Today in J198 we learned about the quality of shots, how to use different modes of light and also how to employ different uses of distance. In the video I edited today I used several shots outdoors. In all my shots I usd either a close-up shot of the shoulders and up, a medium shot of the waist and up, and one long shot of full body. As far as lighting goes, for a shot or two I had my subject facing the sun which made them much brighter with no shadows. In some cases, I had the sun off to the side which created awkward shadows on their face and body. I also had my subjects in the shade of buildings which I found to be the best lighting because there were no shadows at all and they weren't uncomfortably forced to stare into the sun. Although I tried to utilize the concept of "the rule of thirds" I found that in certain shots my subjects inched towards the center of the shot, or my angle wasn't always correct. For my indoor shots, the rule of thirds seemed to work the best and my lighting was also better than any outdoor light I may have used.
