Composition Scavenger Hunt

I think the most important composition techniques is the unusual angle. It might seem like it isn't that important but unusual angles go a long way. It makes big difference of the quality in the film by making things seem more interesting then they actually are. It makes the shot way more atmospheric and filled with emotion. I think this composition technique is most useful in movie trailers which would make the viewer intrigued and want to watch the movie. Unusual angles in my opinion is the best yet the most simplest composition technique to use.

I think the hardest composition technique to use is macro mostly because of how close the subject is supposed to be to the camera. If you don't have a camera that can manual focus then macro shots are even more especially difficult to correctly take. For auto focus cameras (which is what we used in our composition technique video) whenever something is close to the lens, the subject gets blurry and unfocused. This ruins a macro shot because it needs to be extremely focused for a macro shot to be truly astonishing. A camera that can manual focus is probably the best option if you want to take macro shots.

My teammates are Kalani Young and Lester Garcia and in this project we all switched roles. For the filming part of this project we switched roles a lot. one person would be the camera man the other would be doing the voice-over and someone else will be the subject of the shot. In the editing part of this project we split up all the work. I organized all the clips into the right order and added the music. Kalani put in all the transitions between every composition technique clip and Lester put in all the text layovers for each clip.
