Task 2B - EvaluationBy Jordan Lyn

Chosen Image & Rejected ImagesI chose image number 8 from the interior section because it was the most clear image that captured my emotion at the right angle. It was also one of the only ones where my eyes were completely white, rolling my eyes back in other images showed a part of my pupils trying to go into the back of my head. The lighting in the room was also just right, there was enough exposure to capture a clear image of my face. I did not need to edit this image which is why is saved it as a Jpeg.

I reject all other photos because my pupils were showing while I was trying to roll my eyes into the back of my head and also it wasn’t at a certain angle, the angle connoted the power within. The exterior images were not of use because they either produced too much lighting or not enough, the sunlight could not be a controlled factor therefore I did not use any of them.

Camera• Cameras come in a range of different forms and all serve different purposes such as the “point

and shoot” camera, this is used for non-professional photographers, mainly for the use of family vacations, small events etc.

• Another type of camera are the professional cameras, people mainly use DSLR’s for the use of professional photography such as photo shoots. These are more expensive than point and shoot cameras because they consist of a range of different settings which allow the photographer to take a range of different images in different ways i.e changing to mode to set the lens to make the brightness dimmer in a light environment.

• Finally there are smartphone cameras which have evolved over the past century, before they used VGA pixels which are simple however today we use up to 15 mega pixels.

Shutter SpeedShutter speed is how quickly the camera processes visual information into a still image. It’s a device in a camera that lets light through, the more light let through, the quicker the image is taken. It is good to use shutter speed when taking images of something moving for example a basket ball game. I did not need to a lot of light for my images as all of my images were still.

ApertureAperture is what measures the amount of light which passes through the shutter, this setting can be changed with the DSLR cameras. I did not use this as I did not need to adjust the shutter speed.

Focus • Focus is a technique used to focus the pixels onto a certain subject in

your frame, when this is used on a camera it re-adjusts the pixels in the framing to make the image more clear i.e on a smartphone, you can tap what part you want to focus the camera on and it will re-adjust the pixels in that particular part of the frame. I used the focus on a dslr which is a small black button you click to do the same function.

FramingFraming is essentially a grid on the screen to divide different parts of your image, it is used to identify where everything is, it is usually measured by 3x3 boxes on a screen. It is a technique that focuses on a particular part of the screen.

Use of mise-en-sceneMy use of mise en scene was to capture the creativity in my shots, my acting was me rolling my eyes backwards which connotes the power I hold in the image. I also posed in a certain way to also show the same thing. My clothing was urban to relate to the context I live in today (21st century), this tells the audience a little about who I am and where I may be from. Mise-en-scene is essential in a photograph because this what a photo is supposed to do – capture everything in a still image.

CompositionComposition is moving something from it’s position, I did not need to do this because there was nothing that would get in the frame to make the image not look the way I want it to be. However I did move myself into more light for better exposure on some of the shots, hence the change in greyness.

LightingAll the lighting in my images were natural, there was no artificial lights involved. Lighting is a big factor in photography, it determines on how you see an image, artificial light makes the image look less natural however can achieve a certain effect for example a scary photograph would only have light on a certain part of the image to make the audience concentrate on that particular part, it can also be used to hide something or create shadows.

Camera SupportCamera support involves equipment such as a tri-pod, it is a stand that holds the camera up by it’s three adjustable legs. I did not use this as my photographs were taken at very low angles and my photographer was able to hold the camera still without having to worry about the angle changing while taking the picture.
