Scenic Viewpoint
A scenic viewpoint—also called an observation point, viewpoint, viewing point, vista point, scenic overlook,These terms are more commonly used in North America. etc.—is an elevated location where people can view scenery (often with binoculars) and photograph it. Scenic viewpoints may be created alongside scenic routes or mountain roads, often as simple turnouts or lay-bys where motorists can pull over onto pavement, gravel, or grass on the right-of-way. Locations Many viewpoints are larger, having parking areas, while some (typically on larger highways) are off the road completely. Viewing points may also be found on hill or mountain tops or on rocky spurs overlooking a valley and reached via a hiking trail. They may be protected by railings to protect the public or be enhanced by a viewing tower designed to elevate visitors above the surrounding terrain or trees in order to offer panoramic views. Overlooks are frequently found in national parks and in the U.S. ...

Camera Angle
The camera angle marks the specific location at which the movie camera or video camera is placed to take a shot. A scene may be shot from several camera angles simultaneously. This will give a different experience and sometimes emotion. The different camera angles will have different effects on the viewer and how they perceive the scene that is shot. There are a few different routes that a camera operator could take to achieve this effect. Angles and their impact Types of angles include the following: * Extreme wide shot * Very wide shot * Wide shot * Medium shot * Two shot * Medium close-up * Close-up * Extreme close-up Where the camera is placed in relation to the subject can affect the way the viewer perceives the subject. Some of these many camera angles are the high-angle shot, low-angle shot, bird's-eye view, and worm's-eye view. A viewpoint is the apparent distance and angle from which the camera views and records the subject. They also include the eye-level sh ...

Perspective (graphical)
Linear or point-projection perspective () is one of two types of graphical projection perspective in the graphic arts; the other is parallel projection. Linear perspective is an approximate representation, generally on a flat surface, of an image as it is seen by the eye. Perspective drawing is useful for representing a three-dimensional scene in a two-dimensional medium, like paper. It is based on the optical fact that for a person an object looks N times (linearly) smaller if it has been moved N times further from the eye than the original distance was. The most characteristic features of linear perspective are that objects appear smaller as their distance from the observer increases, and that they are subject to , meaning that an object's dimensions parallel to the line of sight appear shorter than its dimensions perpendicular to the line of sight. All objects will recede to points in the distance, usually along the horizon line, but also above and below the horiz ...

Vantage Point (film)
''Vantage Point'' is a 2008 American political action thriller film directed by Pete Travis and written by Barry L. Levy. The story focuses on an assassination attempt on the President of the United States in Salamanca, Spain, as seen from the various vantage points of different characters. Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forest Whitaker, William Hurt and Sigourney Weaver star. The film is often compared unfavorably to Akira Kurosawa's '' Rashomon'', which also employed storytelling through multiple perspectives. ''Rashomon'' used the multiple perspectives to question the possibility of truth, in a process called the Rashomon effect; in contrast, ''Vantage Point'' recounts a series of events which are re-enacted from several different perspectives and viewpoints to reveal a truthful account of what happened. ''Vantage Point'' also explores kidnapping, assassination and terrorism. Travis, Pete (Director). (2008). ''Vantage Point'' otion picture United States: Columbia Pictur ...

Vantage Point (Sons Of Zion Album)
''Vantage Point'' is the second studio album released by New Zealand band Sons of Zion. It was released in May 2018, after the band's song "Drift Away" became a hit in New Zealand earlier that year. The album debuted at number 18 in New Zealand and was a sleeper hit, becoming platinum certified in New Zealand two years later. Production By 2015, Sons of Zion's line-up stabilised, after bassist Dylan Stewart left and Caleb Haapu of the band L40 joined. Over the course of 2015 and 2016, the band released several one-off singles, "I'm Ready" (2015), "Fill Me Up" (2015), "Hungover" (2016) and "Now" (2016), after noticing a shift away from album-focused music to individual tracks as streaming became more popular. While the band actively toured globally, members of the band felt that Sons of Zion lacked as clear a direction, which led to a reduced musical output. Recording for ''Vantage Point'' began three years before its release, and it was the band's first album in five years. T ...

Developments In North Korea
Technical drawing, drafting or drawing, is the act and discipline of composing drawings that visually communicate how something functions or is constructed. Technical drawing is essential for communicating ideas in industry and engineering. To make the drawings easier to understand, people use familiar symbols, perspectives, units of measurement, notation systems, visual styles, and page layout. Together, such conventions constitute a visual language and help to ensure that the drawing is unambiguous and relatively easy to understand. Many of the symbols and principles of technical drawing are codified in an international standard called ISO 128. The need for precise communication in the preparation of a functional document distinguishes technical drawing from the expressive drawing of the visual arts. Artistic drawings are subjectively interpreted; their meanings are multiply determined. Technical drawings are understood to have one intended meaning. A draftsman is a person ...
