ABOUT
MULTIMEDIA
While there are many differences between media
formats, there are also many similarities in the best way
to capture material and weave it into a story. Explore how to capture everyday activities, such as getting dinner, in an effective way using technical execution below!
Dinner Diaries
Wide Shot
When capturing a wide shot, your frame should allow viewers to see the entire subject along with their surrounding environment. In this case, I captured my sister walking through the parking lot to grab our pizza for dinner.
Medium Shot
When you are taking a medium shot, you should be focused on about half of the subjects body and the immediate surroundings, meaning things they could touch around them. I took these photos of my sister in the car on the way to grab dinner. You can see her face and upper torso along with surrounding elements such as the seat and car door.
Hand Close Up
Close up shots can be very hard to take because they need to be solely focused on the target object. I decided to zoom in close to our pizza box and our ice cream as our hands held them on the way home.
Face Close Up
Taking close up photos of a subjects face is a challenge because you want to capture all of the small details while still focusing on what is most important about the subject. I snapped some close shots of my sister getting ready to devour her ice cream, capturing mainly her facial expressions to evoke emotion.
Detail Shot
When trying to capture a detail shot, it is important to focus on something that is in your subjects space but from a very close up angle. For this photo, I took a super close shot of my sisters pizza before she got to eat it. This picture gives insight into the events that just occurred and what she is going to be eating in the near future.
