One thing i see is that the girls shadow is cut off in the fourth from the left. She is also just standing still, with very little creativity.

One place i would like to shoot is by a blank wall, in case i move the camera a little, there wont be much to fix. Maybe in the fine arts hall, they have some blank walls.

I could make a pyramid or i could do something in the air, which would be very difficult to time but it would look very cool.

When i take these pictures, i could wear something that would tuck into my shirt if i were to do the jumping idea, i could also wear a plain shirt so the letters wouldnt get mesed up

1. One place i can go to prepare myself for the location is to look at the weather and sde if it is good shooting weather when i want to go. I can also go to the website to learn about where to take the pictures.
2. One app i can download to help me take better pictures is Photographer's Ephemeris.
3. When you zoom or use a wide lense, to fill the frame with the distant subjects you need a long focal point. The background and foregfround will look very close together if you dont.
4.   Lightroom 6 is another options that helps you regain the highlight and shadow detail you lose in HDR processing.
5. In case of bad weather, you should take extra clothes, a waterproof bag, and microfiber towels to dry off the camera.
6. Pre scouting will help you have a perfect location, you will already know where you want to shoot and what you want to shoot.
7. The subject is more important than the composition. It is what the picture is about, the composition is also very important but nature doesnt always follow it. If you only stick to composition, your picture will be very boring.
8. One simple thing you can do is focus mainly on the subject and then add in details, but still have the main subject be the focus of the picture.
9. Black and white is used a lot because it adds depth and helps the focus. It is comonly used when taking pictures of clouds as well. It is a twist on normal photos.
10. You could shoot at locations you have already been to to use knowledge you gained from previous trips. You will save time by not having to scout the area, you will already know where to go and when to go.

HDR preview

For the camera, we will need to adjust the brightness for each picture to -2,-1,0,1,2.

For taking these pictures, we will need a camera and a tripod.

HDR images are taken to show contrast between the light and dark points of the picture. But also shows great detail and shows the changes of what it is like to be there.

When we merge images together, we will see a lot of lights and darks mashed together and see lots of detail which provides a sort of “moody” effect. It is dark and mysterious, but also light and and brings a positive effect on the picture.

*Improvisation encouraged!

NICHOLAS (Elijah)

NARRATOR (Ethan)

JOHNNY (Reagan)

TONYA (Haley)

STACY (Erin)

THE SCENE STARTS AT AN OPENING SHOT OF A TABLE. EVERYONE IS GATHERED AROUND THE TABLE ENJOYING THEIR LUNCH. NICHOLAS IS IN THE CENTER OF THE TABLE EATING SOUP.

NARRATOR

Here we have NICHOLAS enjoying some home made soup.

He takes a sip.

NICHOLAS

WHO IS THAT?

NARRATOR

He stops. He looks around.

NICHOLAS (to JOHNNY)

Do you hear that?

JOHNNY

Hear what?

NICHOLAS

That voice!

JOHNNY

I don’t hear any voice.

NARRATOR

Poor NICHOLAS is confused. As he is the only one that can hear me.

TONYA

There’s a lot of people talking in the lunch room.

(NICHOLAS’ Face becomes worried)

NARRATOR

He becomes wary of my presence!

NICHOLAS (to STACY)

Ok surely you can hear this

STACY

Are you okay?

TONYA

What’s going on with you?

NICHOLAS

Nothing! Can’t you hear that voice?

NARRATOR

Alas he has finally given into my ploy to corrupt his mind and infatuate the desire to be alone from the rest. He is alone. The rest of his mental state is holding on by a slight thread. His brain is but a grain of sand washed up on the shore by a sea of lava that is me. Attacking the one and only thing that keeps him sane. His intellect.

(Scene cuts to lunch with loud noises in background, NICHOLAS is freaking out while the others around him are eating lunch and enjoying their food like normal.)

(Scene cuts back to the NARRATOR talking to NICHOLAS)

NARRATOR

The main goal is to eliminate and terminate his remaining mind. I WILL CONQUER AND DESTROY EVERY LAST BIT OF HIM UNTIL HE IS NOTHING BUT MUSH.

