THEORY – PHOTOGRAPHY COMPOSITION II

INTRO

• You will take some time to research different “rules” of photography. Remember, these rules are just ideas. They do not always apply. And in fact, sometimes they are bad ideas. Some even contradict each other. But the more “rules” you know, the more tools you will have when taking photos and when describing your photos.

TASK 0 – GOOGLE SLIDE

Start a new Google Slide doc. Name it PhotographyComposition2.

TASK 1 – BROWSING COMPOSITION RULES SITES

Do a search for Photography Rules. You will find plenty of sites sharing a wide assortment of rules. Browse five or six sites paying particular attention to the first five or so rules on each site.

On your first slide to titled “Key Rules”, list the five (or so) rules that you think are the most important. You only need to include their names (unless you need help remembering what they are).

TASK 2 – USEFUL RULES

You now need to list at least 5 other rules that you think are useful to you. Note that there are some rules that I find I would never use. It is up to you to decide what you like.

For each of these 5 rules, create a slide that includes:

• Rule title
• Rule description (in your own words)
• Image (found on the internet) of the rule in action
• Source(s) of rule information and image

Note: It is easy to find one site and simply use all their rules. But it is much more beneficial to you if you visit multiple sites and pick and choose the rules and explanations/photos that you like best.

TASK 3 – OTHER RULES

On a final slide, simply list other rules that you have come across. You might get only a few extras.

TASK 4 – MAKE IT NICE

Add a title slide. Add a background to your slides. Make sure everything is well organized.
