Merger Photo Preview

1. Is there something you see in the photo above that you think could be a problem when you take your photos? Look carefully. I'd have to be careful about shadows and where they would interfere with other pictures, since the shadow of the fourth girl is cut off by the third girl's legs. 2. Where do you think would be a great place to take this type of picture here on the Bowie campus? A good place to take these pictures would be in front of a wall or something else that doesn't move which would then cute blurriness and ghosts in the pictures. like trees or people walking. 3. Can you think of something creative to actually DO in the photo when you take yours? I could have a fight scene where I fight myself and copies of myself look on cheering or trying to stop the fight, Or I could have a line up of different hairstyles on me wit multiple see profiles. 4. Is there something you could wear that would help you when you do this photo? I can just wear a ...

HDR Preview

1. What manipulations to the camera will you need to make to create an HDR image? You need to take several pictures both above and below the correct exposure. 2. What equipment will we use to take this type of image? We will be using a tripod and a DSLR camera 3. What is the reason someone might take an HDR image? So that we can accurately capture the lights and darks in an image, making it similar to what the eye can see. 4. What can we expect to happen with the images once we merge them together, what will we see that we might not have seen with just one photo? We will see the different levels of light and dark, being able to make out things that we wouldn't have been able to with just a singular picture.

Use a hook to capture the audiences attention, make connections, and personal perspective, nut don't over use it.       If you dress provocatively or drink too much you're asking for it, right? This is a justification made by men and women alike to justify the actions and attempts at sexual harassment, assault, and rape. Rape culture, the social concept of rape or sexual assault and harassment, is being normalized and desensitized through the media and pop culture.       We need to start teaching our children the basic respect that they should have for each other as humans. It's to late for us to really change how we think as a society, but what we can recognize our flaws and pass down how we wish we would act to our future generations.     ...

1.)       I read abut the layout of iMovie and its tools and features. The articles are in depth on how to insert, edit, and modify clips, images, and sound effects. I learned about stabilizing footage, controlling the FPS, how to import video, ad many more things. iMovie has a simple, self explanatory layout, and with a little digging and time, the program is easy to master.       iMovie is the default video editing application for Apple, one of the apps included with your macbook or apple product. Not only movies can be created though, as they have a large selection of themed trailer presets, where all you have to do is insert videos or pictures in an already made layout. You can also apply themes to movies, but the default option is no theme. 2.) I already knew about the themed trailers included in iMovie. 3.) I didn't know you could apply themes to movies, as I never needed to use it for my videos. 4.) I'm concerned with deciding on who I want t...

Huntington story

On Wednesday at ten pm, 53 year old Janice Jones was accidentally shot in the leg by a handgun. She was eating dinner in her mobile home in Barstow, California when her gun was knocked over, causing it to discharge.  The circumstances of how the gun went off are what make this a truly bizarre accident. Tombo, Jones's Pomeranian jumped from a chair, knocking over her 9mm handgun, causing it to fall to the floor and discharge upon impact. "The bullet went through Jones's leg and through the side of the vehicle," said Rye. However, the bullet nearly hit the gas tank, which could have turned a bad situation worse. "Jones was transported to Huntington Beach hospital by ambulance and was later transported to Irvine Medical Center," Said Rye.  While Jones was hospitalized, the police found multiple law violations at her home. "It could have done with a little less abuse and a few more of those pork chops," said  California Highway Patrol press l...
