The digital assignment was eye-opening because I was able to deconstruct the photo into different concepts. I think this is a valuable thing to know because photos have a huge impact on everything from advertising to journalism. Being able to curate or edit a photo in a way that grabs the viewers’ attention is important in many aspects and in many careers. My favorite photography concept that I learned was the Rule of Thirds. It’s easy to apply and can be used even by the most amateur of photographers, like myself.

Last week we learned about the importance of audio. I enjoyed learning about the sections on microphones because although I don’t use any myself, I have noticed the physical differences on television and online. For instance, I wasn’t aware of the differences between a dynamic microphone and a condenser microphone. If I were to ever record in a studio, I’d most likely invest in a condenser microphone since it is more sensitive to sound. Lastly, I found the section on how to have a good podcast important because it’s a viable option to anyone who wants to create content.
