Definition:

Copyright refers to laws that regulate the use of the work of a creator, such as an artist or author. This includes copying, distributing, altering and displaying creative, literary and other types of work. Unless otherwise stated in a contract, the author or creator of a work retains the copyright.

Do I Need a Copyright?

http://www.creativepublic.com/copyright.php

Protecting Your Copyrighted Images

• Be sure to put your copyright notice (© 2008 Your Name Here) in small type on every single photo or illustration you post online. Having a copyright notice on your home page is not enough.
• Make images harder to "borrow" by reducing the image size for screen viewing. Lower the image resolution to 72 dpi and size it to be 400 pixels or smaller on the longest side. Sizing the images smaller makes them less suitable to print, but still provides an adequate screen image for viewing.

FS3006 Week 3

Lesson 3 Production

Framing & Composition: The frame is the picture you see in the viewfinder (or on a monitor). Composition refers to the layout of everything within a picture frame — what the subject is, where it is in the frame, which way it's facing/looking, the background, the foreground, lighting, etc.

Framing is the technique of drawing attention to the subject of your image by blocking other parts of the image with something in the scene.

Image composition:

• Horizontal vs vertical format
• Subject placement (rule of thirds)
• Backgrounds
• Point of view
• Close-ups

Basic shot types:

• Extreme wide shot
• Very wide shot
• Wide shot
• Mid shot
• Medium close up
• Close up
• Extreme close up

Camera angle

The term camera angle means slightly different things to different people but it always refers to the way a shot is composed. Some people use it to include all camera shot types, others use it to specifically mean the angle between the camera and the subject. We will concentrate on the literal interpretation of camera angles, that is, the angle of the camera relative to the subject.

• Eye level
• High angle
• Low angle
• Extreme overhead

Video formats:

• AVI
• WMV
• MPEG
• QuickTime
• RealVideo
• Shockwave
