Chapter 6 summary

Images are a very important part of displaying information. Photojournalism is a very popular way to document our surrounding world. Not just anybody can do photojournalism. There are many ways to screw up pictures and many ways to make a picture express what is happening in real time. First, there are three types of shots that are very self-explanatory, long range, midrange, and close-up. One very important rule you must remember while shooting any kind of these shots is the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds is a strategy for making a picture look better. Instead of places the object directly in the middle of the picture put whats important on the side so that your eyes flows with the picture and follows through with the importance. photojournalism is a great way to document something because not only are you showing a picture of the event you are also place a cutline to your picture. A cutline is also known as a caption and it gives a brief description about your picture.

Journalism is far greater than just pictures. It involves graphics. One of the best ways to present information is through charts or graphs. Depending on the information, anywhere from bar charts to line charts to pie charts are used. Good charts are not by itself. With a good chart or graphs comes a headline, labels, explainer box, legend, source, and credits. With those things it makes the graph be able to be understood better, be more official, give credit where credit is due, and give out proper information.
