Picture Analysis

Picture Analysis:

Two types of pictures:

Ø  Group shot

Ø  Live shots

Ø  Home shoots

Main types to consider are live shots, posed shots and impromptu shots.
Impromptu shots- this is where nothings are planned it’s all just free and natural.
Advantages of an impromptu shot:

Ø  You can get more emotion from the shot.

Ø  Not a lot of equipment is required.

Ø  Always get the unexpected.

Disadvantages of an impromptu shot:

Ø  You can’t direct the stars therefore you might not get the result you were hoping for.

Ø  You might get someone in shot that instant meant to be.

Ø  Something could go wrong whilst shooting.

Difference between a live shot and an impromptu shot as live shots will be shot whilst the person is preforming there talent however an impromptu shot can be filmed anywhere

Live shot- A picture of your band preforming live.

Advantages of using a live shot:

Ø  Lives shots look more natural

Ø  It’s getting a really feel for how say the band performs on stage.

Ø  A live shot can have a lot more freedom with regards to the people being shot.

Disadvantages of using a live shot:

Ø  Something could go wrong during the shooting.

Ø  You can’t manipulate the people like you can with posed shots.

Ø  Not so much equipment has to be lugged around by the camera man.

 Posed shoots- This is where the camera man directs the talent. This can also include the use of props. Another thing is mise-en-scene.

Advantages of a posed shot:

Ø  Get a grantee of quality.

Ø  You can manipulate the people.

Disadvantages of a posted shot:

Ø  It can look too forced.

Ø  Time consuming and expensive.

Ø  A lot of equipment to carry around with you.

Mise-en-scene means everything you can see in the shot. Example: Body language, lighting and Facial expression and clothes, props and make-up. Every little aspect in shot. Proxemics how close someone is to someone else.

 Picture analysis:

I love this picture because you can see that it is just so importunity. It looks like he didn’t even know there was someone there with a camera and I feel this shows so much of Pennies smith’s personaily.From this is can deduce that he has sort of a risky personality like he’s preforming on stage with his guitar and decided to kill the instrument that he was preforming with like he doesn’t have a care in the world. If I could describe this picture in one word I would describe it as well timed. The picture was captured just as the guitar hit the floor and smashed into a thousand fragments of wood flying everywhere. Also from the way  his legs and back are angled you can tell that he was grabbing that guitar and swinging it with force towards the floor. The fact the photographer has been able to edited the photograph he captured so that light contrasts that much is incredible. Overall I feel this picture is spectually captured with every inch of this picture filled with madness it's like every inch has a story line like the top right hand corner all we see is the base of the guitar flying through the air with force however,to the left of the guirtar and the silowet of the other band member what looks like shouting down a microphone shows so much emotion that the story contines through the picture.Even the microphone stand that has fallen over behind Pennie gives me the sense of agressive like someone must have thrown it over in rage which a sign passion for th music or hate within the life.
