extra credit

1. Han was pushed into the track by a passerby and wasn't able to pull himself out. when the photographer came by he tried to use the flash and warn the train and didn't try to help him out. the photographer was able to take the photo because he didn't help out the poor man.
2. the photographer said he took the photo to use the flash in order to stop the train and hopes that the train would see it.
3. no i don't think the photographer should have taken the photo. He should have tried harder to lift the guy out of the train track.
4. The photographer could have done more to help Han. He could have gotten more people to help or tried harder to lift him out. Han died and the photographer just stood there and took a picture.
5. I disagree with their decision to put it on the page because Putting the photo on the front cover makes the situation sound like it was okay to chose a photo over life.
6. to a photojournalist capturing the images of life as it happens is probably more important because thats their job. If they tried to stop all bad situations from happening then there would be no pictures of the terrible stuff because they would be too busy tying to put an end to all the bad things.
7. There are self-portraits where the photographer is in the photo him/herself. but in photojournalism the  photographer is trying to capture life as is and not inter fear.
8. No i think if a situation like this happens where its a life or death situation then they should help first and then maybe try to photograph it. I think this would have been a much more powerful image if the photographer got someone else to lift Han out and then shot the saving of his life.
9. I still think the photographer should have tried harder to get the guy out and shouldn't have got the photo at all.

review for final

Jesse Golding twirls in her dress for her cousin's wedding in their hotel room in Alaska this morning before the wedding. The wedding was delayed because of today's blizzard, the coldest in Alaska's recorded history.

1. Rule of thirds- when the subject is placed in the third of the page

2. Balancing Elements- when the subject is balanced out by the other objects on the page

3. Leading Lines- when lines in the photo lead the viewer's eye to the subject

4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)- when things in the photo are repeated 

5. Viewpoint- when the view point is changed rather than at eye level

6. Background- when the background is simple and doesn't distract from the subject 

7. Create depth- when objects overlap and you can see layers creating depth

8. Framing- when the photo is framed by objects drawing your eye to the subject

9. Cropping- when the photo is zoomed in and doesn't show much background

10. Mergers and avoiding them- paying attention to the background and colors so that the person interfered with 

Aperture- pupil. changes the size of the opening 

Shutter Speed- changes the speed of the opening and how long it states open. like blinking 

ISO- makes the photo more grainy. more noise in the photo. bigger numbers let faster shutter speeds

ethics

Its okay to change the colors in levels or crop the photo as long as the meaning and reality of the photo doesn't change. Its not okay to add, change, combine or take away the stuff in the actual photo. this manipulates the viewers idea of what really happened.

environmental- A photo that shows someone interacting with their environment

self - a portrait that is taken by the photographer of the photographer

casual - A portrait of someone acting casual. usually not looking at the camera

exposure- amount of light that reaches the film/sensor. effected by aperture, shutter speed and the amount of light
depth of field -  distance between the farthest objects in the photo and what appears to be in focus 
focal length- how far the camera can zoom in with its lens


magazine covers
early- simple like a book cover, black and white
poster- writing was separate from photo
married to type- words overlapped photo but didn't inter fear with subject
forest of words- words overlapped subject and tried to get your attention

magazine cover

no matter what you put on the cover, keep the six functions of covers in mind:
1. Familiar recognition from issue to issue (that’s the brand)

2. Emotionally irresistible (that’s the image’s appeal)

3. Arousing curiosity (that’s to pull the casual glancer in)

4. Intellectually stimulating, interesting (that’s to promise benefits)

5. Efficient, fast, easy to scan (that’s showing off the service)

6. Worth the investment of money and time (that’s the “What’s in it for me?”)

my favorite cover

Winner

Sports Illustrated, April 22, BOSTON

Photographer: John Tlumacki
"At approximately 3:10 on the afternoon of April 15, 2013, the editors of Sports Illustrated returned from their Monday meeting to rumors of a terrorist act near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. With fewer than four hours until Si's weekly deadline, producing a definitive news account of what happened was impossible. Was there, however, an image that captured the afternoon's chaos, its tragedy, in addition to a city's capacity for resilience and goodness in the face of such terror? Yes, there was, dozens of images, in fact. By 4:30 p.m., half an hour ahead of the magazine's usual cover deadline, (Read More)

The fallen runner and the police men with their guns drawn show the suspense and tension of the moment. The smokey background and show that the bomb just went off and the chaos of the moment. The photo shows movement of the officers as they rush to find who set the bomb. Also it shows the shocked marathon runner in the center of the tragedy. The viewer is left with the same sense of chaos that was present during the time. The way the photographer was able to present the feelings and atmosphere in a single photo is amazing. I also like how the policemen are in front of the magazine brand. this gives the photo a sense of depth like the people are coming off the page at you grabbing your attention. The composition of the photo gives the photo a cool and unique angle of what is happening.

magazines part 2

1. early magazine covers

The early magazine covers were simple, black and white paper covers with black and white drawings. they look kind of like simple book cover with just a title. The magazines are more decorative than to foreshadow what is in the magazine. in 1844 the pictures start to interact a little with the drawings. in the late 1800 the magazines started to incorporate designs and more interaction with the drawings.

the poster cover

pictures that need no words. there were drawings in color that depicted a certain mood or season. Most didn't have anything to do with the inside of the magazine at all. they were looked to be posters with different fonts and color. mainly artwork and paintings were on the covers. very artsy. The covers had cover lines and were done by famous artists. some were abstract and some were very realistic. the first photographs also appeared on the covers.

Pictures married to type

these covers were very aesthetic and very artistic. cover lines were common in some and some were very symbolistic. the design of the drawing mixed with the words and over lapped a little. In some the letters are part of the photo. some magazines tried to incorporate the idea of nature settings and had depth and movement. the color and depth of the cover was meant to pull you in. lots of beauty magazines used this method and they became more busy with words and colors.

In the forest of words

these covers were photos advertising every thing in the magazines. the text overlapped the subject allot an distracted form the actual photo. lots of colors were used to draw in the viewer and lots of things going on. these covers were very busy with lots of texts and fonts and different colors.
