2. How to Take Portraits
-I believe my photo follows
the rule of thirds because if
you drew the lines, the
eyes would go along that
line. I think.
-Photographers follow the
rule of thirds because
following it makes for a
good photo, obviously.
3. Portrait Tip 2
When taking a
picture, you want
the person to look
as natural as
possible. Don’t
tell them to do
much, let them do
their thing.
Don’t crowd the
person, to much props in
a picture doesn’t make a
good portrait.
4. Portrait Tip 3
When taking the
picture, make sure it
makes the person
look good. Not like
this guy, the right
side of his face looks
weird. lolol
Don’t make the
person wear the
same color as the
background. You can
barely tell he has a
shirt on.
6. Original GIMP Image 1
• To cut out an object in GIMP all you have to do
is click the free select tool. With that all you
gotta do is go around the object, with care.
Don’t get to messy, then copy and paste it.
(Don’t forget to make it a new layer)
7. Original GIMP Image 2
• You basically do what you did in the slide
before, but you scale the head down to the
right size and move it. So you left click the
head and click transform. Then press the
“M” button to move it into place. Cut it out
first using the free select tool and there ya
go, man.
8. Combined GIMP Image
• Really.. I already answered this, Malcolm. All I
did was scale the picture down to the right
size and placed it over Earl’s head. So yeah
man.
9. How to make a Music Video
I’ll say what you want me to say, the first thing I would start to do is the
planning. This means figuring out what I want to do, from who’s in it, to
what we’re doing in the last cut. Then come along the storyboards. This is
the beginning process I think.
10. Step 2
The second step I would take is figuring out the budget I would be able to
spend, and then getting the props. It would make sense to do that second.
11. Step 3
Step 3 for me would be filming, it would take the most
time!
12. Step 4
The final thing I would do is join the illuminati.
Because all the cool people join the
illuminati, dude!
