Composition Scavenger Hunt




Hey my people! I just recently learned about composition techniques and their meaning. I found out that there are so many different techniques and angles to film with but I personally think that the Rule of Thirds technique (scenery or subject) would be the most significant because it makes the shot look even and balanced. It gives a feeling that there is asymmetry in the shot. I don't know about you guys but whenever something looks uneven or looks messy it bugs me down to the core, just like what I was saying in my comedic monologue (go check that out on one of my previous posts titled "My Humorous Monologue"). Anyways, back to composition techniques- there are so many unique and useful techniques but I personally think Rule of Thirds would be the most useful and the most important. But that's just me! What do you think?

Some of these techniques were easy to film and some were not. The most difficult composition technique to film was probably macro. It was very hard to get close to the subject and have the camera focus on the correct spot. Plus, we energetic, hyper middle schoolers are just constantly moving so it was hard to keep the camera still in general! I'm pretty sure its not the candy... Anyways, I might start using it more because when you finally get the camera to focus, it looks very interesting. You can see tons of little details like the pollen on a bee, or the little ants crawling on a flower. Plus, with the right lighting it'd be a great Instagram picture. I'm just kidding (not really)!

My teammates for this project were two of my closest friends Cara Griffin and Kyllie Belmonte (Kyllie is the one in the screenshot to the right -------->)! In our composition technique video, we all rotated positions. In some shots, Cara and I were the subjects, with Kyllie being the camera person. Other shots, were of Kyllie and i was the camera person. Cara and I did most of the voice overs but Kyllie was good at being quiet while we were doing that. Then, the time came to edit it. Cara managed the cutting, moving, and editing of all the clips. Kyllie and I helped pick and type the labels, chose the music, and the transitions! I think it was pretty fair. It was fun to work with all these incredible people and the video turned out pretty cool. Bye bye for now and I'll see you soon!
