2. What do we feel when we see something?

9. Image Control Image Control Point/Position of View (POV) Point/Position of View (POV) –Where do you place the camera (your feet)? –Where is the camera in relation to the subject?

22. Exploiting Position of View (proximity to subject) Exploiting Composition (orientation of film plane to subject)Composition

23. Exploiting lines – natural convergences in subject Illusion…creating “depth” Composition

24. Capitalizing on “thirds”… Composition Rule of thirdsRule of thirds {click to play video)

25. Composition Storytelling…

26. Image Control Exposure Exposure –Light (natural, flash) –Duration/Speed  film speed (low, normal, high)  Shutter (light) speed (under exposed, normal, over exposed)

27. Light Remember to illuminate faces with flash… Light Source of Light: Natural? Natural? Artificial? Artificial?

28. Exposure: Light Speed of Light Speed of Light Under exposed Under exposed –dark subjects Normal exposure Normal exposure –appears “okay” to the naked eye Over-exposed Over-exposed –Too much light, washed out areas

29. Exposure: Duration Speed of Shutter: Slow shutter Slow shutter –(more light) –heavy action blur of moving objects Normal shutter speed Normal shutter speed –minimal action blur High speed High speed –freeze action

30. Exposure: Duration Shutter Speed Shutter Speed

31. Image Control – Picture # Position of View? (inches? feet? yards? miles?) Position of View? (inches? feet? yards? miles?) Field of View? (normal? wide angle? narrow?) Field of View?

32. When Framing a Shot... Use Design & Composition Theory Create visual tension Create visual tension Balance Balance –Symmetrical (mirrored) –Asymmetrical (counterbalance) –Radial (flowers) Composition Composition –Pyramidal ex. Portraits, renaissance –“L” Shape Things that “pop” outside of shape get noticed. –Rule of thirds Hot Spots Rule of thirdsRule of thirds –Golden Mean Specific Ratio = 1.6 x 1
