Photo Composition Principles

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, towards the subject, or on a journey "through" the scene. There are many different types of line - straight, diagonal, curvy, zigzag, radial etc - and each can be used to enhance our photo's composition.

 Symmetry and Patterns-We are surrounded by symmetry and patterns, both natural and man-made. They can make for very eye-catching compositions, particularly in situations where they are not expected. Another great way to use them is to break the symmetry or pattern in some way, introducing tension and a focal point to the scene.

Explanation of sound effects to be created and plan of action

The four sounds that I think I am going to be making is, foot steps, something falling, a car revving, and a door shutting. I picked these sounds because I thought that it would be kinda easy to create these sounds and they were also something I thought would be cool to make sound effects for. How I plan on doing the foot steps is, i'm going to do it inside just so the wind and cars driving by don't effect how my sound comes out. I'll probably do these at school just because I think it would be easier but it could be done anywhere. I seen in the videos that we watched that even the things falling are pre recorded and edited into the films, I thought that was cool and I thought it would be hard to make the sound perfectly fit the object falling in the film, so I thought I would give it a try. I also plan on doing these inside just to again make sure nothing from outside effects how my sound turns out. The third sound I wanted to do was a car revving, I picked this one becaus

Web Design Principles

A few websites I enjoyed were,  Design of the World   I really liked the lay out of this website and I enjoy how it functions. I think that the look of it is very neat and tidy. I enjoy the different pops of color that I see when I scroll through it. I think that when I design my website I might try and recreate the lay out that it has or try and use the same kinds of colors and or just try and take the qualities I liked the most and out it into my own website. Another website that I  kind of enjoyed was, Inspiration Grid , I liked how this website was also laid out, I liked how it showed you what kind of material was going to be on the website right once you click on it. I don't know if I'll put much of these elements into my own website because I think that it is similar to the old one but I did like it. The last website i'm going to talk about is  Deviant art  I really liked what I seen when I first clicked on this website. I liked how I instantly seen art, it isn&
