Glossary

Lenses: 

• Zoom lens- a lens whereby the user can change the focal length
• Standard lens- a lens with a focal length of 50mm is deemed 'normal' this type of lens gives a view similar to that of the naked eye, as this lens doesn't magnify or reduce the image. 
• Prime lens- this focal length is fixed, therefore the user cannot change this
• Telephoto lens- a narrow field of view occurs, whilst magnifying the image as this lens obtains a larger focal length in comparison to a standard lens. 

Technological terms:

• Wide angle-  a short focal length creates this angle, giving a wide field of view also. 
• Macro- a close up image of an object, which is also of high quality. 
• Focal length- the distance between the centre of the lens and the subject/object.
• Field of view- this is what can be seen

Analysis:

• Denotation- the explicit message of the image.
• Connotation- the implied message of the image.
• Stadium- the overall sense of the image, this may include lighting or the overall aesthetic. 
• Punctum- this is the one thing in the overall photograph which makes the image different, this could be a portrait with a spider in the centre of the individual's face.
