1. Rule of thirds - The rule of thirds is a "rule of thumb" or guideline which applies to the process of composing visual images such as designs, films, paintings, and photographs.The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.

2. Balancing Elements - formal balance, also called symmetrical balance. As the name suggest it is when one or more identical or similar subjects are repeated symmetrical on each sides of a given point. informal balance or so called asymmetrical balance is when one or more dissimilar elements are balancing on each side of a given point. 

3. Leading Lines - In art, Leading Lines are lines that guide your eye through the painting or photograph.

4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition) - They can make for very eye-catching compositions, particularly in situations where they are not expected. Another great way to use them is to break the symmetry or pattern in some way, introducing tension and a focal point to the scene.

5. Viewpoint - A camera angle in photography, filmmaking, and other visual arts

6. Background - The back of the focus point in the picture can also create a sense of simplicity.

7. Create depth - making your eyes look beyond the photo like looking into the distance. 

8. Framing - the action of framing something

9. Cropping - cropping the photo at a specific angle or position.

10. Mergers and avoiding them - A merger in photography occurs when a background object is directly in front or behind a subject. If there are multiple subjects in the photograph, a merger can also occur if both main subjects overlap with each other or touch the sides of the picture frame.

3. List the changes that were made to the model in the computer. (Look carefully)

They made the girls skinnier and they would change the skin tone. These photo shoppers were trying to make the girls "prettier."  

4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not?

No its not. It's disrespectful to the model. It can hurt feeling and hurt self esteems. 

people should not just be changed completely for the entertainment of others. 

5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?

Its always wrong. People should not change their faces and hide natural beauty by people who believe they are not. 
6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?

Makeup and hair. Just nothing that makes the model look like a totally different person. 
7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.

Fashion photography, you have to shoot people and clothes. To go with trends or start them. Its for the entertainment. Photojournalism is different because you write about your experiences with shooting and what you learned. It can be about anything. 
8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?

Each one shows real things in the world, but for fashion photography its all different you change things to get the trends set and make your company more popular and make more money. 
9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?

So we can see the truth behind photoshop and whats its capable of. 
10. Why are none of these videos about guys???

Men editing is less popular because its usually a girls job to sit there and look pretty.
