Mastering the Art of Cinematic Shots: A Comprehensive Guide to Framing Techniques

PUBLISHED ON:
Cinematography is the backbone of visual storytelling. The power of a single frame can evoke emotions, set the tone, and immerse audiences into the narrative. Among the essential tools in a filmmaker’s arsenal are the various types of camera shots, each serving a specific purpose. In this guide, we’ll explore the seven fundamental types of camera shots—from the expansive extreme long shot to the intimate extreme close-up—and their applications in storytelling. Mastering the Art of Cinematic Shots: A Comprehensive Guide to Framing Techniques 1. Extreme Long Shot (ELS): The Establishing Frame Definition: An extreme long shot captures a vast area, emphasizing the environment rather than the subject. The subject, if present, appears very small or even indistinguishable. Purpose and Use: Establishing Location: Often used as the opening shot, it provides context about the setting.

Disconnected Journalism: The Absence of Passion and Core Values in Modern Media Professionals

PUBLISHED ON:
In recent years, journalism has witnessed a disconcerting shift. While once a vocation pursued by individuals deeply connected to society, today's media landscape increasingly hosts professionals who seem detached from the communities they serve. The allure of quick fame, coupled with an education system that focuses on technical skills over core journalistic values, has led to a media culture that often lacks empathy and integrity. Many aspiring journalists enter the industry without a genuine passion for the craft or a true understanding of their role in society. This trend not only impacts the quality of news but also contributes to a growing public mistrust of media. Disconnected Journalism: The Absence of Passion and Core Values in Modern Media Professionals The Gap in Journalistic Passion and Commitment Journalism has traditionally been more than a job—it’s been a calling. Great journalists like Edward R. Murrow, Ida B. Wells, and Anna Politkovskaya pursued their work with co...

The Core Values of Journalism: Lessons in Life and Integrity

PUBLISHED ON:
The Core Values of Journalism: Lessons in Life and Integrity As a journalism student, I’ve come to understand that the values which shape a good journalist are the same ones that define a person of character. Journalism isn’t just about crafting stories or uncovering facts; it’s about pursuing truth, staying grounded, and reflecting on what it means to live with integrity. In many ways, journalism holds up a mirror to the values we ought to embody as human beings. Journalism, as I see it, is less of a career and more of a guide to life. It teaches you to look deeply into situations, understand perspectives beyond your own, and remain grounded despite challenges. To survive in this world and the world of journalism, three qualities seem essential: common sense, flexibility, and being a good judge. These principles don’t just help you excel as a journalist; they build the foundation of a meaningful life. Common Sense: The Quiet Strength We All Need Common sense may sound like something s...

It is an exploration of how we perceive the world and translate that perception into frames that evoke emotions, communicate ideas, and immerse the audience in a narrative. At its core, cinematography is about perspective—the ability to see and show the world in three fundamental ways: through the subject's eyes, the object's eyes, and the audience's eyes. In this article, we will delve deeply into these three perspectives, explore their significance in storytelling, and examine their applications across various film genres. Understanding these "three eyes" will not only enhance your knowledge of cinematography but also provide you with a framework to analyze and create impactful visuals.
