For my first structure final image I decided to choose a vertical shot of the south face of the building. I wanted to show the scale of the structure, so I waited for the right time to shoot as the couple were passing by in front. I imported my image into Camera RAW to adjust the temperature and exposure. I then brought it into Photoshop to optimise further, using perspective correction and clone stamp to clean up dirt and remove pedestrians in the background.

Adobe Spark Web Page

Adobe spark has a variety of different templates for your work to be presented such as instagram stories/posts, photo collage, presentation and slideshow. There is also a custom template option for you to create yourself.

PDF 

PDF format can be used to present your images on. I feel like this isn't the choice for me as I don't think it will show off my final images well enough together.

Photoshop Canvas

Photoshop canvas is a great way to showcase your images as a whole. I think you can get more freedom to place your images wherever you want instead of using a ready made template option. I think photoshop canvas will be my choice of presenting my images as I think they will match each other well close together.

Flipsnack Zine

Flipsnack is a presentation option I have used before to show my images in a professional zine format. I think Flipsnack would be a good option for my Structure final images to showcase them through an online magazine. 

"Acqua di Gioia" with Emily Didonato Fragrance by Giorgio Armani

This advertisement was published onto Youtube for commercial purposes. Techniques in this video were shots such as aerial, panning, extreme close up, medium/long shots and slow motion. The creator has used cool tone colour grading to emphasise the mood of the video which I think is delicate and mysterious. There was use of sound which was elegant piano that added to the locations in the advert. I think this video was successful in communicating the brand as there was a consistency in colour which matches the fragrance bottle at the end. 

Christy Turlington and Edward Burns for Eternity | CALVIN KLEIN

This advert was published onto the Calvin Klein YouTube channel for commercial purposes. Techniques in this video were shots such as birds eye, long shots, close ups, medium shots, reflection shots and slow motion. The creator has used a variety of black and white/colour graded shots which I think emphasises the romantic mood for this advertisement. The use of slow, romantic music also helped communicate the brands fragrance “Eternity”.

Video Tripod 

A video tripod will provide you with a longer control arm that'll allow you to be very precise with your movements. Video tripods also tend to have longer top plates than photo tripods, which allows for more flexibility with camera positioning and weight distribution. 

Gimbal

A gimbal is a tool that uses motors and intelligent sensors to support and stabilise a camera, meaning you can film smooth video footage while on the move. 

Dolly

A camera dolly is a wheeled device that creates smooth camera movements for films and videos. Platform dollies are a traditional design that features a wide, flat surface where you mount the camera. They usually have handles used by the camera operator, grip, or camera assistant to push or pull the dolly.

Composition refers to the way elements of a scene are arranged in a camera frame. Shot composition refers to the arrangement of visual elements to convey an intended message.

Long shot 

Long shots (also commonly called Wide shots) show the subject from a distance, emphasising place and location, while Close shots reveal details of the subject and highlight emotions of a character.

Medium shot

Medium Shot Shows part of the subject in more detail. For a person, a medium shot typically frames them from about waist up. This is one of the most common shots seen in films, as it focuses on a character (or characters) in a scene while still showing some environment. 

Close up

Close-Up Fills the screen with part of the subject, such as a person's head/face. Framed this tightly, the emotions and reaction of a character dominate the scene. Extreme Close Up Emphasises a small area or detail of the subject, such as the eyes or mouth.

POV 

A point of view shot (also known as POV shot, first-person shot or a subjective camera) is a short film scene that shows what a character or object is looking at (represented through the camera).

Birds eye 

In filmmaking and video production, a bird's-eye shot refers to a shot looking directly down on the subject. The perspective is very foreshortened, making the subject appear short and squat. 

A camera movement refers to the way a camera shifts to visually narrate and shape a viewer’s perspective of a scene. In the world of film and video, there are several basic and advanced camera movements that can help enhance your story. When you move a camera a certain way, it can also alter the narrative of the story you’re trying to tell and the delivery of the content you’re presenting. Effective and well-placed camera movements make for a professional-quality final product. 

Panning 

Panning is a camera movement where the camera pivots left or right on a horizontal axis while its base remains in a fixed location. A pan allows the audience to see more of the scene. Camera panning establishes the location, and also tracks the movement of the characters or objects within that location. 

Tilt 

A camera tilt is a vertical movement in which the camera base remains in a fixed location while the camera pivots vertically. Tilting is useful for establishing shots that contain tall vertical scenery or introducing a character in a dramatic fashion.

Zoom

A zoom shot is when the focal length of a camera lens is adjusted to give the illusion of moving closer or further away from the subject. Zoom shots are done with a zoom lens, which have variable focal lengths.

Tracking 

A tracking shot is any shot in which the camera physically moves sideways, forward, or backward through the scene. Tracking shots usually last longer than other shots, follow one or more moving subjects, and immerse the audience in a particular setting.

Dolly

A dolly shot is a specific kind of tracking shot where we follow a subject on an apparatus called a dolly. A dolly is a cart that the camera is mounted on, which rolls along dolly track or on its own wheels. Dolly shots are designed to be smooth and controlled camera movements.
