Photo Composition Principles

Image
Rule of Thirds - Imagine that your image is divided into 9 equal segments by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines. The   rule of thirds  says that you should position the most important elements in your scene along these lines, or at the points where they intersect.  Doing so will add balance and interest to your photo. Some cameras even offer an option to superimpose a rule of thirds grid over the LCD screen, making it even easier to use. Framing - The world is full of objects which make perfect natural frames, such as trees, archways and holes. By placing these around the edge of the composition you help to isolate the main subject from the outside world. The result is a more focused image which draws your eye naturally to the main point of interest. Leading Lines - When we look at a photo our eye is naturally drawn along lines. By thinking about how you place these   leading lines   in your composition, you can affect the way we view the image, pulling us into the picture, towa

What is Public Domain and Creative Commons

      The first website that I went on was this one https://www.pond5.com/free. The first thing I seen when I went on the website was a big title named the public domain project explaining what the website was, it says after the title on this website that, it says that you can download thousands of historical media and it also says on it that it is completely free and made available by Pond5. I like this website and how its all set up, how you can just click on certain titles, and it all comes up and it shows you that its free even before you pick it up. The seconds website I went on was thehttps://search.creativecommons.org/ website. The first thing I seen when I went on the website were a bunch of things that you can click on but it's stupid because it wont take you to the actual website, I think if they fixed that it would be used a lot more and would be more handy. I wouldn't think to just go on this website and look for free places to find videos and stuff I would just go

Fair dealing and copyright in Canada

There are eight fair dealing purposes which may not infringe copyright, they are, research, private study, criticism, review, news reporting, education, satire and parody. Copyright is put in place to protect peoples work, but there is ways that you can use work in certain situations without getting into trouble. I think that copyright is important to have because if it wasn't there people could copy anyones work and hand it into teachers as their own.        If a student was doing a News Report, they can copy an entire article for just the porpose of education. The place that the report is being done on must have a password to the sysytem, somewhere not anyone can just access.        If a student is doing research, the work is from a copyright- protected work. The student is able to copy the entire artistest work for the porpose of research. If you are planning on publishing the research though you can not include a picture of the artists work, if you do so it may not be consi

Copyright Decision Tool (Blog Assignment)

      The first thing that I chose was a book and for the propose that the work is being used for as private study, research. When doing private study or research you can only copy ten percent or a full chapter from a book. If you plan on publishing your research, you don't have to include the copy of the sections of the book that you used.       The second situation that I picked was when your dealing with a art piece, like a painting or maybe a picture, or even music, the work is from a copy right protected work. The case that I used was in the case of a commercial, or entertainment or public distribution. You can generally not use the copyright protected work if it is, not for the purpose of research, education, news reporting, etc.. If it is intended to be used for commercial activity, or used to make profit you can not use it. If you wanted to use music for a non-educational purpose you would have to obtain a licence to use it.       For my last situation I picked a Newspa
