Nut Graf

Nut Graf definition: 
     A Nut Graf a paragraph or main point of the story that holds all of the most important news of the article. The Nut Graf is used to summarize the story. This paragraph is very important due to the fact that it tells the reader why the story/ article really matters. Not only this, but it tells the reader why they should continue reading the article. This part of the article provides a smooth transition into the rest of the story.
     Nut Graf's are typically written in a new format in which the most important news is told in the first few sentences. With in the Nut Graf, the end of the story should not be given away as it's purpose is to get the reader to read until the end of the story. The paragraph should answer any possible questions the reader may have about the article. This section should be where the author "gathers their thoughts" and should ultimately create a good hook to keep the readers intrigued and hungry to read more.



 Nut Graf paragraph:  
 Student of the Month is a large achievement and is extremely hard to get. Only one student per grade may receive the award. This doesn't sound major but there are around 1,000 students per grade. That's a lot! Students may only receive the award by showing academic achievement, perfect attendance, and participation in school activities. This is a very hard thing to do, which makes the award so amazing. Once hearing about the possible award, GPA's went up, students began participating more in school activities, and attendance became near perfect. The award pushed students to do their best in hopes of receiving the honored award.

Academic shoot

Image
1. Avoid mergers 2. The subject of my photo is the two boys in the back writing and the boy scratching his head. the merger is the blonde boy in the bottom of the photo. 3.I think it is fairly clear that the 3 boys are the main subject with the blond boy as the merger. 4. If people couldn't easily tell I could have gotten closer to the boys and maybe have made my subject smaller and done 2 boys instead of 3. (and a half) 1. Rule of thirds 2.The subject of my photo is the girl reading her book 3. It is pretty clear whom my subject is since she is what the photo mainly focuses on. 4. If it isn't clear, I should have gotten closer to her and crop out the boy on the far left. 1. Simplicity 2. The subject of my photo is the piece of art. 3. I think it is pretty clear since the main thing in focus is the drawing. 4. If it isn't clear I should have used a high aperture setting to blur out everything except for my main subject. 1.balance 2. The subject of m...

Academic shoot reflection and critique

1. Some of the challenges I faced while trying to follow the rules during the shoot was, that it was hard to find all of the rules. I thought it would be easy but it was actually kind of hard to find some of them. Not only that but as a photographer, i personally like more of a clear background but you can't do that with academic shoots since their are people everywhere! Lastly, their was not the best lighting since it was in a classroom. 2. I thought the most about the rules since that was what we were out there to do. I also focused on flipping the camera horizontal for some photos that I needed a closer and more full- body picture for. 3. If I could do the shoot again, I would try to get closer to some of the "subjects" to make sure it focuses only on the things I wanted in the photo. 4. I would keep my balance photo, my lines photo, and the simplicity picture. These are my favorite photos since I feel that they are good examples of the rule. 5. I think that the ne...

The Camera

                                                                The Camera                 1. The "camera obscura" effect is an optical effect which inside a completely dark room, a small hole is made. Through the hole, light is focused and the optical effect is projected upside down on the opposite wall. 2. When Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding go optics which helped getting to the modern camera. 3. In 1827, Joseph Niépce added film which pretty much created the modern camera. 4. Modern Cameras still use film and has the same basics except Niépce camera took over 8 hours to expose. 5. digital cameras use electronic sensors called a CCD. to capture a photo. The photographs are stored on the reusable computer memory.           ...
