Practical photography - Composition LO2
Composition
The term 'composition' stands for the placement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art, as distinct from the subject of a work.
Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section
Focal Points
The focal points in photography are the main points in the image like the centre of the image or the main 'thing' in the picture,
Vice Media
The name of the company is Vice, they generally focus on topics that would be interesting for millenials, such as drugs, crime, war etc.Vice Media is based in New York city. Vice Media is not a part of another company but it is owned by 21st Century Fox. This company has other parts of it such as Fightland (focuses on boxing), Vice News, Noisey (music and music production), Munchies (food), Broadly (focuses mainly on women and female rights) and many others that haven't yet quite caught on. There isn't one single person who takes care of all the hiring, every single branch of Vice Media has their own hiring staff. Again there are too many branches of Vice Media and they all have offices in various countries. Some interesting info is that the company was founded by Suroosh Alvi & Shane Smith, they both met while at a drug rehab centre in Montreal, Vice Media had a foreign journalist to embed with Isis for a few weeks and thanks to that the world had an insight into the world of the caliphate.Working at Vice would give me an opportunity to experience what new age journalism is like, they have branches of the company that goes in every directions in which you want to go and it would give me an opportunity to do what I want to do.

Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh is easily the most known painter to come out of the Netherlands. He died too early to know the popularity that his work would receive. Born in 1853 in the Netherlands Van Gogh was the son of a pastor, Vincent was very emotional and had little self confidence. He first took of drawing as he believed all great artists started with drawing. All together Van Gogh has produced more than 900 paintings, a 1000 drawings, 150 watercol
our paintings, 10 graphic works, 9 lithographs and an etching.
His paintings have a very varied palette of colours and his paintings were very bold and quite dark. He uses a lot of colours and he uses them very successfully and puts them all to good use, he makes great use of a lot of tones of blue for the sky in basically all of his paintings, all the skies are dramatic yet colourful and look as some sort of optical illusion.
Van Gogh had an interesting style as his paintings very of realistic things but he found ways to make them seem abstract making him one of the earliest abstract painters.
In any of Van Gogh's painting your eyes will be either first draw to the abstract blue sky or anything below it, which is normally some sort of field in a very hay-like yellow colour. The eye would be drawn to the lightest parts such as the moon in his darker paintings, or the sky or trees as in his lighter paintings.
The only tools that Van Gogh used to create his paintings were, paint brushes, paints and his eyes.
All of Van Gogh's paintings were painted in his very specific way which is hard to duplicate or even attempt to have a go at, all of his paintings are masterpieces that shouldn't be changed.
