Camera Composition

 Framing

Camera framing deals with the way in which a shot is composed. It incorporates the number of subjects in the shot, their positions, and the shot's angles. Camera framing helps photographers note the different aspects of a shot to determine how they will best portray their subject(s) to the audience.


Rule of thirds

The rule of thirds requires that one creates a grid of two horizontal lines and two vertical lines in their head when taking a picture. Placing the main subject along one of the intersecting points or on one of the lines helps the shot look more natural and appeal to the audience.


Depth of field deep focus

In a deep depth of field shot, most (if not all) of the background is in focus along with the frame's subject. These types of images are sharp and clear. Deep depths of field allow audiences to notice both the subject and background, with equal focus.


Depth of field shallow focus

In a shallow depth of field shot, only the subject is in focus and the background is blurred. This type of shot directs all of the audience's attention to the subject; they are likely to look past the blurred background and only focus on the subject.


Focus pull

With this technique, the focus is changed from one subject to another. Switching between the subjects of focus guides audiences on which parts of the shot they should focus on. 


All photographs were taken by me.

Evaluation Question 1: How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

 Below is the link to my YouTube video: https://youtu.be/dDTCcIevXUc   Transcript Hello. My name is Kelly Lopez, and I will be answering compulsory question 1. The question is "How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?" Throughout my magazine I incorporated images such as the cover image on the cover page. I had mastheads, a barcode, subheadings, a tagline, an issue number, a date, columns, editor information, and even color schemes. I maintained the color scheme throughout the cover page, the contents page, and the double page spread. I kept my fonts the same for my cover page as opposed to using alternating ones throughout. I felt that this helped make my cover more aesthetically pleasing and more simplistic. I tried to ensure that any images featured were always the center of the attention in the design. In one way or another everything else on the page ensured that the readers stayed captivated and that they focu...

Women in Hip-Hop Magazines

Ever since hip-hop has been popular, it has been an industry dominated by men. Many male artists are credited for their legacies left on the genre, while women are overlooked. However, female artists like Lil Kim, Lauryn Hill, Queen Latifah, Remy Ma, and many others have made large impacts on the sound of hip-hop and the way it is perceived.

As more female artists have grown in the platform, it is becoming more normalized for women to be featured on the magazine covers.                      Though there has been progress, we have lots of room left for improvement.
