I couldn't help but remember what Meredith said earlier about how this class had changed her perspective. I now find myself looking at photographs and even tv shows differently. Just last night, watching Grey's Anatomy, I noticed that the cameramen went between switching field of view and point of view to emphasize different people at different times. I even saw the rule of thirds come into play and never realized before how much just the position of a person on a screen can be used to lead your audience to focus on the subject you want.

I caught myself noticing the same thing while watching House. :) I kept an eye on the rule of thirds and found that, a lot of the time, the actors stood towards one side or the other. I also saw several times how the camera would focus on the person in front and then slowly switch to the person in back to emphasize their expression or when they started talking. FOV anyone?

Nice post Kristina! I love hearing about how so many of you have been affected by what we have been learning in class! The fact that Kalie seconded your sentiment in her comment is awesome! Isn't it wonderful when something that we learn can affect every aspect of our life?! It makes me even more jazzed to teach! And, on top of that, to LEARN from all of you! I appreciate you sharing with us! Joe and Lauren also made similar comments in their posts. Keep up the new perspective!