NICHOLAS

I don’t feel so good.

(NICHOLAS passes out on the table, scene cuts to normal lunch with loud noises and such.)

JOHNNY (to passed out NICHOLAS)

Hey are you gonna eat that pizza?

(Silence)

JOHNNY

(He reaches to grab the slice of pizza and eat it)

Guess not.

(He eats the pizza slice)

TANYA (to STACY and JOHNNY)

Hey do you you guys want to go get some water?

STACY

Sure!

JOHNNY

I’m down.

(They grab their backpacks and get up and leave.)

(NICHOLAS is still there with his head on the table. The scene cuts the NICHOLAS waking up in a mysterious area. No one is around.)

NICHOLAS

Where am I?

NARRATOR (In physical form)

And so he awakes from his slumber. 12 Thousand years later in another time, another dimension. All his friends and loved ones dead, they are far long gone. Just a blank memory, a memory from the past. Or at least what’s left of the past. Now he spends eternity alone, with nothing but his thoughts. And a voice to keep him company.

NICHOLAS

Yeah I think I’ll just go back to sleep.

Hard news.

STORY ONE
According to California Highway Patrol, Janice Jones, a 53 year old woman, lives in California with her dog, Tombo. Officer Tammy Rye said that Janice’s dog knocked a 9mm gun off of a seat, which ended up shooting Janice in the leg. This incident occurred around 10 p.m. on Wednesday night, while she was eating pork chops, in her motorhome. Although she got shot, Jones could be considered very lucky. “It could have been worse,” Rye said. “The bullet hit two inches from the gas tank.” Later an ambulance transported her to Huntington Beach Hospital where after that she was transported to Irvine Medical Center. The hospital treated her injuries and they gave no further information about Ms. Jones. While she was being treated, Tombo, the pomeranian was cared for by the Huntington Beach Animal Control officers. Janet Ngo, animal control officer, said that Tombo was a nit malnourished and had cigarette burns on his forehead, which brought up the concern of animal abuse and she indicated that the office would think about pressing animal abuse charges against Janice. “It could have done with a little less abuse and a few more of those pork chops,” Ngo said. Jones wasn’t just in trouble for animal abuse but she was later found with an expired plate and the county’s district attorney’s office was thinking about charging her for the accident or not, as Jones didn't even have a permit for the gun.



STORY TWO
Yesterday an earthquake struck the area by San Francisco bay, around 8:12 am PDT. Within a matter of four minutes, twelve policemen, 21 firefighters, and five American Red Cross personnel arrived to the scene to aid the victims. The earthquake specifically took place around the Hayward fault, which runs under the Hayward Hills. The names of the peopole who unfortunatly died in the earthquake are doing their best to reach out to the victim´s families. .One building housing McHenry's Auto Supply at 2342 Plum street collapsed while taking the lives of two people, while injuring 6 others. Out of those six people, three were hurt seriously enough to be brought to Hayward General Hospital. Mike Beamer, a Hayward resident lives across the street and was eating breakfast when he felt a rolling motion. ''I dove under the table just as I heard an explosion outside and a chunk of cement flew through my kitchen window. That’s when the screaming start across the street.” He also told us that he ¨Felt a rolling motion that lasted about thirty seconds¨ Beamer says. He then goes on to talk about the big jolt he experienced and what he did when he felt it. “I was eating my breakfast when the room started rolling. I dove under the table just as I heard an explosion outside and a chunk of cement flew through my kitchen window. That’s when the screaming start across the street.” Beamer tells us. The firefighters soon stabilized the building that collapsed so they could search the building and cap a gas line,that leaked when the earthquake hit. The earthquake was a 6.4 magnitude, according to the Ritcher scale. Penny Gertz is a scientist from a geological survey in menlo park that considered this quake a "strong one". The earthquake was said to be apart of the Hayward Fault, which runs under the hills of Hayward.
