Robert Frank

This is a picture of a graduation by Robert Frank. I like the photo but I don't really like what the picture portrays. It seems to me that the man on the bench is bored and unhappy. Graduation is like one of the most important times in a person's life and I just wish this photo showed more happiness and success. But then again maybe this guy didn't graduate himself or something so he's depressed. Or maybe he's just simply waiting. Who knows but even the faces of the graduates aren't happy and excited so I think theres more to this picture then what is shown.

Documentary of S-Dubb

So for our documentary of wonderful S-Dubb this what can be replaced for the following things:


1] the street
Streets can be replaced with hallways, obviously.

2] a busy intersection
This can be replaced with the dome hallways, especially by the gym doors because a lot of people get hit with the doors just like accidents happen in intersections!

3] uptown
Uptown can be represented by the science and technology wing because they are never busy at all. People aren't ever hanging around there or walk by unless their locker is around there somewhere.

4] downtown
This can definately be the dome, the English wing and the Social Studies wing. These hallways are always busy especially during class change. Downtown could also be the lunch room.

5] rush hour
This could be early in the morning before the first bell, in between each class, lunch, and after the last bell when everybody is in the halls talking and whatever.

Portraits


This is an example of short lighting. The face is turned slightly to the right and the face is lit up so the shadows are to the left of the face.

















This is rembrandt lighting. The key to getting this kind of portrait is to keep positioning the light until you see the triangle of light under the left eye.












This is butterfly lighting. The head is facing straight the the shadows are under the eyes, nose, and chin.




















Last but not least this is broad lighting. The face is turned to the left so you can see the ear and such. Light is positioned so the shadows are to the left of the face.
