Composition Techniques

The main four composition techniques are Rule of thirds, Framing, Unusual Angles, and Leading Lines. Rule of thirds is when you have your main subject on One third of your shot to have a more interesting view of your subject. Framing is when you frame your main subject to draw more attention to it and it also blocks off other parts of image with some of the scene. An unusual angle speaks for itself, its basically a shot with a more interesting angle to draw more attention. Leading Lines are when there are lines leading to the main subject. Loren Weiner Arianna White
                                      

  

                                                                             

Three Shot Sequences

In Kapa'a Middle school GT program we learned about sequencing . Sequencing is a visual way of showing an action with three shot types. Each shot type has interesting angles and perspectives. Also each shot type must relate to same thing as the the other two shots so the sequence makes sense.My video shows the action of drinking water, I did this with my partners Loren Weiner Arianna White

Spherical Panoramas

These are my 2 examples of Spherical Panoramas that I made in my GT class. I first learned about what Spherical meant so I used Spherical. hyperlink to help. I used Photoshop on the computer, adobe photoshop, digital cameras, and also cameraw to edit the photos. I took pictures with a 15-20% overlap each photo and then put the photos into a 360 degree circle.

Polar Panoramas

These are my Two finished Polar Panoramas that I created in G.T. First I had to learn about the process of making a Polar Panorama with using Steps to a Polar Panorama. Then I chose a good location to take my pictures with a 10-15% overlap each photo. I went into photoshop and merged all my photos together and resized the merged photos into a square image. The next thing I did was rotate the image 180 degrees and then applied the Polar coordinates.

After creating my Polar Panorama world I learned about the Quick Selection Tool . With a picture of myself I used the quick selection tool to cut out the back round. I refined the edges to and resized the cut out of me so it would fit into my world. I put the layer into my world and then added a shadow to make it look more realistic and interesting. 

Final Photomontages

 These are my two finished photomontages that I created my inspiration of DAVID HOCKNEY. I made them in my GT class and learned how to do it from our teacher Mr. Sanderl. We took multiple photos of something like above you can see I chose a tree and then edited it in photoshop to make our photo look more creative. 

Practice story Refelection

For the past couple of days we've been working on an interview project with our team. We had interview one of our team members abut something, like what out team did was "Lani plays Volleyball". We filmed some B-roll of us playing volleyball, and then record one of us narrating it all. Then we edited it all in  Final Cut Pro. My team included Keegan Kessler and Kuumomi Thompson and I. Keegan Kessler Kuumomi Thompson

       
Our team had some challenges that we faced, we sometimes didn't agree on somethings. This project teaches us how to work as a team which was a little difficult for our team. We also got to learn how to do our project in very little time with all the stress that we had on us to get this project done. With all the commotion going on we all still did a pretty good job on our project.

I think that some things that our team could of worked on better next time is working better as a team. But in the end we got around that corner and our project turned out good. I hope to do another project like this with my team in the future.
