Photography is the process, activity and art of creating still of moving imags.
Some examples of genres of photography are;
Aerial

Light always travels in a straight line.
The shutter is a device that allows light to pass for a determined amount of time.
An aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels, meaured in F stops.
The lens of the camera catches the light from the subject and brings it to a focus on the film or detector.
Exposure control - The size of the aperture and the brightness of the scene controlls the amount of light that enters the camera during a period of time.
What you need to make your own pinhole camera:
A light proof container!
black paint
tin foil
tape
pin
photographic paper.
The rules we have to follow for health and safety in the studio are;
no eating or drinking.
no running or fooling around
no coats or bags on the floor
dry hands before using electrics.
beware of cables on the floor
handel flash heads with care
don't look directly into the flash head
be careful with using the paper background system
handel all equipment with care.
The rules we have to follow in the Dark room are;
No eating or drinking
no running or fooling around
dry hands before using electrics
no coats or backs on the floor
use tongs when handeling paper
don't mix the wet and dry side of the dark room!

Radio Jingles evaluation
Radio production evaluation.
This week we done radio production, I really enjoyed this week as radio and music is what I'm most interested in doing. I had used garage band before but this week I learnt how to use logic pro, which I had never used before, at first I found it confusing to use but the more jingles and idents we made the easier and more fun it became. The first thing we had to do to get used to the software was make a 5 seconds ident for SNC live, my favourite part of doing this task was to decent on what sound effects to use in the background, I struggled with editing the vocals but after a few attempts it became easier and I now feel more confident with editing voices for example, changing the pitch or bass.
After making a few idents, we were then given the task of making a 20 - 30 seconds long promo for are our own radio show. Unfortunately my computer wasn't letting me log in so I worked with Laura, which actually worked very well as we had similar idea's and balanced out the work. I really enjoyed making the promo, I loved deciding what music to use as the bed and making the jingles inbetween. Making the radio promo was my favourite part of the week, as the promo had to be 20 - 30 seconds it meant we had more to edit which I really enjoy. After we made our promo's we had a little play around making our own music, we tried two techniques, one was using the keyboard and making our own sounds and the other was using loops to make a sequence, I preferred using the loops as there was a huge variety of sounds, I love making music like this and really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to when we start the music production tasks.
This week has definitely been my favourite week so far, I would love to do this week again and can't wait to do radio production again. The only thing that would have made this week better is if I could have logged into my own account and made my own work, but this has been sorted now and i do feel Laura and I worked well together.

8 shot journey evaluation
Evaluation
Before I started shooting my 8 shot journey, I had to put together a storyboard showing all 8 shots I will be taking in journey, I also had to include lots of notes, so I knew exactly what was happening in the shot and where abouts I'd be shooting it, Some of the notes i used were the location of the shot, size of shot, the end and start of the shot and also a little brief of what the subject will be doing in the shot. The storyboard shows the whole completed journey, which made it alot easier to know where abouts to edit when I came to that stage. I made sure my storyboard contained a variety of different shots, so that the video doesn't get boring to watch, for example I used a few close ups, one over the shoulder shot and a long shot. The shots vary a lot, the reason I made the shots vary are so that it can make the subject more powerful, for example I have a long shot of Laura sitting at the table, which cuts into a close up of her face pulling a confused look, By going into a close up it makes it more obvious what the viewer should be taking in. I had to follow a few rules when doing my storyboard, for example the 180 line and continuity of action. I followed both rules correctly, the most difficult to follow was making sure to keep continuity of action, I made sure Laura was walking the correct way and entering in the correct side of shot at all times. On each shot I drew I had to draw an arrow stating movement and what way the action is taking place.
Before we started filming we had to label and stripe our tapes. We labled our tapes so we didn't loose them, or if we did loose them, then hopefully they would come back to us. When we eventually started filming our shots, we had to make sure we had all the correct equipment and that it was working correctly. One of the most important parts of equipment we used, other than the camera itself, is the tripod. The benefits of using a tripod are that it makes the shot alot more stable, for example if you hold the camera with your hands than the shot could be shaky. Also with a tripod its easy to adjust the height and angle of the camera. At the begining and end of each take I took, I made sure i left 5 second handels, So that when it came to editing I would have space to edit and cut each shot down gradually. I recorded more than 1 take on quiet a few of my shots as various things went wrong, for example somebody would walk through the shot, or the framing was wrong. When filming I fortunately didn't overcome many problems, the biggest problem was people walking through the shot, but I just waited for the area to be clear before shooting.
When preparing for editing we had to log all our shots into a logging sheet. The information a logging sheet should include is the shot and take, for example shot 1 - take 1, Also they need to include the time of the begining of the shot and end, such as 00:04:00 - 00:09:00, the shot size, if there's any movement in the shot, the location or description of shot, comments saying whether the shot is ok or not and finally the EDL, which is the order of your shots. My logging sheet includes all of this information except shot movement as our camera had to be static. The timecode is the numbers on the top of your camera screen, it should start 00:00:00:00, the first column is hours, second column is minutes, third column is seconds and fourth is frames. The logging sheet definatly helped me when editing, as I knew exactly where to cut the shots.
Finally we edited our 8 shot journey together. We used Final Cut Pro to edit our shots, Final Cut Pro is a professional editing software. Before we could start editing, we had to log and batch capture all our footage before put the shots in place and editing, but doing this is mean the footage will be saved onto the computer as a digital file. I knew what footage needed capturing and what didn't by looking at my logging sheet, By looking at the sheet I could see what footage i was planning to use, I could also see exactly where I need to 'trim' my shots. When I started trimming I had to make sure I had cropped the shot before placing it into the timeline, I had to edit it in the viewer. Overall my 7 edits work and do complete a sequence, but if I was to do this execrise again, I would change my storyline to something more interesting and also use less Long shots and more other shots, such as point of view shots, to make it more interesting.
