Lost in the World Questions

1. The general premise of the video is how people are so caught up in their cell phones and their electronics that they aren't paying attention to what is happening right in front of them. Also, everything that they do pay attention to is for recognition on social media and the internet.  2. Yes, the video is effective in conveying the intended message of how everyones is attached by the hip with their phones because in the video, no one pays attention to anything that's going on in the world around them, except for the one guy who doesn't have a phone. Even when the girl jumps off the building, everyone watches through their phones.  3. I feel like the video is a little bit of both, a cautionary tale and an examination of our current social situation. It could be a cautionary tale meaning how if you're not careful with balancing out you in life interactions and time on your phones, then that could hurt you in the future.

Photographic Composition

Image
This image demonstrates texture because you can see the little bumps of the wall and you could almost imagine what it feels like.  This image shows pattern because the rectangles on each side of the smaller squares in the middle repeat and continue on.  This image shows contrast because the duller grey concrete on the left side of the image stands out from the vibrant green grass on the right.  This image shows depth because you can tell the different in position from the bark in the middle and the thinner branches in the background. The branches in the background are blurred and the big trunk in the front is clear and bold. This image shows symmetry because if you folded these rectangles in half you'd get basically the same image.  This image shows balance because there trees on either side of the picture level out the image.

What is Photography Questions

1. Erik poses the question of if his work was actually considered photography. 2. Erik's first real passion was drawing, and then he got into photography. 3. The conception of photography that Erik previously held was that photography was about being in the right place at the right time. 4. This inspired him to create something different. He wanted to create something where the "process starts once you press the trigger." 5. The "common goal" was to maintain a level of realism. 6. Realism was making the photos as realistic and seamless as possible, making sure that the pictures didn't look to choppy and natural. It's making sure that what you're looking at could actually be a photograph. 7. The principles that adhere to creating an image include making sure you get the brightness, the saturation, the desaturation at the right level to have the right amount of depth and making the picture look realistic. 8. It was easier to create a pla...
