Academic Preview Assignment

Action and Emotion
I chose this for action and emotion because one it is an amazing action picture. I think it is so incredible how all the sparks are flying and it is a really pleasing photo to me. It all shows the emotion of focus. The girl doing what she's doing, is very focused giving the photo not a sad feeling, but not overjoyed.

The Story
I chose this photograph for the best story because by looking at the picture hard enough you can see that it is some sort of play taking place. You can see all the things going on and even imagine what else is happening, did happen, or is going to happen.

Filling the Frame
I chose this photograph for this topic because there are so many things to look at in this photo and the whole frame is filled. You can focus on the woman smiling, or the bright yellow flowers she's holding, or giving them out, or the guy she's giving them to, everyone around the girl and guy, the giant yellow object in the top right corner.

1. Why did you pick this photo?I chose the photo of the male student writing in blue dry erase marker on a clear surface infant go him what looks like some sort of math problem or equation. I chose it because it drew my eye in and I thought it was interesting.
2. What rules of photography are evident in the photo?
The rules of photography being used could be rule of thirds and maybe even simplicity.

1. Where do you think you could take photos like the ones you look at today?

I think I could take photo's like these in an academic environment and/ or in a classroom.
2. Whose classroom would you like to visit and take photos in?

I would like to take photo's in Ms. Coopers room in the upstairs of A hall in room 224.
3. What will you do, as the photographer, to get amazing photos like you look at today?

I think I will try to fill the frame, but have one focus point and use the rules of photography we learned about in class, or at least try.

Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO

F2.8 F16+ A1. We closely relate aperture to the pupil (in our eye) A2. The smaller aperture will create a larger f-stop, the higher aperture will create a smaller f-stop A3. Aperture affects depth of field. Depth of field is the subject or what's in focus in the photograph. The aperture has a direct affect on the depth of field, the higher aperture number, the more focus the foreground will be in, the lower the aperture number, the more blurred the foreground will be. Low shutter speed High shutter speed Daylight Photo's: a) slow shutter speed because no motion is taking place b)Probably a medium- slow shutter speed because there could be little motion c)Probably a medium- high shutter speed because the stars are moving quickly but in light d)Again, a medium- high shutter speed because they may not be moving as quick as the stars, but are moving somewhat fast and are in daylight e)Around a medium shutter speed because no one is running in and n...

Abandoned theme parks

1) I would want to visit Six Flags, New Orleans, USA because there are six flags everywhere. And to think theres an abandoned one, that's featured on a website for most creepy, not to mention in America. That's pretty cool to me and would be fun to go visit and take pictures. 2) 3) Five unusual places to visit that I think would be fun to go to are abandoned towns, asylum's, school's, buildings, and churches. 4) this is an abandoned mental institution in Bristol. 5) I would want to document this place because I think it would make people feel something. Obviously creeped out or something like that but I bet I could find some really interesting things to photograph in there. 6) I would most likely need to fly somewhere, and I don't think I would need a really high end camera but just like the ones we use in class and maybe a tripod. I would also need to make sure no one owns the property so I would not be trespassing.

Academic Shoot

1. Balance 2. Color wheel page being colored 3. It is clear to me, other people might have a different eye and focus on the girl coloring, or the girl in the upper left corner, or the books stacked in the background. You never know 1. Avoiding merger's 2. Working students 3. Yes it is clear 1. Simplicity 2. Phone loading 3. Again, it is clear to me, but someone could easily look at the girl holding the phone, school supplies or people in the background
