Composition Scavenger Hunt



Hey guys!! It's me again and guess what.... we have a new project! COMPOSITION TECHNIQUES! Well I'll continue to write and hopefully you will continue to read. To me I think that all of the composition techniques are very important in their own way, but if I had to choose just one it would probably be Rule of Thirds.  First of all, if you don't know what Rule of thirds is than here ya go because i'm going to explain it for you. Rule of Thirds is basically a grid on your camera and there are three lines intersecting with each other from a horizontal and vertical way. What you do in those lines is, for rule of thirds (subject), you place the subject's eyes in one of the intersecting line. For rule of thirds (scenery) you fill one third of the grid with either sky or land and so the other 2 thirds are filled with the opposing scenery. Basically that's what rule of thirds is and now here's why I think  that this composition technique is the most important one out of all of them. I think that this composition technique would be more useful than any other composition technique because you can use it in multiple ways and for different imagery. For example, Rule of Thirds is usually used when shooting an interview, you place the subject in the rule of thirds. You can also use Rule of Thirds for scenery which really adds interest in the video or image.

During this project there were a lot of difficulties within the composition techniques and I think the most difficult one is high angle. I just think that if you were to shoot something that involved the composition technique, high angle, you'd have to go through the struggle of finding something to stand on or place the camera on so that you're above the subject, but not to high that it's not even high angle anymore, but it's actually a birds eye camera angle. Trying to find a spot to place the camera and the difficulties of operating the camera as it's in that weird position is just too much to handle when you can just ease the struggle and find a different composition technique to use in your video. You can use this technique more in when you're trying to go above and beyond and you're just trying to find that one spectacular shot, but eve though it's a little struggle if you use it correctly it could enhance your video by a lot. In my opinion I just think that high angle would be the most difficult to use, but you could use it more to enhance you video.

My teammates are probably the most incredible teammates you could ever have. We play around a lot with each other, but we also work really well as a team just because we all have different personalities that combine together really well; my teammates are Luscious Lani and Amazing Asha. If I had to describe Lani in three words they would probably be krazy, I used k instead of c because she's that krazy, i'd also use the words adventurous and goofy.  I chose these words because Lani represents all of them she is definitely krazy because she can just go and do something extraordinary like if we're playing D.A.R.E and I give her a really stupid one she'll actually go for it. She's determined because if she has her mind set to something and wants it done than she'll go the extra mile to accomplish her task, but also putting her 100% effort into it. Finally, she's goofy because she cracks me up and I die laughing when i;m with her and that's everyday so I basically laugh everyday. Asha is hilarious, a good friend, and very daring. She can do a lot of stuff if she  is ready to do it and she just makes me laugh. What Lani did in this project is she was the subject in some of the shots and she read some of what the composition techniques were and she also put the clips together in imovie. Asha was the subject in some parts f the video, she read some meanings of the composition techniques, and she adjusted the time and audio levels in imovie. Finally, I was the camera operator and I recorded the subject, I was in like one shot of the video, and I added the text layovers on the composition techniques in imovie.
