WIIIDEE, MID, clOse shots

Shoot 12


WIIIIIDEEEE, MID, clOse SHOTS

In this assignment, we were assigned to take picture different compositions based on the distance of the subject to the camera, like wide shot capture the surroundings of the subject, mid shot captures the part of the subject and the activity they're indulged in and close shot captures the mood or emotion evoked on the subject's face while in an activity. 


WIIIDEE Shot capturing the surrounding of the subject showing the place where the activity has taken place what else is around him 



MID shot capturing him and the activity he is doing, conveys what exactly he is doing and how the focus has shifted from his surrounding to the work.



and now for the close shot it shows the expression and his mood while working, it does not focus on the environment or the activity but the subject himself and how he settles in that environment doing a particular activity. 



Observations 

i observed how we perceive an image based on the type of shot it is, like in wide shot you'll focus on the environment where he at and assume what work he is doing, it still conveys a message without words, like in mid shot too how you will now focus on the activity and how is engaged in the work and for the close shot you will focus on his face and overall body language while working. 

Learning

i learnt how different types of shots requires you to experiment around with the angles and not keep a monotonous form of composition where it might get boring for the viewer since there is no dynamism but zoom in all three shots, i remember how i took my first 3shots in the same way and how boring it turned to be, since the subject and the activity felt to stiff. 


Other Shots!


this is where i was done with the assignment but i still wanted capture the same subject and thee activity from different perspectives and also playing a little with the focus points and trying out other compositions as well, also continuing to the next the assignment.


i really wanted to put this in the close shot since it captures that body language and the expression that i was looking for but it had to closer than that to be put up in close shot, maybe mid shot? but again the emphasis on the activity is somewhat minimal compared to his facial expressions







the above two images fits really good in mid shot since activity is emphasised in both but the overall lighting and shadows are somewhat off compared to the one ive put up in MID SHOT


expressions are emphasised along with the sheer detailing capturing the sweat and the expression while he works


tried to experiment a bit with the focus points (foreground, midground and background)

Shoot 4

  13th Sept'25 Shoot 4  Motion Freeze Motion freeze in photography refers to capturing a fast-moving subject in a way that it appears perfectly sharp and still, without any visible blur. This is achieved by using a fast shutter speed (e.g., 1/250s, 1/500s, 1/1000s or faster, depending on the subject’s speed). The technique is often used in sports, wildlife, or action photography to highlight details that the human eye might miss, such as a droplet of water mid-air or an athlete in motion. By freezing movement, the photographer emphasizes precision, clarity, and a sense of immediacy in the moment. Falling Matches, capturing this freeze was not an easy task perfectly timing every shot to get that one satisfying motion freeze showing a couple of matches completely still as if they were hanged and not falling. spinning my batmobile (bike) keys and capturing that spin in the dark, also the exposure of this image wasnt set low but the overall lighting of the room was low and on to...

Shoot 3

 13th Sept'25 Shoot 3  (AT HOME) Playing with Exposure (again) In this assignment, we explored the impact of exposure on photographic composition. The task was to experiment with different levels of exposure by intentionally creating overexposed and underexposed shots. The aim was to observe how varying light levels influence the mood, clarity, and overall visual balance of an image, but this time at home.  The exposure is set for the darker, ambient parts of the scene, which causes the brightest elements the lights on the stall to become washed. This means a complete loss of detail turning this into pure white areas. However, this approach makes the details in the shadows and the background clearly visible. Original the exposure is set correctly for the brightest part of the image (the stall's lights), preserving all the detail within them, prioritizing the frame (the lights), the shadows and the darker background are dark as hell, meaning they lose all detail and mer...

Shoot 5

   15th Sept'25 Shoot 5 Motion Blur Motion blur in photography happens when a moving subject is captured with a slower shutter speed, causing the motion to appear as a streak or blur in the image. Instead of freezing the action, it emphasizes the sense of movement, speed, and dynamism . Photographers often use this intentionally like blurring car lights in night photography, showing flowing water as silky smooth, or capturing the rush of people in a busy street to create mood and energy. However, if unintentional, motion blur can make photos look shaky or unclear. It’s essentially a creative tool that depends on the right balance of shutter speed, subject speed, and camera stability . made the lighting background blur using colourful wallpaper on the phone and continuously movie it get the blur and put emphasis on the still subject in front  running Jaivin, running towards the camera in ghost capturing its blur meanwhile the background stays is, focusing more on the blur...
