The First Session on Campaigns, 16/12/10

Today, we were learning about campaigns. Campaigns are used for various reasons, including advertising, stating a point-of-view, and raising awareness. The first thing we had to do was look in the Yellow Pages, and find a 24-hour emergency plumbing service, in the local area, as quickly as possible. I found out that the ones that I saw first had bold text stating the necessary details, such as it being a 24-hour service. We also had some practice taking photographs of photography equipment, and had to make short presentations about selling them. I decided that it would be more professional to use the viewfinder instead of the LCD screen, as it allowed me to focus more on the shot. I also found that focussing on the subject close-up could lead to loss of focus.
