Final Review

Caption Rules:


Elijah gasped, his body freezing in place as he spotted the man behind one of the curtains in the refugee camp, not knowing what to do or say. It was because of the war that Elijah had been placed here without anything but fear and hope to cling onto.



They all had the same thought, as the squad moved forward to seduce the riot, that this wasn't going to be an easy task as smoke filled the crowded street and balloons filled with paint were being thrown at them. The squad were on call for taking care of a small riot that was slowly escalating in the downtown district. 

 Rules of Photography:

1. Rule of thirds - Out of a 3x3 punnett square, where the model/object is placed into one out of these nine squares; usually being the main focal point of the image and not having anything else distract itself from the main object/model.

2. Balancing Elements - Balance the weight of the objects; like... having one object on either side or making sure it appears to be symmetrical on both sides - doesn't leave the viewer wondering what else is beyond the image.

3. Leading Lines - Makes your eyes follow the given path of the photo, the typical one is an S curve, but you can also have straight, diagonal, etc.

4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition) - Catches the viewers attention easily, having a multiple amount of the same shape/object in the photo.

5. Viewpoint - Taking a photo from unusual angels, not just an average front or side profile, usually can be taken from below, above, or etc.

6. Background - Just a simple background that doesn't distract from the model/object you're taking a photo of. You normally don't want anything eye catching or distracting in the background.

7. Create depth - Either the allusion that there is more behind the model/object; landscape is a good example of this rule.

8. Framing - Shows that your object/model is the main focal point; you usually have something framing them from walls, pillars, trees, or etc. around them.

9. Cropping - Makes sure that the viewer knows who/what the main object is.

10. Mergers and avoiding them - Having something interesting sticking out of your object/model.
 Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO:
Aperture - The smaller the Aperture the more blurry the background is and how the subject is more focused on. The larger the aperture the less blurry the ground becomes and subject is still focused.

Shutter Speed - Helps you capture objects moving fast in slow motion.

ISO - Captures noise in the background, the higher the ISO the more noise in the background, the smaller the ISO the less noise captured.

Folder: 
 Click "Journalism Drive" and add in the username and password. (photoj) 
 Manipulating Photos:
Obviously manipulated photos to make false news statements is ethically wrong, not to mention if you're manipulating fashion photos to the point where the model doesn't even look recognizable in real life is false advertising and creates low self-esteem and false hopes for teenagers.  
Three Types of Portraits: 
Environmental - Taking photos of subjects where they live in. 
Self -  Basically taking a photograph of yourself.

Casual - Taking a photo of yourself in a less formal manner, more like yourself, you feel comfortable with doing whatever you want. 
Photographic Terms:
Exposure - Amount of light allowed into the photograph.

Depth of Field - Distance between the nearest and farthest subject in the photograph.

Focal Length - How strongly it converges or diverges light.
