Timeline
For this assignment we had make a timeline of photography history. We had basic questions that we had to answer and then we had to find the history of photography within another subject like advertisement for example.My group chose to research the background of cameras and how they advanced over the years. We came up with this awesome idea to make a pinhole camera with the timeline inside of it. We transfered our info from printed paper onto rice paper and made a scroll out of it. We used pencils for the ends of the scroll so we could advance the info. It was cool because we put the history of cameras inside a pinhole camera. Over all I enjoyed this assignment and found it fun.
ANGLES:
This assignment was about interesting angles. My group and I went around the school capturing images with interesting angles. This photo above was shot in front of the grand theatre with brian sitting on the railing. I took a couple of shots from different angles but I found that the the lower angle looked better. The lower angle provided interesting lines with in the photo. It makes your eyes move around the image and there is nothing distracting. In my opinion this photo is succesful. through this assignment i found that i like lower angles as apose to higher angles. In the end this assignment was fun and it made me think about changing angles to make the photo more interesting .
