Workshop with Matt

In today's lesson, we watched a recorded video filmed by Matt. In this video there are 5 sections:

- Rule of third

- Background

- Camera heights

- Lighting

Rule of Third 

The technique Rule of Third is basically dividing the screen into 9 squares, like what is said in the video,"chopping the screen up into three horizontally and vertically.". The main thing about this is the lines, where the points meet. This helps us to see where we should put our objects and to reduce empty space.

When we place the object on the left or right point, this makes the image look more balanced.

Camera Height 

The height of the camera effect what the audiences see, so if where we shot gives out different messages. If we put the same height as the object then the shot will be more interesting and more details. If we put the camera at the top, then the audiences won't be able to see much things.

Background

If the background is not plain then it can makes the shot looks more exciting. 

Lighting

The lighting helps to give the shot a different feeling. If we use normal house light would be a normal shot, but if we change the light colour or turn of the lights then we will get a different colour shot or a pretty dark shot.

Experiment

Here are some pictures that I take from what I've learnt today.

I picked a random object on my table and tried with rule of third.

I tried to add something to the background.

Then I found a green image on my laptop and I tried with the lighting and a different camera height. 

From here I know that different height gives a totally different image.
