Final Exam Review

1. Caption

Matty the Monkey cowers under a police guard after the police man has chased him down the many streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Matty stole a bike from a child, yet no charges are being filed. When investigators asked Matty's trainer why he stole the bike he gave no comments.

Gory, the owl, yawns as he rest in the snowy mountains of the Alps in Europe.  After a long day of hunting for food, he wants to rest. Food is sparse here, so Gory tries to take advantage of daylight and hunt then.

2. Rules of Photography

Rule of Thirds- where you position your subject along lines (2 vertical and 2 horizontal) or where they intersect

Balance- in a photo having you subject off center is interesting, but it can make the picture feel empty, so you fill the empty space with something less important

Leading Lines- lines can be used to enhance a photo, as our eyes naturally follow lines, so the lines will usually draw us to the subject

Viewpoint- the viewpoint has a massive impact,so try to find unusual and interesting ways to shoot your photo

Symmetry and Patters- can be very eye catching, a series of the objects of the subject that seem to be the same and repeating

Background- sometimes a photo can have a busy background so you should find a simple background and compose your shoot there

Creating Depth- having depth in your photo by adding subjects in the middle ground, foreground, and background

Framing- trees, archways, and holes make great natural framing. framing helps to isolate the subject,a more focused image

Cropping- sometimes a photo loses its impact because the subject is too tiny and gets lost, so you eliminate background, noise, and other things that aren't needed

Mergers or Avoiding Mergers- when the background unintentionally or intentionally interacts with the subject of the photo

3. Aperture, ISO, and Shutter Speed

   aperture- this controls the depth of field, the amount of light let into a photo

    ISO- the cameras sensitivity to light 

    shutter speed- how much light and exposure in the picture, how long the shutter stays open

4. Photo ethics/manipulation

 Acceptable-

editing small things like the levels, and making small changes to some things only if the subject approves

Unacceptable- 

making big changes to someones appearance, the way they look, because they don't like it.  Making images incorrect. Adding random objects

5. Portrait Types

Environmental- the main focus in the photo is on the environment the subject is in

Casual- not formal, the main focus is on the subject

Self- a photo taken by the photographer of themselves

6. Photographic Terms

Exposure-  how much light is taken into the camera and photograph

Depth of Field- how much the subject is focused with the background

Focal Length- the space between the lens and its focus

7. Types of Magazines

Early- only has a title and publication date, maybe an illustration

Poster- not a lot of words, one big picture

Married to Type- words work together with the graphics, added cover lines

Forest of Words- lots and lots of words that cover the important/intense photo
