Composition Scavenger Hunt

My G.T. class has just recently gotten into groups of three to learn, find, and make videos about composition techniques. In order to make the video we were given a list of composition techniques to find around the school and describe them and what they are. There are lots of composition techniques out there, but the most important one, to me, would have to be rule of thirds subject/scenery. I chose this because the rule of thirds technique shows a lot of simplicity, but it's also interesting and eye-catching.

Out of all the composition techniques, I would have to say that contrast in content is the hardest to do. I say this because when filming you would have to take the time to find a place or thing that stands out from the rest. Like finding a different colored fruit from the ones that you have laid out. It's not impossible, it's actually kind of easy, but I'm just saying that it's the hardest one of all the ones that I've been taught. It just takes more work and searching than the others. I can use it more by possibly practicing it during G.T. projects or even during my own time when I'm making videos. I think it's a really great composition technique and should be used more often.

I can't do this project alone with so many techniques so everyone in my class has been divided into groups of three. My teammates are Emma McGinnis and Tessa Jensen. They are both great teammates who are easy to work with. Emma is very determined and creative. She makes sure to work done, but keeps it fun at the same time. Tessa is also really good. She comes up with great ideas and is good at keeping everybody on track when we start getting off topic. While making the video everyone kind of rotated on jobs. I would hold the camera a couple times, then Emma, then Tessa. I would talk on camera, then Emma, then Tessa. Everyone participated and that made it a lot easier to finish and end with a great finished product.
