Architecture Shoot Preview Assignment
Details
This photo fits the detailed description because it's like zoomed in on the object. You can see the details from up close without dis-focusing from the main object.
Light
This photo fits the lighting description because the light is like traveling around the building and its making different shades and colors of lights.
Patterns
This photo fits the pattern description because the building has repeated patterns like on half of the sides of the building. You can see the repetition from up close and then it kind of starts fading away at the sides.
Angles and Shapes
This photo fits the angles and shapes description because this building (I think that's what is is) has all these curvy, geometric shapes that seem to all stay in one spot even though there's some points sticking out in different places.
Surroundings
This photo fits the surroundings description because there's like some old, boring buildings in the back and then this random, funky-looking building stands out. Even though the dull buildings are surrounding the awesome building, the focus doesn't get distracted from the main objective.

1.
Who: Michael and Robert Meeropol
What: Discovered that the parents were spies
When: July 1953
Where: Lower East Side apartments
Why: Cooperation with Soviet propaganda campaigns
How: F.B.I. agents arrested them
Lead: They were the most famous orphans of the cold war, only 6 and 10 years old in 1953 when their parents were executed at Sing Sing for delivering atomic-bomb secrets to the Soviet Union. Then they were whisked from an unwanted limelight to urban anonymity and eventually to suburban obscurity.
My lead: They were just young boys, when their parents were executed for delivering atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union during the 1950's.
Type of lead: Immediate identification
2.
Who: Stephen Fishler
What: Selling his comic book at an auction
When: February 2009
Where: Comic connect
Why: The comic is one of only 100 made and only one out of 20 that is not restored and untouched, also worth a lot of money.
How: The man found the copy of his comic in his mother's basement and held onto it without telling anyone, waiting for the value to increase.
Lead: After being hidden away for years, a copy of the original "Action Comics No. 1" comic book, featuring Superman and friends, will make a comeback -- to the tune of about $400,000, a comic expert told CNN Thursday.
My lead: Starting Friday, comic book collectors and Superman fans will have the opportunity to bid on a comic classic that is now worth about $400,000 after being hidden away for a long time.

Caption Writing Practice
Akins senior Courtney Jackson is overwhelmed with her team winning the football game. She's there supporting and cheering her friends.
Sophomore Brandon Wasson is aiming for his final, perfect shot. The Akins Eagles had a great game that night.
-This photo has a merger; the guy behind him makes Brandon look as if he has 3 arms. It also has leading lines, which are his arms leading to the basketball.
Creativeness is one of Gabe Maldonado's main personality traits, as shown here with his unique design. He has designed this collage in hopes of winning an award at the art fair.
-There's a merger coming from his forehead, another student's hand. There's also rule of thirds because if you draw the tic-tac-toe box you can fit it in. There's a leading line formed by his arm.
One of these last unidentified species of owl is being carefully examined before being publicly viewed. The owl was found nearby the coast, flying mercilessly in a storm.
-The guy in the background is creating a merger. The portraits in the back create leading lines.

Africa: Black and White
1. This power point didn't really cause a reaction to me. I must say that they were pretty cool shots and the different angles look amazing and are very eye-catchy.
2. My favorite photo would have to be the one where there's two zebras looking back. It looks like a reflection in some way, but they're like overlapping.
3
A. Pentax 67, with short lens
B. Those animals are disappearing because of global warming these animals are disappearing really fast and it’s going to get worse.
C. He wants people to help in any way they can and so the people could see what is happening to Africa and the animals.
D "I’m recording this world as it is now and may never be again."

