Field of View Variables

Four important variables to consider when composing your field of view are:

  1. 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.
  2. Camera Angle - the angle of the camera is important because it influences the message of the shot and exaggerates different things in the photograph.
  3. 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.  
  4. 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.

Raster images and Vector graphics are the two main methods for displaying graphics.  Raster images are composed of pixels (little tiny squares of color), while Vector graphics are defined using paths (geometrics areas defined by curves and lines).  They have many differences including editing software (raster uses apps such as Adobe Photoshop and vector uses t...
