I am reading Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts. The conflict in this book is that Novalee Nation who is 17 and  is 7 months pregnant and her boyfriend Willie Jack gives her money to go by shoes because her feet are swollen and he leaves her at wal-mart with $7.77.

Cemetary/Playground

This a picture of the water tower, I didn't change the picture at all because I thought it looked okay the way it was.  It is a long shot but up in the air. I liked this picture because the clouds look like its part of the tower.










This is a long shot I was walking to the cemetary and taking this picture at the same time. I used the matte to make the inside boarder, and the vignette to make the outer boarder to make it look like I stood way far away to take this picture then I did enhance to brighten the picture a little bit.










This is a picture of a tombstone as a fireplace. I liked this picture because it makes the tombstone look like a real fireplace.  The Technique I used was eye level and I tilted the camera up ward and took it. I used sepia to make it look the olden days when people used fireplaces.











I used black and white to make it look like its dark outside sorta. I like this photo because it is framing the other tombstones in the background.  I also liked the quote on this tombstone. The technique I used was close up and framing.











This picture of my classmates while outside and I used black and white with long shot.  The sun was to much on this picture. The tree was pretty and used some shadows.

The Red Balloon

Today we finished watching The Red Balloon.  We have started our movie unit. We did story boards while we watched the movie to help us with this blog. I learned camera angles such as Medium Shot which in the movie was when the boy was waiting for the bus, also when he was sad when he couldn't get in the bus. Another camera angle I learned was the long camera angle with the fence when a group of boys surrounded the boy with the balloon because they really wanted that balloon. Another example of long shot was when he ran out of church with the balloon and took it on a hill and wanted to get some bread.  Now I am going to talk about framing. Some framing examples in the movie was when the balloon went into the church, when the boy was running with the balloon,when the boy is running through the escape tunnel and the collection of the balloons on the water.  Their was some music with the movie and their was music with the church organs and the balloon is outside the church and the balloon is lonly.
Their are some significance with the balloon is like a person and has a support system.