Interviewing Skills
Topic: School Uniforms
To find out more information about this topic, I would have to interview the students around the school. Some good questions to ask would be asking how they feel about this change and if they're for it or against it.
1.
-Teachers (anyone around school)
-Websites (school websites)
-Students (pretty much everyone)
2.
-How do you feel about uniforms for our school?
-Would you be for it or against it?
-Would it make our school better?
-Do you think it'll give students some sort of 'equality' for everyone?
-What suggestions would you have for an adequate uniform?
-Do you believe it'll make students any better?
-Why or why not?
-Will parents be pleased with this idea?
-Do you think it'll make the school's reputation better?
-How do you think it'll benefit you?
-What is wrong with our school having uniforms?
-What would you do if we had some?
-If we provided them for free, would you still be against it?
-Should teachers also have a uniform?
-What would you say if the rest of the schools in this state had uniforms?
-What other changes would you like to offer if we had to have uniforms? (such as no more phone-take-ups, etc)
-How could we make you change your mind about this?
-What if we let you design the uniforms?
-Will it make any difference?
-About how much money would you be willing to put into uniforms?

Japanese Earthquake
When I saw this picture, the first words to come out of my mouth were, "Oh my God.." It's very tragic and heart-breaking and it's sad to know that you can't really do anything to help these people that are facing something very crucial and catastrophic. The angle from this picture makes the ship/boat look very big and crates like a scary feeling to show how huge it is next to the houses and how big this earthquake was.
Like the lady up here, I also feel sad that I personally can't do anything to help these helpless, homeless, needy people. I think of the like kids in danger that probably have no where to sleep, nothing to eat, maybe sick. The photographer focuses mainly on this lady, sort of creating the cropping rule of photography.
I was speechless when I saw this photograph. I think you would be, too. This photo caught my attention because it shows the true powers of nature and how it shows no pity for anything in its way. This was a city before it was completely erased. The photographer used the viewpoint rule in this shot. Good scenery.

Touching People
1. I think this is a kind of cool and random project. It something unusual, but in some pictures the people like kind of insecure or afraid to get near each other. Like they're smiling, but you can tell that they don't know each other. But its pretty cool besides that.
2. If someone approached me with a camera and asked to participate in a photo shoot, I would probably do it, maybe, if I was dressed up or decent looking. About touching a stranger? Hmm, I guess it also depends. If he/she looks "safe" (like not a serial killer or pedophile) I would most likely do it.
3. I think a cool photoshoot would be that people make funny facial expressions. Like one person does a face and then the other one reacts to it.
4. The photographer didn't really use any of the rules of photography. All of his pictures are taken from a front-view shot. No viewpoint pictures, neither from the side or different angles. They were all the same.

Cool Advertising Idea
I just had to pick this image because I think Paris is beautiful, with the amazing Eiffel Tower in this picture, it caught my attention. I don't actually like the phone shown here, but the rest of the photograph was catchy. I personally have AT&T; but if I didn't, I believe I would switch to it. With these creative advertisements, it like makes AT&T's reputation pretty spontaneous, like it makes customers imagine that the company and the services might be very creative and random. Very eye-catchy.

Happy, Akins, Building
Happy
This picture is taken at an angle that focuses on the main objective and shows how happy this person is.
Akins
The angle taken of this picture is pretty cool because it shows the hallway going down into distance and it also represents the Akins students' work.
Building
This photograph also has an angle of depth, creating view into the distance. This picture shows the Akins main stairs, representing the building and heart of the school.

Magazine cover styles
Cover types:
1. Early Magazine Covers
2. The Post Cover
3. Pictures Married to Type
4. In The Forest of Words
Early magazine covers always had drawings on them. They were usually very simple and they often had kind of a moral theme to them.
In the forest of words, there should be a lot of wording on the cover. Some bold words that are eye-catching and some aren't. Many different colors, fonts, sizes. Lots of points of entry/entry points; there's lots of ways to get you to buy the magazine. The words dominate the impact of the picture. Sometimes, there's too much stuff going on.
In pictures married to type, they compliment each other (the words and the picture). Tells you what's going on in the photo and what you expect to see inside the magazine.Some people may find this boring. Less points of entry mean less buyers. Boring colors, pictures, words. Should be appealing to the eye. The use of color makes a big deal in this.
In the poster cover, it's a really big picture that almost covers the whole thing; very small set of words, that absolutely only have to do with that topic. The pictures tend to be more visually appealing. Can be boring. Hard to know what's going to be inside the magazine. If the picture is not awesome, people are not going to pick up the magazine.

