Post Shoot Reflection

1. It was kind of hard because we had to get pictures of students actually doing there work, and most of the kids were not even working.

2. On some of the pictures i was taking it was not in focus i had to adjust the lens to get it back in focus to take the photo.


3. I don't think i used any rules besides rule of thirds.


4. I would try to get better pictures and not rush, and use more of the rules we learned in class.

      American Soldier slideshow and captions


      i Think this is the most powerful photo  because it looks like the guy in the middle has came back home from iraq and he is greeting his family members.
       
       The sequence of photo has emotion with the action. There is a lot happening in the photo's which makes them more interesting to look at. 

      They work together because it goes in order by different pictures to tell whats going on.

      Marlboro Marine

      A. Luis Sinco used skills in the video by using photography, that connected to what the narrator was saying. I liked how they used different pictures for the subject he was saying. 

      B. The main multimedia effects that were in the video was that it had sad music in the background that made you feel more in to the concept of the video.

      A. The most powerful image was the war photo when he had all the cuts on his face and he was all dirty because it  makes you  kinda feel like what the man went through  during that time period.

      B.  The most powerful sequence was when he rode his bike onto a mountain and was going ride it off the top of the mountain, then he closed his eyes, then everything blacked out.

      C. The audio makes the photos better because some of the music was kind of sad so it made the video better. And it didn't make the video all boring.


      D. The images worked together to tell this story because every time he was saying something specific it would have an image to go along with the narration.

      Contests Preview, Show And Tell

       FALL 2002
      This photo is powerful because, it show the ball handler going up for the layup while the defense is trying to defend his move. The content in the photo is a 5 on 5 basketball game being played and a player is attempting a layup/dunk. The lighting in this photo is pretty good, you cant really tell cause the image is black and white. The composition in this photo.  The exposure in this photo is that there is no blurs it is pretty clear, and you can see everything the photo is displaying.



      I chose this photo because it shows downtown austin texas, after it just got done raining.
      It shows the buildings,sky, & and rainbow clearly.
