Sebastiao Salgado's exposition

Sebastiao Salgado is a famous photographer who have made an exposition at Caixaforum of Girona. It was interesting to went there and saw all the amazing pictures that he took in diferent situations, moments and places. It was curious to saw that he always took the pictures useing black and withe tecnic, but my favourite picture was this.

This was my favourite picture of the exposition because I really like feline animals and cheetahs are one of my favorite. When I saw it I can only though what wonderful it was. The way that this animal is looking at Salgado transmet a lot of feelings.

I think it would be so interesting to be at the place of this picture, with this animal and at the same time as Salgado, but it would be so scary too because this is a savage animal and you don't know how is going to react. 

Santiago was so luckly to found this animal and in this way take a magestic picture like this because as I said is a savage animal and you can not control them.

ANGLES AND SHOTS

HIGH ANGLE : Is when the camera looks down on the subject from a high angle and the point of focus often gets "swallowed up" this effect can make the subject seem vulnerable or powerless when applied with the correct mood, setting, and effects.

LOW ANGLE: Is a shot from a camera angle  positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eye line, looking up.The effect of the low-angle shot is that it makes the subject look strong and powerful. 

SLANTED ANGLE: This shows someone, an object or something from an unnatural point of view. This is usually used at films to show things that only the audience can see.

EYE LEVEL SHOT:  Is the one which the camera is placed at the subject’s height, so if the actor is looking at the lens, he wouldn’t have to look up or down. Eyelevel shots are incredibly common because they are neutral. They often have no dramatic power, they are ideal for romantiuc, comedies and new castings.

AERIAL SHOT: Is a shot of a scene or photo taken from a higher vantage point than what is being filmed. This gives a greater understanding of what is happening in the scene as you get a 360 degree view

CLOSE UP SHOT: Is a type of shot, which tightly frames a person or an object. Close-ups are one of the standard shots used regularly with medium shots and long shots (cinematic techniques). Close-ups display the most detail, but they do not include the broader scene. Moving in to a close-up or away from a close-up is a common type of zooming.

LONG SHOT: Ttypically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings. These are typically shot now using wide angle cameras.  However due to the sheer distance establishing shots and extreme wide shots can use almost any camera type.

MEDIUM SHOT; is a camera angle shot from a medium distance. Are favored in sequences where dialogues or a small group of people are acting, as they give the viewer a partial view of the background  and also show the subjects' facial expressions in the context of their body language.

WIDE SHOT: Includes a lot of visual information for the audience to 'set the scene'. . The subject takes up the full frame, or at least as much as comfortably possible.

TWO SHOT: Is a type of shot in which the frame encompasses a view of two people (the subjects). The subjects do not have to be next to each other, and there are many common two-shots which have one subject in the foreground and the other subject in the background. It is very useful if the film is about two people.

POINT OF VIEW: is a short film scene that shows what a character (the subject) is looking at (represented through the camera). It is usually established by being positioned between a shot of a character looking at something, and a shot showing the character's reaction (see shot reverse shot). 

JOHANSSON & McCURRY

Erik Johansson is a photographer and retoucher from Sweden based in Pragur, Czech Republic and Sweden. He is working on both personal and commissioned projects with clients all around the world. Erik doesen't capture moments, he captures ideas with the help of his camera and some photoshop he make it look as realistic as possible.


Steve McCurry has been one of the most iconic voices in contemporany photographer for more than thirty years. He was born in Philadelphia. After several years of freelance work, he made his first of what would become many trips to India. Travelling with little more than a bag of clothes and another of film, he made his way across the subcontinent, exploring the country with his camera.


The two photographers are amazingly, but so diferent at the same time. Erik Johansson plays with his imagination and then he make the pictures based on it. Steve McCurry plays with the reality of the things, I mean, he projects what he is seeing but at the same time he tries to make us feel like we are all so luky to have the life we have and there are some people that don't have this luck.

THE SHINING - QÜESTIONS

  1. The film is called The Shining because the boy, Danny, (the principal charater) has a strange gift, he can see things that other people can't and speak with the other people who has the same gift using telepathy, and the writter or the film maker desided to call this gift "The Shining".

  2. Jack is the one who is possesed by the spirit (it's his bad spirit, this spirit has live a lot lifes and for this reason Jack apears in the picture) of the man who make a murder (kills his wife and his two twin daughters) so Jack drives crazy and wants to kill his family too.

   3. When Danny goes to the room 237 a ghost with the body of a woman who killed her self hurt him.

   4. He knows the name of the barman because he was the first person who murdered his family and the bad spirit it was his spirit all the time, for this he appears in the picture.

   5. There's a spirit that when a man goes to the enchanted hotel with his family for guard posses this man and make him kill his family and this is what happend to Jack.

   6. There are two spirits (pobably devil spirits) that there are doing "sex" in the room one of this wears a Chipmunk costiume.

   7. Because all the time that he was writting, he wrotte the same quote and this is insane, he drives crazy. The quote means something like "Carpe Diem".

   8.Tony is the gift that Danny have. Danny says that is a voice that lives inside his mouth and if you want to see it; Tony goes to his stomach, so Tony is a character invented by Danny and it's his finguer.

   9. Well I think it's Jack spirit all the time and for this reason he apears in the picture, because this spirit possesed him years ago, so it's an open opinion.

   10. This woman kills her self in this room and in that bathroom, so she wants to hurt Danny and Jack.

   11. Yeah, I think so, because they two knows what one think about the other or what the other is going to do, so yeah.
 
   12. Because a voice said to Jack that his son has this gift and that a black man has this gift too and they will  hurt him or juts scape of the hotel. Well  I think that every time that Jack's spirits possesed someone he didn't know nothing, it's like this spirits born another time so they have to learn and investigate about the life of this person.

MY HERO

 My Hero

My heroïne is Sonia, she is my horse riding trainer and she is like an older sister to me.
I considerate her my heroïne because when I have any problem I can told her and she will always give me the best solution, she has made a lot of things for me (she was who believes on me when I bought my horse), she has made me improve a lot during a short time and if I'm having a bad day she makes this day better.






 I really love her because we always have good and funny moments but some sad too and I know thta she always will be there for anything I need.

THE ANIMAL IN ME

I'M A BISON

Bison are pragmatic, strong shouldered individuals who excel in the art of compromise. They are resourceful and dedicated to the pursuit of success.

As is typical of a herbivorous personality, the bison is a resourceful, determined individual with a strongly conservative bent. Not one to rock the boat, it avoids drawing attention to it self while it quietly goes about it business.

I think I'm not like a Bison because we haven't got the same character. I mean, this saids that Bisons are individual animals and I'm not I like beeing with people and others things like that. 

MY BIGGEST DREAM

MY BIGGEST DEAM...

One of my biggest deam is win the "Lliga Accegi" jumping with Yango, my horse, at minimum courses of 80 cm. I think I can make this happends with dedication and musculing a lil bit more Yango, so we will try to make it reallity. My trainer said that we can because he is good at jumping and if we go to minimum 4 shows we can clasificate for the final and probably win! We will try it and if we don't win it will be a great experience.
