1. What are the different types of camera angles? Eye level High level Low level Birds high Slanted

2. List 7 different camera shots. Extreme wide shot Very wide shot Wide shot Extreme close up Extreme Close Up, Mid shot Medium close up Close up

3. What is the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds is a concept in video and film production in which the frame is divided into into nine imaginary sections, as illustrated on the right. This creates reference points which act as guides for framing the image.Points (or lines) of interest should occur at 1/3 or 2/3 of the way up (or across) the frame, rather than in the centre. Like many rules of framing, this is not always necessary (or desirable) but it is one of those rules you should understand well before you break it.In most "people shots", the main line of interest is the line going through the eyes. In this shot, the eyes are placed approximately 1/3 of the way down the frame.Depending on the type of shot, it's not always possible to place the eyes like this.In this shot, the building takes up approximately 1/3 of the frame and the sky takes up the rest. This could be a "weather shot", in which the subject is actually the sky. Involving video and film production which the frame is divided into nine imaginary sections. That creates reference points that guides you for framing image points or lines when interest occurs.

4. Discuss three different types of photography 4. Discuss three different types of photography? What is your favorite type? Nature landscapes, animals, plants Camera phone involving a mobile phone having a built in camera With not the best picture quality   Satelite images of earth in space during its orbit. My favorite type of photography is nature becouse I enjoy life. I like to visualize whats around me and capturing it on camera whether its organisms or weather changes, and etc.

5. What are the six components of the camera? Body- A light tight compartment to house the recording meduim (film or CDD) Lens: A transparent element to focus light rays onto the recording medium. Aperture: A method of controlling how much light reaches the recording medium. Shutter: A method of controlling how long the recording medium is exposed to the incoming light. Viewfinder: A way to see the image that is to be captured. Transport: In film cameras, a method of moving the film and holding it in the correct position.

6. What are the five types of cameras? The viewfinder sees the same image as the main lens. SLRs allow you to change lenses for different purposes. This is a hugely popular type of camera, pretty much the standard for enthusiasts and professionals. The viewfinder is separated from the lens. The main problem with a separate viewfinder is that the image you see may not look like the way its originally looks when recorded. This limitation is overcome in professional cameras by using viewfinders that compensate for the different positions. Viewfinder cameras do have some advantages. Pinhole-camera with no lens SLR (Single Lens Reflex) Viewfinder (or range finder) Twin reflex: The camera has two lenses for photograph and viewfinder. This type of camera has certain advantages in some professional situations. View: The lens and the other with the viewfinder or film work together. This allows for unusual types of composition; for example, distorting the shape of the image by skewing the film plane.

7. Why should you be clear about the subject? Know what your taking a picture of that’s a clearly defined subject. Lets say your photographing a person and you are not interested in what's happening in the background, compose the photo accordingly (i.e. zoom in on them or get closer). Don’t have empty or useless space in the photo. In some cases you may have a good reason for including empty space — the rule is to leave out empty space which serves no purpose. Sometimes the subject is a scene or a landscape. You don't necessarily need a person or object to be the subject — it can be anything at all. The point is to be aware of what it is you are trying to capture and show.

8. Why do you compose the entire frame, not just the subject? If an object is not completely in shot part of it is outside the frame, make sure it will still look okay. Some objects don't look good if you can't see the whole thing, or at least a certain amount of it. It’s important that people in the background are framed — it's best not to cut them off. You may need to adjust the framing to fit everything in the shot or leave it out all together.

9. Why use different camera angles? Ways to add dramatic effect is to use an interesting or unusual camera angle. When the subject is a person, different angles can have a strong influence on how they are showned. A photo looking down at a person can make them look diminished, or perhaps down-to-earth, informal, etc. A photo looking up at someone can make them look powerful or imposing.

10. Why should you strive for balance? Balance of light/dark tones, foreground/background, sharp/soft areas, etc. In a photograph; their could be, a mix of close and distant objects, a mix of light and dark, etc. Poor balance is not usually good, for example, a photo with too much light and no contrast. Experiment and learn how to provide a pleasing balance. Balance of light/shadow as well as technology/nature.

11. Why use lines when composing your composition? Vertical lines emphasise strength, power and height. Diagonal lines have a more dramatic, dynamic effect than vertical and horizontal. Curved lines reflect nature, relaxation, sensuality, etc.
