Extra Credit.

1. A man was trying to calm down and a guy who was harassing people who passed by. In trying to do this, he was pushed on to the tracks of the subway station.  He struggled to pull himself up and couldn't. The man with the camera tried to take pictures with flash to warn the subway driver but it didn't work.
2. The photographer took the photo in trying to warn the driver of the man on the tracks.
3. I do not think the photographer should have taken the photo, i think he should have spent that time, getting the man out of the tracks.
4. I dont think so, because he cared more about his career than helping a poor man. He should have tried harder to pull him out than take pictures.
5. I agree, because the photo is already taken and there isn't anything else you can do so you might as well use it to talk about the story. 
6. I think to photojournalist, its capturing photos, because they want an image more than they want to help.
7. I think its not okay, because they should capture events as they are, not as they want them to be.
8. no, they should try and help, not just stand back and watch.
9. I think the response of being ashamed is most accurate.

Final Exam Review

Ethan Budd is escaping the terror of the African officials trying to kill him and his family. They have put up a fence around his home so he can't escape.

The wall of innocence is standing between Texas and Mexico, separating the people from killing each other. The wall was made on the Fourth of July in Honor of Trek Lou.

Joel Keelan is jumping  from the Shady Hollow building in Tokyo, Japan. He has suffered with depression since he was 15 years old.

1. Rule of thirds - putting the subject up in one of the corners of the picture

2. Balancing Elements- having the subject in the photo balance out with something else. 

3. Leading Lines- lines in the photo that draw your attention to the subject. 

4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)- helps keep the focus on the subject of the photo. 

5. Viewpoint- keeping the imgae very straight forward. 

6. Background- making the photo have more stuff going on in it. 

7. Create depth making the photo more interesting and not so simple. 

8. Framing- creating a border around the photo. 

9. Cropping -cutting the photo for style choice. 

10. Mergers and avoiding them- not making it look like stuff is coming out of people that looks unatural. 

Aperture- controls the amount of light let in. 

Shutter speed- controls the amount of time it takes to snap the photo

ISO- controls the light exposure let in. 

Photoshop is an okay thing to do except when you go too far. Its not okay to manipulate someones body type in photoshop. its just morally wrongs. it teaches the wrong lessons to girls about there body figure. its okay to have fun and make it look like your under the see but messing with body types for example is going too far.

set #2 At Basic Training- from #9  to #30

When he is in Iraq, i think those are the most powerful images. It shows Just how much he as to go through mentally and physically. It shows us some of the hardest times in his life and the obstacles he had to overcome.
The images work to tell a story in the way that it goes through the events in his life pretty specifically. Because he is Constantly moving in his life and is involved in many different things, the images help capture all the action that would be hard to explain and together pour out emotion to the viewer.

In the photos that Ian is in the main subject, the verbs are written in present tense. the Captions let you know whats going on with Ian. It makes the viewer feel more attached to Ian and make them feel like they are with him. you Feel as if you are going on the journey with him and can understand him more.

Ian jokes with Carl about how when the Colonel bends down, they can see his underwear in Iraq. they thought it was funny how the Colonel wears bright pink boxers with kittens on it.
