Shutter photos

When looking at shutter speeds you can have different kinds that you can control the speed you can make it faster or slower. Slow shutter speeds are good to use if you want to capture movement and have blurs as well. If you want freeze frames then it is better to use the fast shutter speed but if you want light to come in them you should not have the shutter speed so fast because it can go so fast that it wont get any light in, so shutter speeds can control the amount of light coming in as well. And you have to have the right amount of time so that you don’t have the photos under exposed or over exposed. The picture that I have taken shows running where I pit the time of the shutter speed on 1/500 seconds and when I was taking pictures of walking I would use 1/250 seconds. 

First indesign project

The skills that i have learned consist of how to insert text. You can do this by going to the text tool bar and once you have done this you should expand it to the size that you want. And then you can fill the text with colour and put things on it like the stroke. You can insert pictures in to indesign creating a box to put it in and then you have to select it with the black arrow and with the black arrow you can change the size of the box and to put the text in you go to file and select place and find the image that you want. To move the image and change the size of the image you have to use the white arrow. To put in text you should do the same thing.
when doing things like this you should always save the original picture.

I had to put in some columns and boxes to put my images in. When i did that i had to decide where i wanted to put the image and what kind of size that i wanted it to be. When you are changing the size of the actual image you have to click on the middle circle, were it will high light a brown box you use the corner to zoom in on your image or zoom out. You also decided were you want the image to be angled. once you have done all of this, you can then move the whole image where ever you want it to go near the outer box you will see a highlighted blue box around the image and this, will change were the image is moved on the page 'center,middle'

Composition Photos

 For this picture I was practicing how to do tilt 

down this gives the effect that the person is weak and does not have a lot of power it could mean they are the less significant character.

  This picture shows me practicing how to use tilt up by doing this you are making the objects of the picture look more dominant it shows that they are the powerful one and have control. When we took this picture we were looking at eye lines and with this picture you can see it is in the high thirds showing that the character is powerful and is important.

This picture we were practicing how to use line shots that is where a line focuses on where you are supposed to look this picture works if you follow the line of the grass you then get directed to the two characters.

Some of the skills that I have gained from being in this media class are some camera skills I have learned how to focus a camera this is where you turn the front of the camera the smallest ring so that the camera can become focused on the persons face you do this is your camera is on manual. I have also learned how to zoom on the camera that I was using you turn it anticlockwise so that you can zoom and you turn it clockwise so that you can zoom out. I have also learned how to stand when I am holding the camera and this is called the T-stance where you put your feet in a triangle position so you have more balance and can maneuver better. When I was taking the pictures I also learned about some lighting that the light had to be at the left side of us so that it would be a better picture.

When it came to Photoshop I have learned a lot of new skills that I can use for next time I learned things like that I should always keep the original photo that I taken and use a copy for my Photoshop in case something goes wrong. In Photoshop I learned to make your picture larger without messing with the quality and I learned how to do this by pressing command plus T and then you hit enter.  To enlarge it you have to hold down the shift key while dragging the Connors out. I also learned how to put rulers in so that they act as your margins, to get rulers you press command and R so that the rulers will appear and you drag them where you want them.

  When it came to text I learned where the FX button was and how I can put different effect on text I learned how to put shadow on and a bevel I did these things to sometimes emphasize words to show the importance of them and I would also use FX to make the text look better so it wasn’t dull and boring. I had to a barcode on my front cover, so I had to go to the internet and save an image of one that I later on added to my front cover I had to use command T to make it smaller and move it to the Connor of my front cover. For the color scheme of the name of my cover I used a dark red colour that was outlined with black to make it bold and purple is more of a female colour so its attracts them and purple can be connoted as sophisticated. 

Looking at my front cover there is something that I would like to improve like making some of the headlines stand out more look more appealing I also would have added more colour to it to draw in the audience and to brighten up there opinion of the magazine because the one I have made looks to dull. I would have also made the text bigger and use a different font for each headline and use colors that match what the text is saying for example you would use red if you were talking about love.

My front cover also has some strength in it as well where that I actually put alliteration or that I had a question to get the audience thinking about their lives and wanting to read more. I was able to also put some FX on some of the headlines I put in that showed it was important and something that the audience would like to read
