Journal 2

Photo of Bedroom- My space defines me as a messy person. I never make my bed. I still sleep with my first teddy bear and my kitty likes to hangout in there with me. I'm too lazy to sit at my desk to use my computer so I use it on my bed or the couch. I leave my drawers hanging open even though my mom thinks it's so kitty can rub against them. I have hairbands all over my dresser because I have to match the color to what I'm wearing that day and some of them are too stretched out for my hair some days. On my night stand is a Mickey lamp and about 3 books. Two of them I'm reading and one of them is a word search book. I'm a very indecisive person. I also need to do the laundry. I hate doing the laundry.
 Photo of me- I love to dance. My bedroom is too small.... Actually my whole apartment is too small,  but the living room is bigger. Even though I've lived in Florida since June I'm still extremely pale. I don't go out in the sun a lot because I just burn up. I'm actually not a natural redhead, but sometimes it's hard to tell because I always wear my hair up in a ponytail and I've been told it goes great with my complexion. I usually wear a camisole because I'm not a fan of clothes bunching up under my armpits. Fuzzies, eww!!

How I Met Your Mother "Twin Beds" Episode

  • Golden Mean- When the gang shows up at Don's apartment Robin is letting everyone in but this action is off to the side to show Don in the foreground.
  • Rule of Thirds- When the gang is at the McLaren's Pub the booth is divided. One side of the booth is in one third the other side is in another and the table is in the middle.
  • Lookspace-When Ted and Barney are talking in the apartment they are sitting across the room from each other, when Ted moves his head forward to make a point the camera moves with him to give him more lookspace.
  • Leadroom- At the beginning of the episode a full couch is shown when Robin is only on one side implying she will scoot over for Don to sit down.
  • Headroom- Whenever anyone is shown on screen their eyes are 1/3 from the top of the screen whether it's one person or a few people.
Sabrina (1954)

Since this is an older movie in black and white the quality isn't really supposed to be that good, but with the restoration it is actually very clear. Some of the images seem cropped and it seems like they are cramped and there should be more of a wide shot. But in some scenes I don't remember Humphrey Bogart's face being that wide. Or is that a factor of throat cancer??


Static Composition Pictures
All the pictures are pleasing. They have vertical  and horizontal lines. They are calming and tranquil.





Dynamic Composition Pictures
The pictures are hectic. The pictures are taken from an angle instead of straight on.
