Picture Techniques

Today, we watched videos about the way we should take pictures. The first video we watched was called "The Rule of Thirds. It showed that when your taking pictures of scenery, you should make sure the important part of the picture is where the lines cross on the 3-by-3 grid instead of having the main object in the middle of the screen. This is a very simple technique that can make your picture a lot better and I think It is something you should always be using.The second video we watched was called "Fill the Frame". This technique  is used so the pictures are more detailed so you can see whats going on even though your not there. A lot of people make the mistake of taking the picture to far away making it harder to see the details. For example; if the picture is taken far away, you cant see the expression on the persons face as much as if you were closer, you would see all the emotions the person was going through. The next video we watched was "Framing". This technique is used to see your surroundings. A lot of people use this technique when they're taking pictures for memories so when you look back years later, you will be able to identify where you were quicker. It is also good when your going to give the picture to someone else so they will see where you go. This is a very helpful technique. The last video we watched was "Point of View". This helps emphasize the picture by making it look smaller or bigger than it is. This is used a lot in movies when they want the downplay the persons appearance.  It is also used to make the person look bigger and stronger than everyone else. All these techniques are very helpful to make a great picture.
