Photography: Shots, Rules and Angles

After learning about various types of photography, me and my classmates, armed with our cameras, ventured off to capture the wilderness of our school in view of our new knowledge. We made groups of three. I was grouped with classmates, Minahil Tanvir and Ayesha Shahid. All of us took turns photographing various objects and practicing an array of shots and implementing a variety of rules. Satisfied with the results we compiled them in three categories: 




This experience has not only shown us how to take brilliant pictures but also developed in us a sense of camaraderie. By being constructively critical of all the pictures taken, regardless of who took them, we were able to compile and present work which we are proud of. Teamwork makes the dream work!

I thought it would be better to introduce a little more uniformity and so I made the first three columns equal in size. Naturally, the next step was to adjust all the elements on the content page accordingly. I did this with the help of the transformation tool (Ctrl T). I felt my content page could be improved with a splash of colour so I used the rectangle tool to make a long red rectangle in accordance with the magazine's colour scheme, the size of the right most column. I dragged this layer under all the others. I removed the ellipses from the heading of the content page and turned all the textual elements white so they would stand out against the red background.

Key Media Concepts "What we learn with pleasure, we never forget." Today's class was an exciting mix of future prospects and facts. We learned about key media concepts through a very interesting mnemonic 'MIGRAIN', which will perhaps later act as a Freudian slip!  What are key media concepts you may ask. They're the basic components used by media creators to communicate to their audience and perfectly project their thoughts within their art or more technically known as their media product.  M   edia forms and language I     nstitutions G  enre R   epresentation A  udience I   deaology N  arrative Media forms and language, to put it simply, are the way of doing things when it comes to the makings of an media product, print or otherwise.
