Composition Scavenger Hunt



I think the most important composition technique is probably rule of thirds, I think it's the most important because you can use it for so many different things and it makes the picture a lot more interesting.  For example, you can use rule of thirds when your taking pictures of scenery, it draws the eye to what you want to be seen.  You can also use Rule of Thirds when you are doing an interview or taking pictures of a person.  The Rule of Thirds is much more interesting than a flat angle, when you are taking pictures of a subject directly in front of the subject(s) against a blank wall.

I think macro is one of the more difficult composition techniques to use because you have to get really close to the subject and make it so it's not blurry. I also think it's hard to find things to film using macro because typically when you are filming people or taking pictures you don't want to get extremely close to them.  Also, when your filming nature sometimes you want more than just a macro shot of a flower you want all the scenery, (mountains, valleys, trees, bushes, etc.)

My teammates for this project were Emma McGinnis and Makena Kahananui, we all worked very hard to finish this project in the short time we had.  We each took turns being the subject, talking about the technique and filming.  When we were editing Emma put all the videos together, one of use did the text lay overs and one of us did the music. Over all the three of us worked really well together and had a good time filming and editing this video.  Because we worked so well together, the next upcoming project will be with the three of us so be prepared to see some awesome work!
