In video and film production Womens Miles Boykin Jersey , shots are classified as wide, medium, or close-ups. That sounds very basic, and it is! If you are learning to make videos, thinking about how to view scenes in wide Womens Jaylon Ferguson Jersey , medium or close shots is about like someone learning the ABS's before learning to read.
A wide shot shows the entire scene, the close-up concentrates on a small detail and a medium shot is somewhere in between. Sometimes the precise definition depends on who is doing the defining.
All three are important but the close-up is by far the MOST important. It is also the type of shot most ignored by novices.
Most new video producers overuse wide shots and completely ignore the close-up. This mistake leads to boring videos that don't draw in the viewer. Adding close-ups will greatly enhance the watchability of your video.
Especially with internet video, close-ups need to be frequent. That's because someone watching video on the internet is probably staring at a tiny viewing area, not a wide-screen TV that fills the living room.
Watching internet video means that if you really want the viewer to SEE something, you must fill the entire frame with it. If you expect viewers to get a decent look at those earrings you are selling Womens Marquise Brown Jersey , you cannot just show a wide shot of two people on a couch wearing the earrings. The earrings would look like nothing more than a stray pixel!
Instead, zoom in there and get a tight shot that fills the frame with the earrings. Then the viewer can see the detail and beauty. Next time you are watching QVC or looking through a catalog, notice that almost ALL the product shots are close-ups.
There are two ways to get a close-up. One is to have the camera a distance away and zoom all the way in. The other is to place the camera very close to the object and use the wide angle setting. (Zoomed all the way out.) On most video cameras, this will kick in the macro-lens feature. Macro is what enables you to focus on something that is very close to the lens. Without macro, an object has to be quite a distance from the camera to be focusable.
Believe it or not Womens Mark Andrews Jersey , the second way will probably work better. Now this depends a bit on what kind of video camera and lens you have but in the majority of cases it is true.
Macro is very common on video cameras and it is a FANTASTIC feature. It lets you get extreme close ups, with the cameras as close as one inch. If you are that close, even an tiny object the size of a postage stamp will fill the frame. Now THAT'S a close-up!
Next time you are watching TV, notice what effect close-ups have on the storytelling. Chances are, the details and emotions of the story are told using close-ups. If you really want to see the anguish on someone's face Womens Lamar Jackson Jersey , you need a close-up, not a wide shot from across the street!
Close-ups also tend to be more interesting shots because they often give the viewer a perspective they don't normally see. Anytime you give the viewer an unusual perspective, you have added to the visual interest and entertainment value of your video.
Bottom line is, make sure and use lots of close-ups in your next video!

Many people find themselves in what might be called the ?Time and Money Catch 22.? Trapped in a dead-end job with no hope for advancement Womens Hayden Hurst Jersey , they live from paycheck to paycheck making barely enough money to meet expenses. They long to break free and start a business of their own, because the hope of better money ?somewhere down the road? is way better than no hope at all!
The ?catch? is that starting a business would require more time than their job allows, and yet they can?t quit their job because they?re forced to depend on it to pay their bills. There?s just no getting around it! No new business is going to begin making money the very first day. There will always be a period of time when there?s just no money coming in.
What?s needed is a business that: ? One can start in his spare time and at his own pace
? Can be started with very little money
? Can be making money in a reasonably short time
? Most importantly, can be operated part-time while the entrepreneur maintains his present job during the ?start up? phase.
So the solution is to look for a business that one can manage part-time until such time as there?s enough money coming in to equal or exceed the income from the present job ? or at the very least, enough money to pay the bills!
If you find yourself in this situation Womens Justin Tucker Jersey , a good business for consideration would be the business of ?Credit Repair.? Now there are credit repair agencies that charge $795 to $2,000 or more for this service. Some attorneys even charge as much as $5,000. So clearly, you can make a lot of money doing credit repair.
But even though agencies and attorneys charge a great deal of money, there?s nothing they do that you can?t do yourself. Best of all Trace McSorley Jersey , you can start with very little money and do it part time while maintaining your current job.
Depending on which state you live in, you may need a license and may be required to be bonded. But you DON?T need to be an attorney, nor do you need any prior experience. Credit repair is easy to learn and easy to do, and with nearly 1 out of every 3 Americans having some kind of credit problems, you?ll likely have no trouble finding clients Iman Marshall Jersey , so you can begin making money in a relatively short time.
While a detailed discussion of the process is beyond the scope of this report, let?s go through a condensed ?run down? of how credit repair works.
1. You have your client go to and get a copy of his credit reports from the 3 major credit bureaus. They are Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion.
