Photo Composition

This project was a website focused on the important rules of photo composition because photography is becoming more important and used in web design.

Design

To start the layout I used a basic layout format I created a couple months ago that I can use for any project that has all basic html elements.
I made my header with a photo I took in  California of the skyline.
I chose to focus on the rule of thirds, symmetry, point of view, background, depth perception, natural frame, space to move, filling the frame, contrast, avoiding the middle, pop of colors, and breaking the rules because you always need a rule breaker.
To show examples of the rules I took all of the pictures on my site. Most of the pictures I had previously done before the project. My favorite picture I took was the one I used for breaking the rules. 
This is an example of breaking the rules because the subject, my dog, is in the very center and is not following the rule of thirds. It is also my favorite because it's my dog and who doesn't like dogs.

The Web Pages


My home page is an introduction to my site and has a picture of a close up of my flower. The picture is an example of filling the frame. The overall look of my site is supposed to be chill. I chose the pale blue because I like the color blue and it is a color that is simple but chill. I chose to use the same font for my banner and header to give a sense of consistency.

Short Film Strangers

Our group originally chose Courtney's script, but after shooting we realized that the footage was bad and trying to do a party scene would not work. Instead we chose my script, but revised it in order to be able to shoot it as efficiently as possible. My script was originally about a boy and girl who both suffered from social anxiety and together they are able to work on it and overcome it.  The pre-production process was rushed due to our time restraints. Courtney spent a day revising the script to reduce the amount of locations we had to go to. I called a couple coffee shops to see if we could film there, but ended up filming everything at JCCC. I also created shot lists for our shoot day in order to try and give some structure and efficiency. Courtney was our actress and she found Danny for our actor. I was the cinematographer and editor for the film. Originally Grayson was the cinematographer, but was unable to make the shoot.  On a Saturday Courtney, Danny, Wes, a...

The Hidden Premiere

My Role  My role in The Hidden was costume designer. It was difficult to plan all the outfits in advance due to filming dates being moved around so I did not have the ability to plan in advance as much as I would have liked. it was also kind of difficult to come up with a variety of costumes that weren't boring and repetitive. I learned that it was important to communicate with the actors in advance and have good communication with the director so we are on the same page for the vibe of it. I think my work was alright, it didn't make much of an impact because it was everyday clothes. I have used my time 75/100 productively. Sometimes I would work on graphic/photoshop projects in my free time or client work. I watch movies and a variety of shows outside of class. I think I am decent at time management and leadership. I complete most of my projects on time and can lead a project/group when necessary. I could improve on my collaboration with others especially with talking to n...
