Rule of Thirds
I think this camera technique is important, because if you place the object on the points, you will get a more pleasing composition. I never knew why you could use those lines on a camera, however I now know that they help you decide where to place an object when taking its picture. Another thing I learned was how different a picture can look, just by pointing the camera a different way, and placing objects at different points on the screen. What confused me in this video was why it is preferred to place an object where the lines meet, how does those points make the picture a nicer picture. I'd like to know more about how to know where to point and how to angle cameras in a certain way so that the picture has a nicer look to it.
Fill the Frame
I think this camera technique is important because when you take a picture of a small object, there tends to be a lot of space left, which can be distracting, however when taking the picture closer to the object, it leaves less space, allowing people to focus on the object and not the left over space. Something I learned, was that a very common mistake people make when taking pictures, is taking a picture from too far away. Another thing I learned was that the closer you get to the picture, the clearer the tiny details get. What confuses me is what affect can zooming in and out of the picture can have when taking a picture from different distances. I'd like to know more about how to decide how far away from or close to the object you should get.
Framing
I think this camera technique is important because it adds more detail. and helps the main focus of the picture stand out. One thing that I learned was that there doesnt have to be full frames on a picture, there can just be "partial frames". However, what confused me was how to know when should you use a partial frame. Another thing I learned was that you can use ANYTHING as a frame, like nature, people, hands, etc. I'd like to know more about how to frame, and how to pick frames for certain pictures,
Point of View
I think this camera technique is important because a picture could look horrible from one angle, but great from a different angle. I learned how different something can look just by angling the camera differently. I also learned that there are many different ways to angle the camera, which leaves you many different forms of a picture, of the same object. The part I liked best was that you the girl changed the things around a little bit, and took the picture at a different angle and it looked so different. I would like to know more about how to angle, and how to know what the right angle is.
Level Horizon
I think this technique is important, because if the camera is not level, your photo can be crooked. You can have the perfect picture...except its just a little sideways! I learned that there is a "function" button on some cameras, and it can help you level your photo. I also learned that keeping your photos level and straight can be very important. I'd like to know more about how to keep the camera level tot take nicer pictures. their ya go mr carter
