A shot is a series of frames that runs for an uninterrupted amount of time. Think of a movie as a steak. The shots of the movie by themselves is raw steak and the way you express movement, emotion, and ideas through angles, transitions, and cuts are the things that makes the steak cooked and the spices. Did you know that the term shot derived from the crank machine that were around at the time. Cameras had to crank to record, similar to a machine gun shoots so the term shot caught on. Anyway, there are mainly two different things that can classify a shot. The first is camera placement or angle which is basically where the camera is in relation to the subject of the shot. The second is field size, which is how much of the subject and surrounding area is visible in the shot. Overall, a good balance of different shots and using the correct shot for the mood will help your movie express emotion, movement, and ideas. If you are trying to show motion from a biker riding his motorcycle, you have to make sure you have a shot far away enough to show the bike while keeping the biker in focus. You also have to make sure that the angle is such that you can see the environment moving around him.

Creating the right mood through video and audio is essential to producing a great film. Imagine you're in the sky and you see a man wearing an all black jumpsuit jump out of the plane and deploy his parachute. But something's wrong... There is a romantic song playing. This is a GREAT example of terrible mood setting. Setting the correct audio is just as important as how quick your cuts are in your film. The viewer of the movie must feel the emotions shown on the screen and the easiest way to do that is through sound. Another way the director of a film can set a mood is to change the distance from the camera and the camera movement. If the camera is very far away from a classroom of people, then the director wants you to focus on the whole classroom, but if the camera is zoomed in to Mr. Bourgeois, then he is the subject of the shot. Camera movement is also a very crucial step to setting a mood. If a camera is sitting on a tripod panning the camera to follow Mr. B's walk across the classroom, it seems pretty normal but if the camera is shaking and moving from side to side, you know that something is up. Horror movies exploit camera movement very often. So, a more fitting sound for the airplane scene would be loud music with more drums or dramatic orchestra music.

The Dodge tool works similar to a brush but instead of placing a specified color, it lightens the colors that it is used on. On the other hand, the burn tool is used to darken the colors it is used on. These tools lighten or darken the whole radius of the brush and can alter many colors at once as long as they are in the radius. Dodging and burning as it's called actually doesn't originate from Photoshop. Dodging and burning is based on a traditional dark room technique that many photographers used on print photography. The photographers would hide the photo from light ("dodge" the light) or intentionally expose it to light to leave a dark spot ("burn" the image). With this traditional method you could carefully regulate exposure to each part of the photograph. Proper use of this technique is what separated the amateurs from the professionals.
The RGB color model is an additive color model in which red, green, and blue are added together to create a whole spectrum of colors. RGB color schemes are most commonly used on digital screens. Digital cameras also use it to take pictures. Mixing two different primary colors will create cyan, magenta, or yellow. These are the secondary colors of the RGB model. Cyan, magenta, and yellow are the primary colors of the subtractive model. Mixing red, green, and blue together will make white. Mixing cyan, magenta, and yellow will create black. What can seem counterintuitive is that in the additive model, red and green give you yellow, but in the subtractive model, green is a combination of yellow and cyan. Additive color is the way our eyes perceive light. A mixture of red and green is vastly different than yellow but the human eye doesn't detect the difference. Another illusion that our eyes give us happens to us on a daily basis. If you get close enough to a television screen, you can see red, green, and blue sub-pixels. When we back up to a normal distance, it looks normal. When we watch TV, we are actually just looking at red, blue, and green sub-pixels.

In total, you will have 4 focal points on the top left, bottom left, top right, and bottom right. Then you align the image with the focal points on the canvas. With this, you can place the subject on the guidelines and place the horizon on the top or bottom focal points. This allows the viewers eyes to move smoothly around the image. This rule is called the rule of thirds because you divide the piece into thirds horizontally, and vertically. This rule is one of the most important rules in photography as it is the basis for a well balanced and interesting shot. Professional photographers and experienced photographers can or should be able to visualize these lines and focal points as they are taking their shot. This is one of the key rules to know when becoming a photographer. However, the Rule of Thirds is not actually a rule. You can still take very good looking shots without using the Rule of Thirds. If you want to break the Rule of Thirds, you have to understand how it works first so you can break it more effectively. In conclusion:
