Rule of thirds ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Source: sweet.vanjava The theory is that if you place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your photo becomes more balanced and will enable a viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally.

Where can the camera go? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Crossing the line is a very important concept in video and film production. It refers to an imaginary line which cuts through the middle of the scene, from side to side with respect to the camera. Crossing the line changes the viewer's perspective in such as way that it causes disorientation and confusion. For this reason, crossing the line is something to be avoided. Source: Mediacollege.com

Just starting out to change the world I guess you could say I’m a digital immigrant, I’m probably old enough. I got my first computer in the mid 1980s and I’ve worked with them everyday since. I helped to build the first online database for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s archives. Well, I was doing highly-skilled data entry, at least. I’ve been a journalist for 30 years in both mainstream and community media. I now teach journalism students, but my broadcast training was in the analogue age. I have picked up some digital skills, like a simple blog, audio and some video. I’m now learning how to take more advantage social networks and D-I-Y media. My digital skills are getting better. What I can do is put stuff back, this is how I make my contribution to the digital revolution Ethical Martini, London, October 2008
