Below are a variety of pictures/shots demonstrating the different angles and compositions used with the DSLR camera. We learned how to alter the shutter speed (how much light enters the lens) and we also learned how to use the aperture (F-stop). This affects the depth of field (the focus of the camera).

• Long Shot (in focus) – F22 (strong depth of field) – F2.8

The shutter speed can also create meaning. For example a slow shutter speed would be used objects to show the audience the object is moving as it creates a lined blur of the object. However if you wanted a sharp shot of an object and make it in focus you would change the settings to a high shutter speed. This would have improved our pictures.

All the images below used different angles and framings to create a narrative for the audience. This will impact on my pictures that I will be taking for my music magazine as I will need to think about how to create a narrative from just a picture to bring across a message to the audience.
