                                  Suri's Blog post 

In today's class we were asked to share our blog post about camera angles with a friend or classmate. I choose to take a look at my friends Suri and Kamryn's blog post and comment on some pictures I liked. 

The Aerial View of this picture  shows the entirety of the table and everyone's workspace. Something I liked about this picture was the way it was capturing an organized mess, it's the table I sit at, so it’s cool to see it from so high above. It looks very professional. This picture evokes a feeling of disorder, where students work on camera angles. 

In this picture the description says “Mid-Shot” but I believe it doesn't exactly fit the text book definition of a mid-shot since it is not "from the waist up" but never the less the framing of the photo is similar to a midshot because it focuses on the woman's upper body. The picture itself has sentiments of strength, heritage, and resilience since the angle of the photo demonstrates the personal detail while still maintaning interest in the American flag background. 

This High-Angle shot shows a girl on the ground, hugging her knees. The picture evokes a feeling of sadness or distress. What particularly intrigued me about this picture is how though the high angle made a  suggestion towards the feeling of powerlessness and maybe vulnerability by making the girl look small.

This Point of View shot depicts a girl typing on her laptop. The immersive shot depicts she everyday life of a high school student. It conveys concentration and dedication by concentration on the student's screen. The shot is taken as if it were the audience doing the work which makes the audience further focuses on the words being written and the background of the shot which looks to be a classroom.
