Hi guys it's Hailee with another dorky post! Last week, I did a Composition Scavenger Hunt with my friends Christina and Tierra.

Their is 20 different kinds of composition techniques but, we all only got 10 composition techniques to film depending on what our team number was. In this project we had to make a video on some filming techniques using objects from school. I think the most important composition technique is contrast in content. This is my opinion because it draws the viewers eye to the subject by color, shape, or objects. In my opinion, I think it's a great way of capturing a pop of color in everyday life.
To be honest, I think the most difficult composition technique is forced foreground. Even though I did not film this technique, I saw the videos my classmates made and then I noticed some of them had a hard time filming the object they were holding. Instead of the camera focusing on the object they were holding, the camera was focusing on the person holding that object. Forced foreground is one of the composition techniques I have learned. You can use this technique more by placing the camera as close as you can to the object.

For this project, we would alternate who would film, who would read, and who would be the actor. I was mostly the actor even though I filmed a lot and explained how to use that composition technique. Tierra would mostly film and speak and Christina would sometimes speak. I personally think we could of done better by using pad because some of our clips were cut off. Some shots we can approve on is Rule of Thirds scenery, Leading lines, and Framing.Even though we need to improve some of these techniques, I think this was a great project and was very fun to do. I hope you liked this blog post and make sure you check out Tierra and Christina's blog. Bye!