This was the first cover shoot for Vogue by Penn since 1989. The issue contains more photographs of Kidman dressed as a Grecian goddess, an Italian diva and as legendary actress Sarah Bernhardt.

1. Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That is the point.
2. Use a mirror. How to use mirrors is important, too. Take it down from a wall and experiment with it.
3. If you’ve got a remote trigger, that’s usually better and more controllable than trying to use a self-timer.
I liked this picture because they are a cute couple, just looking into each others eyes and they look happy. I like that the photo was taken at where its just focusing on them two.

I chose this photograph because it looked so unique, like the angle from where it's taken from is something you don't usually see in most common pictures. I like the couch-looking-chair because it's red and it looks fancy (:
This picture caught my attention because I like her hair and the position she's taking. I chose it because it seems cool, just showing one eye.
Now, this picture I like because I love high heels. I have some that almost look like this, quite different though. I chose it because of the different angles of the heels; it's really eye-catching.
I like this picture because its in a pretty casual pose, like its not all fancy or photoshoped or anything, but it still looks cute. The couple looks happy and it gave me that "aww" feeling, so I chose it. (:
This picture caught my attention because it reminded me of my little sister. I don't know, but sometimes I like little kids, when they look all cute and innocent like this.
I'm going to try to take pictures of some people I don't know, some that I do. No one in specific. But sometimes random people don't want their picture taken because they don't know you : /
I plan on taking the pictures at different angles, from a viewpoint, directly at the face or a side view. I don't actually have something in mind, it'll just happen. Hope it comes out good!

Welcome Back (:
I liked this picture because it got my attention. All the colors are very eye-catchy and sort of make like an illumination-scene. I can kind of see the rule of balance here, by the way the buildings are all proportioned and scattered over the place.
This photograph has two things that I liked. One side of the room has a bubbly, exotic, pacific view on the wall and floor. But then you can see how it sort of "discolors" away when it gets to the other side of the wall. Then you can see how in the other room, it has nothing to do with this previous room. All the colors are dull and boring.
This picture can sort of make you feel some emotion when you look at it. I get kind of sad to think that I have all these comforts in my life and in other countries they don't or can't have any of these things. This shows that we need to try to help other countries and try to make a difference in 2011.
I don't really have a favorite anything, but one of the songs that I really "digged" was Wiz Khalifa's single 'Black and Yellow'. I loved that song and I had some of Wiz's songs already, but with this song, I started listening to him a lot, all his mix-tapes, everything.
I'd have to say that one of the best movies in 2010 would have to be Toy Story 3. I saw it when it first came out at the movies and I liked it. It was pretty funny and sad at times. Not the movie I was expecting to go see, but I don't regret it.
One of the important news stories back in 2010 was the earthquake disaster in Haiti. I didn't really knew much about it, but from what I heard, it was bad.
Kanye West was one of the most important people in the year of 2010. West hijacked Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video, snatching the microphone out of her hand and declaring that the title should have gone to Beyoncé rather than to Swift. It's said that reactions to the incident were heard everywhere from E! News to the White House, where President Obama dismissed him as a "jackass," earning West an unofficial award for biggest gaffe.
Chris Brown broke down in tears during a Michael Jackson tribute at the BET Awards as he performed a Michael Jackson tribute. The song that provoked the breakdown was "Man in the Mirror." The media coverage was mostly disdainful, with reporters speculating that this was a an act to get sympathy and restart his career.
1. Something that I will probably remember the rest of my life is when I dropped my phone in the water on New Year's Eve. Man, I was devastated. I said to myself "way to start the new year" -_- But then when we got home, I took it all apart and just left it on the table and I tried it the next morning and it worked :)
2. One of my resolutions this year is to try to do even better on all my classes, try harder than usual, since it's the year that determines if I'm going to pass to the next grade.
3. What I look forward to this year is my birthday, because I'm going to be 18 :) and I look forward to this summer to do lots of things we got planned.
