Teen Pregnancy Awarness Video

This video was created to acknowledge teenage girls to stay abstinent and/or protected. My group and I wanted to show teen girls that they should live life before they give life. In the video we prove it's important to have fun with friends and do well in school. Rushing to adult hood leads to depression and consequences.

Posters

The posters i designed are to warn and/or convince teenagers that pregnancy can wait.

Sequencing: The foundation of video storytelling

The article "Sequencing: The foundation of video storytelling" has great advice on shooting a proper video. I've summarized the best pointers below.

- The sequence is the foundation of all video storytelling. Sequences compress time in a video story.

- Look for shots that could be great openers or enders in your video.

- Use a variety of wide, medium and tight shots to give the story more interest.

- Compress a long clip that films everything into a short clip that interests and lets the veiwer picture what will happen next.

- Try to remember to shoot a variety of shots. It’s most important to hold your shots for about 10 seconds each.

- Anticipate the action. Be creative with your shots. Get the camera low or high. Zoom in on something interesting.

- Weight your shots to the tight and super tight end of the shooting spectrum. Tight shots make great transitions between two wide shots or two medium shots.

- Make sure you capture shots you can use to transition from one story segment to another.

Collage

My theme is nature/school. I chose a long cement path with grass peeking through and on the sides of it as my background. I took a separate picture of a car coming down an alley of the school and made it look like it was heading towards me down the path. Then i added a sewer and garabage can on the path. Next to the path i cropped a row of bikes, a football post, a stop sign, a pilon and a tennis ball. Then i put me and Maya in the picture. Last, I turned a peice of a fence on an angle for some 3-D action. I added some flowers and bushes to make it look more wild.

Compositional Elements

Rule of thirds: The rule states that an image should be broken down into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that the important parts of the picture should be placed along these lines or their intersections. Using this creates more energy and interest in the picture. The two first photos are good examples because the focal points of both images are centered in the very middle using the rule of thirds.
Mood: to take the veiwer to the location of the photo to feel like the photographer did when they were taking the picture. They could have the feeling of intense action, danger happiness ect. One of the most common elements you could form into an image would be fog. It allows the veiwer to imagine whats in the backround of the picture and have a feeling of what the experience was like for the photographer. The two bottoms photos are really good examples of mood in photography because they give you the feeling of actually being there. The rain makes you feel cold and the fog makes you feel lost and gloomy.
