ACADEMIC SHOOT

SIMPLICITY 

1) I followed the rule of simplicity pretty well because the subject is standing in front of a plain non distracting background.

2) The subject is one of my teachers, teaching.

3) Yes,it is very clear to people what the subject is, if you follow the rule of simplicity you will always be able to find your subject.

4)  I feel like I followed the rule of simplicity well.

FRAMING

1) I followed the rule of framing pretty well, as the kids heads form a frame.

2) The subject is the green water bottle and stapler.

3) Im not sure if the subject is that clear to people, I should have probably had a better subject but when I saw such a great setup for the rule of framing I just took it immediately.

4) I feel I followed the rule of framing well, I just wish I would've had a better subject and without one it makes this photograph flawed.

 LINES

1) I followed the rule of lines pretty well, as the students heads for form lines. Maybe though, I could have made it more easier to tell what rule I was going for and have a subject at the end of the lines which is what you're supposed to do in this rule.

2) The subject is the students as their heads form lines.

3) I think its pretty clear to people that the students are my subject but I can also see how someone could get confused and maybe see something else as their is a lot going on in this photograph.

4) I think to better show this rule I should have had a teacher at the end of the lines to show that the lines always lead to the subject.

RULE OF THIRDS

1) I followed the rule of thirds pretty well as the dude in the blue shirt (the subject) is in the third left of the photograph.

2) The subject is the guy in the blue shirt.

3) Yes, I think its pretty clear that the kid in the blue shirt is my subject because the other persons head is out of focus and Im clearly aiming the picture towards the kid in the blue shirt.

4) I think I followed the rule fine, its just I could've taken a better photograph. The quality and creativity is low in this one.

BALANCE

1) I think I followed the rule of balance pretty well as I was looking for geometric shapes and saw that their heads made a triangle, which give an image balance.

2) The subject is the ginger.

3) Yes , I think its pretty clear that the ginger is the subject because he is closest to me and totally in focus while the other two are out of focus.

4) I think I followed the rule well, Its just again that I wish I could've taken a better photograph, something more aesthetically pleasing and creative.
