 One of the first things I did when it came to doing my CCR is go over the question so I can understand them better. I went on to search up CCR from previous students I did that so I would be able to come up with an idea of what I want to do for mine.  I decided that since my topic is about fashion I could record my CCR in a clothing store so that it goes with what I have down and I would record it like a 73 vogue question video but I wasn't able to set up my video like that because although I was around to record I wasn't allowed to walk around the entire store to not bother customers. 

 For the creative critical reflection I started to look back on what previous students have done so I can get an idea of what I think will best works for me. I have been practicing ways that I can answer the question while not going off topic because that is something I tend to do a lot. Preparing for my creative reflection made it easier for me to write my article because at first i didn't really know what i should focus on but after practicing different ways I can answer those question i started to have a better idea of what I want my magazine to be the focus of. I also watched YouTube videos of how other students have done it in the past. 

 Having a plan or an idea of what you want to take a picture of  saves a lot of time and helps you figure out the type of things that you should pay attention to when taking the pictures, such as lighting, angles, explores, distance, etc. It is important to keep in mind when taking pictures to remember the spectators because having spectators gives the readers more detail about the photograph, for example, if the photograph is of a high school football team winning having spectators in the picture will give readers more context as in if it's the school team wining or the rival team. Very the number of people in photos a spread would look quite boring if all the picture contain picture of only 2 or 3 people have different numbers of people gives the spread a more joyful feel. Get before during and after photos when it comes to an event it is best to get the process and the steps that it took to get to that events.   

  we learned about many different techniques to use and each one of them has helped me get a better idea of how I want to take the pictures for my magazine. For example, when it comes to using the depth of field method I learned that it is a good way to grab your reader's attention because we can either focus on the subject without having any form of distribution in the background. Working on that assignment help me figure out a great way for me to take pictures without having the need to edit my background if I find something that can potentially distract the readers from the subject I want them to focus on.  There were other techniques that we focus on such as framing, leading lines, bird worm view, and eyes worm view. One of my favorite techniques is leading lines because I find it to be one of the easier techniques we can use. Depth of field example  Example of leading lines 

  Composition  In class, we discuss and went over some different types of composition we can use to make our pictures more apparent to the audience. We went over birds' eyes view, worm eyes view, using the rule of thirds, using leading lines, using isolation, framing, and repetition. Learning about those compositions gave me more of an option of what I can use to make my pictures eye cathing.  cropping  We use cropping to help eliminate anything that might distract us from the pictures. For example, if there is something that is in the right corner of your picture and it could be a possible distraction there is no need to retake the picture because you can simply crop it out. Storage  Having enough storage is among some of the most important a photographer should remember, because it would suck to want to take a picture for your spread and not have enough storage. It is also important because you might want to take more than one picture with diffrent angles, lig...

The photograph is one of the first things that readers see, they are the things that they pay the most attention to. The photograph is what ties everything together because there is a high chance that the readers will get distracted and uninterested if a publication consisted of only words. Having photographs is important but it is also important to have eye-catching photographs, the pictures need to stand out, they need to be interesting. Having good pictures gives you a higher chance of readers being more interested in wanting to know what your publication is about.
