle & it involves the camera being tilted so that the vertical lines are met in the corners of the photo. Also, in cinematography it's used to demonstrate trauma & tension. B

My parents have always instilled in me that, I can do whatever I put my mind to & therefore, I try to remember that. I'm taking this class due to the fact that, I'd like to be a journalist & media studies can help perfect my craft.
