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.

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.

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.

How to use GIMP

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)

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 yago, man.

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.

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.

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.

Step 3

Step 3 for me would be filming, it would take the most time!

Step 4

The final thing I would do is join the illuminati. Because all the cool people join the illuminati, dude!
