Final Exam study guide

Final Review

1.you double click on the server drive. then go to my documents and open up jstudents server T, then on the folder photojournalism, later to your class period and then you look for your name.
2. We would go to akins photoj blog spot to update new blogs about photography what we think and go over on what we do.
3. to make a pinhole camera would need to use a can of oatmeal and pour all of it out. later you would glue a black paper to the inside of it without showing any part of the brown from the inside, you would also need to glue one to the bottom of it. on the top of the can your also gonna glue a a black circle to it, so when you you take the picture there wont be any light.but then you would have to make a littlesmall hole for the light to get the picture,but  we would have to put a lap over it to let the light in and then dont let it in.
4. first we would get a paper in which the picture would be transferred and the shiny part of it would be facing the hole where once we open the flap the light will go through but we don't want it to catch a lot of light so it dependson how long you want it to get.

5a. Rule of thirds: Try to 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.
5b. Balancing Elements: Placing your main subject off-centre, as with the rule of thirds, balance the 'weight' of your subject by including another object of lesser importance to fill the space.
5c. Leading lines: There are many different types of line - straight, diagonal, curvy, zigzag, radial etc - and each can be used to enhance our photo's composition.
5d. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition): They can make for very eye-catching compositions, particularly in situations where they are not and expect break the symmetry or pattern in some way, introducing tension and a focal point to the scene.
5e.Viewpoint: massive impact on the composition of our photo, and as a result it can greatly affect the message that the shot conveys. Rather than just shooting from eye level, consider photographing from high above, down at ground level, from the side, from the back, from a long way away, from very close up, and so on.
 5f. Background/simplicity: look around for a plain and unobtrusive background and compose your shot so that it doesn't distract or detract from the subject.

5g. Depth: create depth in a photo by including objects in the foreground, middle ground and background. Another useful composition technique is overlapping, where you deliberately partially obscure one object with another.

Abandoned Theme Parks

Theme Parks

1. From all the theme parks i would have to say that i wanna visit the six flags in new Orleans. i like how the theme is jazz land, which i would love to be back in that time and get good pictures from all the night light and how people would get so into the theme and also they would dress as it, to fit in. i like how there able to pull everything together and make it seem like its real. especially how the got the buildings to look like its the real new Orleans, i would love to take pictures of the buildings and getting different point of views.


  • old cities
  • abandoned places
  • small towns
  • old cafes from the 50s
  • old school town or people


5. i would like to start a documentary about the old cafes and what was the main thing that brought so many people together during this time, and how during this time they used a lot of colors, especially the bright pastel colors which caught everyone's eyes. the cars are a whole different kind of shapes that seem to look okay when you use all these different colors. the style is what i love the most i like how everyone was so well dressed up and the girls never looked dirty nor the guys and they actually seemed to be good guys and gentlemen's. i would go back in time and take as many pictures to capture this time period which i love and what made it change so quick and is no longer like this.

6. i think that to take this pictures are gonna be a little to difficult to do it. mostly because all of the old school stuff are taken down and been replaced newer stuff, but most ly the old school stuff stay in place when its in small towns, which most are. another is to get the people to dress and get the colors which nowadays everything is so different and everything is modern. this would be a very difficult thing to do and find the right place.
