"Final Masquerade"
Tearing me apart with words you wouldn't say,
And suddenly tomorrow's a moment washed away.
'Cause I don't have a reason, and you don't have the time,
But we both keep on waiting for something we won't find.

The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday,
With shadows floating over, the scars begin to fade.
We said it was forever but then it slipped away,
Standing at the end of the final masquerade.

The final masquerade!

All I ever wanted, the secrets that you keep,
All you've ever wanted, the truth I couldn't speak.
'Cause I can't see forgiveness, and you can't see the crime,
And we both keep on waiting for what we left behind.

The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday,
With shadows floating over, the scars begin to fade.
We said it was forever but then it slipped away,
Standing at the end of the final masquerade.

The final masquerade!
The final masquerade!
Standing at the end of the final masquerade!

The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday,
With shadows floating over, the scars begin to fade.
We said it was forever but then it slipped away,
Standing at the end of the final masquerade.

Standing at the end of the final masquerade!
Standing at the end of the final masquerade!
The final masquerade!

From this assignment I have learned a lot about how to properly capture motion. I have also learned the different ways to show motion and put those methods into my photos above. I think this will really help with taking motion pictures in the future.

Motion Planning

Plan:
I think for writing with light it would be cool to do something like outlining someone with light or outline their face. For either panning or blurred, i want to have Ally run or Amanda dance or something like that. Then for zoom i want plant life in the background and someone in the middle or have a cool background like the painting on the courtyard. And for frozen, i want someone to jump off of something.

Lighting Final

Natural Light- Shade

This is my little brother Bennett and he is important in my life because he does a lot of things with me like play soccer or basketball and does other little things like getting my phone charger for me that make me really appreciate him.

Bennett is an outgoing, goofy, and all around happy kid which explains all of the weird faces and his constant smile. He is also a sports junky/ Daredevil and is constantly outside with a soccer ball or basketball or riding his bike so i thought it would be a good idea for him to do some tricks outside with the soccer ball and to climb the tree. Thats also why i took a lot of pictures of him outside not only for the lighting but also because thats where he likes to be most. And even though he is quiet outgoing he still has his little shy and independent side which is shown in the first picture where he is kind of hiding behind the fence posts and in the fourth picture with him on his phone.

This unit has effected my photography a lot and has shown me the importance of good lighting and how an improvement in lighting can make a huge improvement of the photo. It makes me want to take the time to find good lighting before taking a photo instead of just pointing and shooting.

Final Composition Project


Top Photo: Symmetrical Balance
This Photo was a picture of my walk home from the bus stop. Using elements and principles of design help make the photo look more interesting and grab your attention and in this case make you look toward the trees and see the symmetrical balance.

Left Photo: Leading Lines
 This photo was also taken on my walk home into my house. In this photo, using elements and principles of design makes your eyes follow the lines of the walkway up to the front door of my house using leading lines. 

Top Right: Proportion and Scale
This picture was taken at Ski Round Top at the top of Minute Man with my younger brother's friend Joe. In this photo, using elements and principles of design make you focus on Joe with the slope looking smaller in the back using proportion and scale.

Center Right: Unity
This picture was taken at the lockers where I sit with my friends every morning. In this picture, using the elements and principles of design help you see the unity that everyone is sitting down and have the same posture and similar positioning.

Bottom Left: Framing
This photo was taken on our way up to Ski Round Top. In this picture, using the elements and principles of design make you focus on the road and mountain ahead by using framing.


Top Left: Simplicity
This picture was taken on the ski-lift at Ski Round Top. In this picture, using the elements and principles of design show the simplicity of this plain picture of the dark sky and white snow.

Bottom Left: Horizon Line
This picture was taken during english class. In this picture, using the elements and principles of design make your eyes follow across the picture as looking at the horizon of a sunset would. 

Top Right: Asymmetrical Balance
This photo was taken at my bus stop in the morning with my two neighbors. In this photo, using elements and principles of design makes you follow the side walk but notice the difference between the two side of the photo by using asymmetrical balance.

Center Right: Rule of Thirds
This picture was taken getting into the car. In this picture, using the elements and principles of design help you see each part of the picture with rule of thirds. If you split the picture into thirds then you would be able to see each of the intersection points of the photo.

Bottom Right: Movement and Rhythm
This picture was taken driving across the bridge into our neighborhood. In this picture, using the elements and principles of design shows the movement in the picture and takes your eyes across the picture.



The benefits of using elements and principles of design are that they allow the photo to become more interesting and give your eyes a place to go within the picture.
