Composition: Composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements. It requires the placement of a photograph’s subject, background and other elements to be carefully arranged.  Composition is the key artistic skill of a photographer, creating meaning for the viewer. Focal points: One key composition rule is to emphasise focal points – particularly the subject. This is through the arrangement of elements to draw attention to a specific area(s) of the image.  Aspect ratio: the size of the image itself Rule of thirds: using a 3 by 3 grid to place the subject of the photo to create meaning and relate to other elements of the photo. Focal points: changing the camera lens's focus distance to a moving subject's distance from the focal plane Framing: drawing focus to the subject in the photo by blocking other parts of the image with something in the scene. Pull focus Golden triangle: when a diagonal line is drawn and objects of the image are framed accordingly to create...

Exposure: the amount of light picked up by the camera's sensor. It's determined by three settings (shutter speed, aperture and ISO). Shutter speed: How long the camera's sensor is exposed to light. Expressed as a fraction of a second e.g. 1/100. Aperture: The aperture is a small set of blades in the lens that controls how much light will enter the camera. Aperture sizes are measured by f-stop like f-22 means that the aperture hole is quite small, and a low f-stop like f/3.5 means that the aperture is wide open. ISO: the ISO controls the exposure by using software in the camera to make it extra sensitive to light. It is the most significant setting for exposure. It also effects the graininess of the image, the higher the ISO setting.  Depth of field: The depth of field (DOF) is the front-to-back zone of a photograph in which the image is razor-sharp. DOF is determined by three factors – aperture size, distance from the lens, and the focal length of the lens. There are t...

what is the purpose of: lamp/ modelling lamp helps maintain consistency, if time of day changes then this maintains lighting. used to light up the subject of your photo and therefore produce a better-quality image.  This is cheap but it often produces heat which might be uncomfortable for the subject.  consistency in colour is important as there is different coloured bulbs which must remain the same for the shoot. flash meter umbrella reflector one light set up two light set up soft box 3 light set up key light: the primary source of light, main light fill light: fills in any shadows backlight: helps with sharpness and dimensions of image tripod: stabilise the camera monopod: basically a selfie stick flashgun: external flash used to improve lighting batteries: powers camera

What are the duties of a subeditor? What skills must a subeditor have? Why are subeditors, vital journalists? A sub-editor will look at a specific article whereas the editor will look at the overall newspaper as a whole to check the flow etc. Proof reading- check spelling, grammar, sentence and paragraph structure Sense and style- ensure mode of address and language code is in keeping with paper, as well as ensuring enough context is present. Trimming article if necassary- either for quantity or quality reasons. Editing quotes and readers' comments - shortening and formatting where necassary Writing headlines- active voice, awareness of tense, some of 5ws, snappy Writing stand first- first few lines of an article, usually in bold, elaborates on headline. In addition, on your final piece of coursework, you will need to consider: checking pictures and captions- accuracy and suitability legal and regulatory compliance- IPSO, libel, media law meeting the brief

What do you know about your phone camera... iPhone 12 The phone has 3 cameras, 2 at the back and one front-facing camera. The back-facing camera at the top is used for a wide-angle image and allows more to be included within the frame. The bottom camera is for a closer shot and doesn't include as much in the frame.  As technology advances there is more available on a mobile device. MP - MegaPixels, means 1 million pixels. A pixel is a dot which forms an image, the higher number of MP, the better the resolution. Flash - the light which allows you to illuminate the subject Standard lens - the lens the camera comes with, which can often be changed depending on the requirements of the shoot. Zoom - Optical is a true zoom which gives best quality Digital is done inside the camera, cropping and magnifying an image as you would in editing. Also details magnification amount (e.g. 5x optical zoom)- simply how many times the camera is able to magnify the image. Sensors - simply the device w...

Famous photographers Steve McCurry- uses lots of bold colour, focus on people Dorothea Lange- documentary style, black and white images, thought provoking Robert Capa- war style photos implied by the props  Annie Leibovitz- experimental photography David Bailey- portrait style, famous people primarily  Henri Cartier-Bresson- serialism style, black and white, something real and making it abstract Henri Cartier- Bresson: Henri Cartier- Bresson used an abstract style for photographs, the images are often regular settings seen in an abstract way. For example an image depicts a scene of a woman walking up outdoor stairs as birds flutter away but the frame and position of the objects within the scene make it appear intentionally aesthetic and abstract to viewers. The purpose of his work was to satisfy and provoke thoughts in the viewers. Henri was born in 1908 but his work was most popular around the 1930's. The most well known image taken by Henri Cartier Bresson was an image of a ...
