Composition Techniques

Image
There are 14 different types of composition techniques. The main four are rule of thirds, framing unusual angles, and leading lines. Rule of thirds is when a photographer uses imaginary lines and places the points of interest on the lines. So the main subject therefore is off center. Using the rule of thirds adds interest to the shot. Framing is when you use a natural surrounding to frame your shot to make it more interesting. Unusual angles is when you shoot from a different angle like from below and shooting up or above and shooting down. Lastly, leading lines is when you use natural surroundings and have some sort of lines leading to your main subject.

Three Shot Sequences

   Most people use three shot sequencing to help create unique shots that add interest to any type of show. A sequence is a series of 3 camera shots that are usually following the rule of wide, medium, close, or extreme close. Each shot is usually about 10 seconds each. Sequencing also is a great way of showing an action. Sequencing also shows a lot more in a shorter amount of time so you can add more things.

All About Me

Hi everyone Im Audrey Garrison. I was born on January 17, 2000. I am 14 years old and I have a younger brother who is 12 years old. I moved to Kauai at the end of my 6th grade year. My dad is in the Army so I have lived in many different places in the United States. So I was born on Maui and then we moved to Georgia when I was about 2 years old and my baby brother was born, then we moved to the very cold Fairbanks, Alaska. For about a year my mother, brother, and I moved to California with my family while my dad was away then we went back to Alaska. Im happy and sad sometimes when we move because if we didn't move to Alaska I never would have got my dog Roxy, and if we didn't move to Oregon I never would have my my best friends Shania and Joseph. I really like living here on Kauai because i met a lot of great people like my best friends Sheila, Kaylene, Claudia, Nevaeh, and so many more. I love hanging out with them at school and on the weekends. I love reading books, my ...

practice story reflection

My teacher decided to have my class do a practice interview with a group. My group was made up of Kaylene, Sheila, and me. Our interview was called "Audrey Practices Painting". We had two days to film our interview and our b-roll. B-roll is when you film some extra parts that has to do with your interviewee that you can show while your interviewee is talking. On our first day my group had to film our  b-roll. Well, we decided to go to our art teachers classroom to film me painting. It was a good thing our teacher didn't have a class that period. We had to film multiple different shots so the b-roll looked good. For our interview we decided to film yet again in the art room, but in the back room this time. We decided to have art isles in the back round because our interview was all about painting. For our interview shot it had to be rule of thirds.    After we filmed our interview and b-roll we had to transcribe our interview. That means we had to write down word ...

Polar Panoramics

Image
These are my two Polar Panorama examples. First I had to research the process of creating a Polar Panorama, before choosing a good location with an interesting horizon line. Similar to a spherical panorama, I took at least 10 photos moving left to right (all taken vertically) with a 10-15% overlap. After using PhotoMerge plugin in Photoshop and resizing to a square image, the next thing I did was rotate the entire image in a 180 degree turn so it was upside down. Then we applied the  Polar Coordinates filter. Steps to a Polar Panorama Make sure your battery is charged Make sure the horizon clearly distinguishes the sky and ground Take 10 vertical pictures of a horizon that overlap around 15% Edit all your pictures then change  your panorama into a square so you make the height the same size as the width Flip your your image 180 so it`s upside down  On one of my Polar Panoramas I had to add a picture of myself. I could not just add any o...

Spherical Panoramas

Image
These are my two spherical panoramas that I created. First I had to take two different sets of 10 -15 images in a 360 degree rotation with a 10-15% overlap. The images were then edited using Adobe Camera Raw and compiled into a panoramic image using PhotoShop`s PhotoMerge plugin. Next, the rectangular 360 degree panorama was resized to be square and filtered using Polar Coordinates. Lastly, the final spherical panoramas were selected using the elliptical marque and feathered by refining the edge. A black or white background was applied before saving the finished composite image.

Magazine Cover

Image
This is my finished magazine cover that I created in the Fall of 2013 at Kapa`a Middle School. I used digital cameras and Photoshop to create a multi-layered image that describes who I am. We had to first take a picture of ourselves and edit it in Adobe camera raw to make it look how we wanted it. We then used Adobe Photoshop to contour and color it. To start the actual magazine we had to choose a theme and we had to come up with 6 sub-titles. My theme was Fall and it was also a Halloween edition.
