Camera Angles
An Establishing Shot is used in this picture to portray the gloominess of this scene. Emphasis can describe the camera angle because it is placed far back to capture the elements of the scene that give it its gloominess, emphasizing the lone lighthouse.
A Close Up Shot is a shot that captures the up-close view of the object being photographed. Balance can describe the camera angle because it is placed up close to focus on the object being photographed.
An Eye Level Shot shows the object being photographed at an eye level with the object. This can show informal balance because the shot isn't exactly placing the object in the center.
A Long Shot portrays the photographed object at a farther back angle and captures the object in its surroundings. This picture may have some rhythm in it because the shape of the light ray being similar to the rising cone shape of the lighthouse itself.
A Medium Shot is a shot similar to the Long Shot, but is more zoomed in to bring even more focus to the object being photographed. Informal balance can describe this scene because of the fact that is informal balance. There is a sense of instability while looking at the off centered, lone lighthouse in this picture.
An Over the Shoulder Shot is a shot that is taken from a view of looking over the "where-the-shoulder-would-be" area of the object that is being photographed.
A Point of View Shot is when the camera angle is pointed from where the object would be looking. This would be an example of emphasis because of the way the camera is framing the view of what the object would be pointing or looking at.
Lastly, a Worm's Eye View Shot is a shot where the camera is pointed upwards at the object, to make it seem much bigger than it actually is. This perfectly describes the principle of balance, where it gives the object a sense of power and stability and order.
When doing this project, I recommend making sure that you get every angle as accurately and precisely as they are described. Be sure to describe them as accurately as you can as well and use your notes on the Principles of Design to describe them, as well.
