Principles of Design

Unity

Overall Unity (defined as when the viewer can"grasp the essence of the 'big picture' without being distracted by the individual elements of design")

Proximity ("objects that are more likely to be perceived as related when they are positioned close together")

Beautiful photography to get inspired by | From up North

this photo shows asymmetrical photography because there is more ups on the left than the right

Continuation

I look around these crowded streets and all I see are similar faces with dimmer expressions

Psychological Closure

Gestalt principle is used here because it is using the law of common fate where we are associating eating (fork and knife) with drinking a coke as well.

Which Microphone to Use?

In what scenario should the following microphones be used? Handheld A handheld microphone is best for performers or news reporters. They can easily handle the microphone, and it can capture their voice accurately, while avoiding picking up background noises. Lavalier The lavalier microphone is ideal for speakers who talk with their hands or hold props while talking, and therefore can not hold a microphone. These also work great for actors who need their microphone hidden. Shotgun This type of microphone is best for filming a movie scene, positioned over people having a conversation. Boundary (or table) mic These microphones are often set on tables in podcasts or sit down style youtube videos. Not only are they incredible effective, but also quite efficient because you can plug them into a laptop USB to easily record audio.

Field of View Variables

Four important variables to consider when composing your field of view are: Camera Location - The point of view (the position of the camera in relation to the subject) is obviously essential to the shot. The physical location needs to be paid careful attention to because it determines what is or isn't in the shot. Camera Angle - the angle of the camera is important because it influences the message of the shot and exaggerates different things in the photograph. Subject Location - this is not always up to the photographer but is just as essential to the shot. The pose and also the landscape around the subject effect the image greatly. Focal Length - this is the lens found on camcorders that gives you latitude to adjust your framing. This helps zooming in and out and to adjust the frame and framing the subject.
