Lighthouse

The shot above is a close up shot. A close up shot is used to tightly frame the subject. The principle in this shot is informal balance because we have the land to the right of the lighthouse and just the top of the ocean on the left side of the lighthouse. There are four raindrops in random locations. Lastly the very faint beam of the lighthouse is shining off to the left.

The shot above is an establishing shot (long shot). A long shot or establishing shot is used to establish the setting and is typically the first shot of a new scene. The principal of design in this shot is unity because the rain is all falling in about the same direction with the same color and about the same length. This could also create a sense of repetition from the repeating drops of rain falling from the sky.

This is an extreme closeup shot which allows only specific details of the chosen subject to be focused on. The principal of design in this shot would be formal balance because behind the lighthouse on the left is green grass with a grey sky and on the right is mostly the same thing. 

The above shot is an eye level shot. This type of shot is considered emotionally neutral and is used for unbiased presentation. The principal of design in this shot is diagonal lines. This can be seen in the falling rain that is at a diagonal slope to the left. Formal balance can also be seen as there is water on the left and right of the subject, rain on the left and right of the subject, and a dark smoky sky on the left and right.

This is an example of a birds eye shot. A birds eye shot is a camera angle from the perspective of a bird. In this image one principal of design would be informal balance because the left side of the shot is water and the right is the land. The lighthouse is also shining of to the left creating a further imbalance. Another principal is curved lines shown in the curvature of the land down the center of the shot.

The shot above is a medium shot which is used to focus on the subject but still allow the background to be seen. One principal of design is horizontal lines. Horizontal lines can be seen in the land which is horizontal in the shot. Diagonal lines can also once again be seen in the rain.

This shot is an example of an over the shoulder shot. Over the shoulder shots are usually used to focus on another subject from the perspective of a subjects shoulder. For this shot the main focus is the light beaming out of the lighthouse. Emphasis is a principal of design in this shot. The lighthouse beam is being emphasized because of the color contrast between the rest of the shot. It is also in the middle of the shot. 

An example of a point of view shot is above. A POV shot is used to show what the subject is looking at in the scene. The principals of design include vertical lines, repetition, and framing. Two vertical lines can be seen in the lighthouse structure which also frame the lighthouse beam in the shot. Repetition is once again seen in the rain throughout the shot.

Above is a worms eye view which can be used to create a sense of power. One principal of design is simplicity. Simplicity is shown through the bland grey sky. Diagonal lines are also seen in the rain for about the fifth time and the ground. Formal balance is also once again shown in this picture on the left and right of the light house.
