Class Exercise: Scale + Framing

MEDIUM SIDE SHOT
  • Wanted to position Jiayi on the extreme left with a mid shot to lead the lines from the vending machines in a diagonal direction towards the right.
  • Side shot to show depth
  • Used a medium shot to capture Jiayi’s facial expressions

MEDIUM FRONTAL SHOT
  • Positioned Jiayi in the middle of the frame and took a frontal mid shot.
  • Aligned the subject (Jiayi) in the middle of the 2 vending machines so that the line of symmetry can give focus on the subject.
  • The horizontal lines from the vending machine give a sense of balance and stability

LONG LOW ANGLE SHOT
  • Tried to make Jiayi look taller using a low angle and long shot
  • This angle produces a towering effect of the elements in the photo. The vending machines seem to look quite menacing from towering over.
