Phobia Project

A. A phobia is a very big fear of something.

B.
Ablutophobia is the fear of washing or bathing

Bacteriophobia is the fear of bacteria

Batophobia is the fear of heights or being close to high buildings.

Acrophobia is the fear of sourness

Acrophobia is the fear of heights

C. Things I could do for my phobia project are the fear of spiders or bugs because I could get very in depth gross looking pictures of bugs on someones arm. Another thing I could do is a picture of different food typed which would be easy because I can create depth to make everything look very real so I can make the picture look squeamish to someone who has that fear. I could also do a blurry but at the same time cool picture for someone who is afraid of dizziness or whirlwinds.

1. For the spiders or bugs I could find a bug and set it on a persons hand or just find a bug and take a picture to make the bug look very large and very detailed and clear to show that it could be a fear. I can take the bug and make it expand to look like the background is very small. I think this will show the fear of bugs because that is what they think about and it is the center clear focus. I think this way of capturing the photo would be cool because it shows the fear in a different way some people may not think about.

2. For a picture of heights I could fins an elevator that is clear and shows either outside or some depth and dimension and angle that camera looking down. I am going to angle the camera down because I can make the picture look like the camera or whatever is behind that camera is about to fall. I could also just stand on a very tall latter or go up against a very tall building.


3. For a blurry picture that looks like someone is getting dizzy I could do a picture of the sky. I think this would be cool so that color can come across in these photos. I am going to try my best to make the center clear while everything around the picture or main focus looks like its spinning so it shows the fear of being dizzy or spinning.


D. A couple of photographic techniques I can use to highlight my images of fear are for the dizziness I can use simplicity to make the picture look more clear and get to the point instead of it being a swirl of a bunch of different colors. For heights I could use lines to show like the leading lines down to the bottom or the height difference. And for the bugs I could use depth and dimension. I could also use depth and dimension in the heights fear because I can show the different levels and dimensions of how high the building is and making the picture look 3D. I can use depth and dimension for the bug to show that the bug looks really real and three dimensional.

Welcome Back



This was one of my favorite photos from the year that I looked at because it is very cool that this is the first sighting in history of the president flying to the U.S.





This is one of my favorite photos of the year because I think that the color in this photo is very incredible. I love how the road is dividing two very different colors of the lake. This is a salt lake but the algae is changing the color.



This is one of my favorite pictures because I love tumbling and Simone Biles is my favorite gymnast and I really look up to her as a gymnast.

1. My favorite song of 2016 was Don't Wanna Know by Maroon Five ft. Kendrick Lamar. I chose this song because I love Maroon Five and I went to the Maroon Five concert and we were the first stop on tour to hear this song. I also love this song because the music video is hilarious and I could watch it over and over again. I also love this song because it is very catchy and I like catchy songs so I can sing along easily.

2. My favorite movie of this year is Bridget Jones' Baby. This is my favorite movie because I have seen all of the Bridget Jones' Baby movies and was really excited for this one to come out. I was also intrigued by this movie because Patrick Dempsy is one of my favorite actors and I was really excited to learn he would be in this movie. This movie was the best of 2016 because it made me laugh more than any other movie in 2016.

3.  I think the most important  news of this year was who was elected as president. I think that this was the most important news because knowing who will run your country is very important and it will be a big change in 2017.I also think that this was the most important news because there was so much controversy regarding who would be elected as president. Many people were unhappy with the outcome but in 2016 everyone had to learn to accept the fact and come to terms that Donald Trump will be our next president.

4. I think that the most important person of 2016 is Simone Biles. I think that she is the most important person of 2016 because she earned 4 gold medals and one bronze medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro olympics. I think that she was also one of the most important people of 2016 because she is only 29 years old! I picked her as the most important person of 2016 because I look up to her and I know for sure many people look up to her as well.

5.  I think that the most important sports stories of 2016 was that at the olympics Michael Phelps' said that this was going to be his last olympics and that he was going to retire. I think that this was the most important sports story of 2016 because Michael Phelps is a very well known swimmer. Even though I do not swim I think this is a big deal because next olympics Michael will not be there.Image result for michael phelps holding gold medal 2016
