Bones (Hands)

Bones (Hands)

In science we have been looking and bones in the human body. This week we were looking at the hand and the things it is made out of: bones, joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles. 

The straws on the hand represent the bones that make up the hand. The string going through the strings represent the tendons. Three straws on each finger except the thumb to represent the bones in the fingers.

Bones:The bones in our body gives up structure without them our bodies would have no support. 

Joints: Joints are where two bones meet. They make the skeleton flexible without them, movement would be impossible.  

Tendons: Tendons connect muscles to bones, allowing us to move.

Ligament: Ligaments help to hold things in place.

Muscles: Muscles function to produce force and motion.

Camera Techniques

Camera Techniques:

Close up:

This camera shot is used often in film. This technique is used for many reasons. It can be used to add emotion to a scene, so the actor can really connect with the audience. It is not only used on people but on objects too.

Medium Close Up:

This technique much like close up camera shots is used for the audience to still connect and see the emotions of the character while also showing their torso and the background.

Mid shot:

In a movie a medium shot, mid shot, or waist shot is a camera angle shot from a medium distance. It is used in many different ways and scenes like dialogue ect.

Long + Wide:

Long + Wide shot is used to show the entire object or person and their relation to the background and this around them. This technique is less used in film.

Extreme Long Shot:

This technique is used as an establishing shot for scene setting. It is usually used to show an exterior shot of a scene or thrilling action. 

Low angle:

\

Low angles are used to create a sense of strength and power for the actor/s in the shot. It is one of the lesser used techniques.

High Angle:

This camera angle like the low angles is used to create mood. The high angle is used to look down on the character to create a sense of vulnerability or powerlessness.

Eye Level:

This is a common technique shot at the characters eye level. The camera does not need to show the audience the actor's eyes nor does the actor have to look into the camera for it to be shot as an eye level shot.

Panorama:

Panorama is a wide shot that is used for filming landscapes ect. It is a rarer used camera shot.

Tilt:

This is a shot where the camera is tilted. It is a well used technique in film.

Overhead:

Overhead is very similar to the high angle shot. It is shot where you film from the person or object above the head.

Tacking:

This is a technique where that camera tracks the character/s. It is useful for running and walking shots ect.

Photography - Rule of thirds

In Art we have been learning about rule of thirds. How a image is divided into a three by three grid. With the focal point of the photo being where the lines of the grid intersect.


These are sketches I drew when practising how to do rule of thirds.


This is my redraw of a photo using rule of thirds. Each focal point of the image is where the lines of the grid intersect.

Visual Arts - Photo Montage

Visual Arts - Photo Montage

This term in Visual Arts we are looking at photo montage. I have made my own photo montage

Reflection: I think overall I did a decent job with my photo montage. But I think I could of done better. Because photo montages usually combined other things together to make an overall image. While I just put images of the same thing on top of something else.

Question: How do you think I could improve this photo montage.
