Final Review

1. Pick a couple of photos and write captions for them. There are already captions there, don't copy them. You can make up names and situations if necessary. Post the photo and the caption on your blog. 
Angela Smith and Carlo Santiago are in the Caribbean having a picnic on the beach spending their last day there when a huge hurricane came in. Angela and Carlo were evacuated safely to a shelter before the hurricane could hit them. 

Lindsey, Christina Johnson, and their mom Annie Johnson are sitting on their beautiful house that is now torn apart from a huge tornado. Annie's dog Coco wasn't able to get to a safe shelter and the the girls still haven't found him.  


2. You will need to know all the rules of photography and be able to explain them. Here are the rules again:

1. Rule of thirds When the main subject isn't directly in the middle. Rule of thirds are imaginary lines through the photograph
2. Balancing Elements Balancing Elements is when two things balance each other out in a photograph. 
3. Leading Lines Leading lines is when some sort of line is leading to the main subject. 
4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition) Symmetry is when two subjects are exactly symmetrical in the photograph.
5. Viewpoint Viewpoint is when a photo is taken from birds eye view and you are looking down onto the photo.
6. Background Background is when you have a blank background with nothing in it at all/ All you see is the main subject.
7. Create depth When you can see depth in a picture. When you take a picture from an up angle and you can see more then one subject.
8. Framing When the subject is being framed by any object. Such as a person being framed by a shadow.
9. Cropping When two or more objects or subjects cropping the main subject.
10. Mergers and avoiding them When a picture has something wrong in the picture that takes away the view from the subject.

3. You will need to know and understand Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO.
On your blog retype the words and explain what each means.

Aperture-  How blurry the background will be
Shutter Speed-  Certain speed light will be captured in.
ISO- The light sensitivity.

4. You will need to know and be able to explain the ethics of manipulating photos in photoshop and what is acceptable and what is not acceptable.

Photoshop can only be acceptable if you are taking away little things. Such as, taking out blemishes, stray hairs or maybe a little cut or bruise. Changing the whole picture like size, adding hair or adding length to the subject just takes away he natural beauty of it. 

5. You will need to be able to explain the three types of portraits you read about – Environmental, Self and Casual.

Environmental- When the subject is in their rightful place. (ex. A president in their office, or a cheerleader in her cheer gym)
Self Portrait- A photograph taken by yourself of yourself.
Casual- A photographer taking a photo of someone else.

6. You will need to be able to explain the photographic terms: Exposure, Depth of Field, and Focal Length. Look those words up again.

Exposure- How much light is exposed in a picture.
Depth of Field- distance between the farther and closet objects
Focal Length- The distance from the optical center of any lens.
 
 

7. You will need to know the four types of magazine covers: Early, Poster, Married to Type and Forest of Words and how to tell the difference.
 
Early- The magazines contain a table of contents on the cover and are printed in black and white, unlike the ones we have now.
 
Poster- a photograph cover that doesn't relate to anything inside the magazine yet its created to set a mood.
 
Married to Type-it is a photograph where the subject is mostly in front blocking a little bit of the cover title. They most likely did this to draw attention to the subject and avoid the cover lines.
 
Forest of Words-all of these magazines mostly contained a couple short captions in front or on the side of the subject that are sometimes bigger than the title. In some of these covers there is literally no space on the magazine cover because they are full of the captions.
