representation of gender

From the images above you can tell that Kermit the frog is a male figure by how he is dressed, for example he is wearing a suite. This is a good exapmle because men are associated with wearing suites where as if Kermit was a girl then he would wear a dress or skirt for business wear. Also to suggest that Kermit is a man in the second picture he is holding an ak47, this is another good example because men are also associated with guns and war.

From the first image above I can safely say that I feel Kermit is a good role model for children because he is dressed in smart clothing , this suggests that he is working for a business and that because of his dress sence he is well off with enough money to buy suites and also it shows from what he is wearing that he cares about his apperance. But from the second image I can say that he is not a good role model because of him showing of an ak47, this represents war and this is not a good message that kids should be seeing.

breaking the rules of third

when you break the rule of thirds you take a photo where the subject is looking directly down the barrel or where you are presented with a scene with real symmetry. This creates the effect that you cant put the horizontal or verticle lines down and across the pictures.

Here is an example of Breaking the rules. As you can see this image is symetricle up and down. Therefore you cannot apply the rule of third to this image.

summarising 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 the top or bottom line and the verticle on the left or right of the choosen image. This creates an easyer way to see an image in a different sprspective, for example if an image of an object is taken just front on then it can be quite boring but if it is more to the left or right and has things ion the image that meets at one of the horizontal or vericle lines then it would catch the views eye more.

rule of thirds

In this picture the horizontal line is just above the sea on the horizen and also there is one where the start of the sea is coming into the shore. And the verticle lines are at the start and the end of where to boat is.

This is very effective i think as it catches all the detail in the image and is spaced out with more of the background and surroundings because the image isnt staright in the middle.
