I can use this in your class in case I want to take a picture where an object is big but the person is small. This did not expand my know...

A. The photo where the soldier was hugging his friends or family had the most power to it because it was an emotional experience for everyone, and who knows, it could've been the last hug they got from the soldier. B. The images work together to tell a story because they are in chronological order, it shows the big things that went on through his journey. C. The captions enhance the photos by giving us background information to help give us a better understanding of what is happening. D. Ian went through the normal high school drama, with girlfriends and parties, but it was time to say goodbye. He took a bus from Atlanta to a military base, where his new life would begin.

You have to give lead space in video composition to not make the viewer uncomfortable, and not make it look like the subject is going to crash into something. 3. You cannot merge anything while filming. 4. You need to be aware of the background. 5. In a composition, you need to be able to pause the clip at any frame and have a clear picture of what is happening in the clip.  Background   Balance   Cropping   Depth   Framing   Leading Lines   Mergers and Avoiding Them   Rule of the Thirds   Symmetry and Patterns  Viewpoint  Aerial shot  Establishing  Extreme Close Up  Close Up  Medium Shot  ...
