On this album cover he looks intimidating, from the way his head is tilted and his eyes are glaring at the camera, and therefore powerful and perhaps an important person. The cigar he's smoking implies he's rich, and because tattoos on knuckles originated from gang culture there's acpects of this about him. The pattern bordering the cover is the same pattern as that on bandaners which youth's often where accross the bottom half of their face to hide their identity; so there's a reference to crime in this photo.

Non-diegetic and diegetic sounds

Diegetic sounds are those whose source is visible on the screen or is implied to be coming from the action present. It can also been known as actual sound and is used to create realism. Examples of this are characters voices, sounds made from objects and music coming from instruments on the screen.

Non-diegetic sound is basically the opposite of diegetic sound; it's source is not visible on the screen and is not implied to be coming from any action present. This includes sound effects, narrator's commentary and mood music. This is an example of the use of non-diegetic sound made to seem like diegetic sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KUZVwsjTvw

Panning shot

This is where a camera is mounted to a tripod and is moved from left to right or vis versa and is commonly used in conjuction with a point of view shot. An example is when a character is searching a room. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds9LTr_m0Y8 Here is an example.

Crane shot

This is acheived by attatching a camera to a crane. It is often used at the end of a film; moving up and away from the characters. This is a very long example of a crane shot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPRekG7hLM4

Arc shot

In an arc shot the camera moves a semi or a full circle around a character, characters or a significant object. A tracking dolly is needed to acheive this to a high standard.It means the audience can see the reactions of characters and it often increases the intensity of a scene. I couldnt find an example of this shot so perhaps later on il post an example of my own.

Tilt shot

A tilt shot is a simple movement of the cameras upwards or downwards on an axis. Using the upwards shot on a character creates a sense of height and power. It can be used in conjuction with a point of view shot meaning the audience can follow the characters point of view of the character or object. In this clip it is used so the audience can follow the action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjudidLjXTE.

Crab shot

The side ways shot, or crab shot, is used to follow a character or objects movement enabling the audience to keep up with the action. A dolly or stabalizer is also used to acheive the smoothness the shot requires. Here is an example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA4PeaQa-Bo.

Tracking shot

This is a simple movement backwards or forwards usually shot with tracking dolly to insure a smooth shot. Tracking inwards draws the audience into the action while tracking out signifies the end of the action. It puts the focus on a shot on a ceratin detail. The zoom shot is an alternative of the tracking shot if the correct equipment is not to hand and is acheieved simply by ajusting the focul length of a camera. Here is an example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL34nvz2MC4; it brings the focus of the shot onto her smile.

Other shots

Other shots include the eye level shot, which makes the audience feel as though they are observing the scene from a humans perspective.The low angle shot is another and it increases the height of an actor, useful when filming short actors, and it also makes them look powerful and intimidating. This is because we see the scene as if from a child's height. Oblique/ Canted angle shot is when a scene is shot at a slanted angle and creates an uneasy feeling.

High angle shot

This shot is a less extreme version of birds eye view, and is acheived using a crane which elevates the camera. The character becomes part of a wider picture and the angle makes the character look vunerable because people look at children from this angle and children are usually powerless. It is often used in films when a taller charcacter is talking to a shorter one. As you can see, the boy in the shot looks vunerable and powerless.

Extreme close-up shot

The extreme cloe up shot is a magnified version of the close up shot and is only used in dramatic scenes and not to just show the actors general reactions. It could show important emotional detail like a tear falling from someones eye. Above is an example of this shot, you can see clearly, just from her eyes, the concern the character feels. The extreme closeness makes the audience feel intimate with the character and they relate to their feelings.
