__Camera angles:__

 * Birds-eye view** - This shows a scene from directly overhead.


 * Eye-level** - most common, neutral shot. Refers to the subject's position.


 * High angle** - A high angle shows the subject from above, i.e. the camera is angled down towards the subject.


 * Low angle** - This shows the subject from below, giving them the impression of being more powerful or dominant.

__Shot length:__

 * Extreme long shot** - This can be taken from as much as a quarter of a mile away, and is generally used as a scene-setting, establishing shot. It normally shows an exterior, eg. the outside of a building, or a landscape.


 * Long shot** - Shows the image as approximately "life" size ie corresponding to the real distance between the audience and the screen in a cinema. Shows the full body of the person.


 * Medium shot** - Contains a figure from the knees/waist up.


 * Close-up** - This shows very little background, and concentrates on either a face, or a specific detail of mise en scène. Everything else is just a blur in the background. This shot magnifies the object in focus.


 * Extreme close-up** (macro) - As its name suggests, an extreme version of the close up, generally magnifying beyond what the human eye would experience in reality. An extreme close-up of a face, for instance, would show only the mouth or eyes, with no background detail whatsoever.

__Types of lighting:__

 * Side lighting -** Illuminates half of the face


 * Lighting from below -** Highlights the bottom of the face (gives a more mysterious mood)
 * From behind -** Halo effect on hair, face barely visible
 * From above -** highlights the top of the face, drops shadows on the bottom of the face
 * Reflected light -** light being flected onto the subject from alluminum, cardboard, etc.

__Principles of Design:__ Symmetrical: occurs when the weight of a composition is evenly distributed around a central vertical or horizontal axis. Asymmetrical: occurs when the weight of a composition is not evenly distributed around a central vertical or horizontal axis. Regular: A regular rhythm occurs when the intervals between the elements, and often the elements themselves, are similar in size or length. Flowing: A flowing rhythm gives a sense of movement, and is often more organic in nature. Progressive: A progressive rhythm shows a sequence of forms through a progression of steps. Regular Flowing Progressive
 * Balance** - equalizing the visual weight of elements in the image.
 * Rhythm** - created when one or more elements of design are used repeatedly to create a feeling of organized movement.
 * Proportion** - the comparision of dimensions or distribution of forms. It is the relationship between one element and another, or between a whole object and one of its parts.
 * Dominance -** varying degrees of emphasis in design. Determines weight and space of particular objects, often where the eye goes to first when looking at a design.
 * Unity** - the feeling of harmony between all elements in the picture, creating a sense of completeness.
 * Focal point** -

= = =__Photography__= = = This is a cool photo because it captures the bottle being broken at the perfect timing. It focuses the light on the bottle and ax nicely aswell. == I like this photo because of how the sunrise is captured in the background, how the rays of light come through the clouds, the colours, and the silhouette of the camel and the person. I like this picture because of the colours of the sky reflected in the water, giving the water beautiful colour. It's a very dreamlike picture, not something you see every day. The silhouette of the trees are clear against the colour of the water and the sky. I like this photo because of the way the water droplets balance perfectly in the dandelion. In the water droplets you can see another image in itself, what appears to be a lanscape with a sunset in the background. I like this photo because of the high level of contrast between the water and the clouds. The water is a blue-ish green, however, the sky is orange. The clouds are clearly defined and appear close to the ground. What also adds to this photo is the silhouette of the forest on the side and the thinner strip in the center. = = = = = = = = =media type="youtube" key="ajCYQL8ouqw" height="315" width="420" = = = =media type="custom" key="10513246" width="150" height="150" = = = =media type="custom" key="10513528"=
