In this lesson we leanrt that to take a still picture we need to use a still camera. When taking a good picture when using a still camera, you have to think about hotspots, zoom, light, focus and angle. To make the hotspots in your photo you have to use the rule of thirds. This is where a imaginary grid helps show the chronological order of the eyesight when looking at the photo. Lighting is used to create mood, a softer lighting can be used to make someone look more beautiful. Harder lighting on someones face makes them look harsher and meaner, can be used to make someone look not very nice (perhaps the bad guy). Focus is used to the main object of the photo in focus so that it draws the viewers eyeline to the subject of the photograph. Angle can be used in many ways, one is to show who has the dominant power, this is done using a low angle, making the other seem more superior. This can be done to make a guy evil. However it can be used to show a character as heroic, again using low angle. In reverse a high angle frame can make someone either week/victim or the baddie.
The picture demonstrates the rule of thirds.
