characters in "To Kill A Mockingbird"

Well in this book there are alot of characters, so im just going to name off a few of them and tell you there conflicts.
  1. Atticus- He has alot of problems through out the whole book. Like he has to take care of all of the kids by his self,  plus he has to defend a black male in a trial and he is forced to do it. But he never turns down anything so he will defend him the best he can.
  2. Scout- She is always having to deal with Jem and Dill. Plus she has to deal with her Aunt Alexanderia because she is trying to reform Scout into a new girl. But i dont think Scout is going to let that happen.
  3. Jem- At the begining of the book he was like a little kid and was always up for dares and would go and play all day with Dill and Scout. But he changes alot just in the begining and thinks that he needs to grow up really fast. Like he starts to tell his Atticus the truth about things and like even when Dill ran away. 
  4. Dill- He is a wild little thing. He is always out for a adventure because he only gets to spend the summer in Maycomb.
  5. Boo Radley- All of the kids think that he is crazy. Because he never comes outside and he always stays inside.

Braden's Rim




This is the football field on a quiet fall morning after football season ended.  It's a long shot.  I used the fading edges feature (vingette) and I enhanced the color.










This is a close up of Braden's rims. I used the sepia effect.  I like how the soft edges effect makes it look like the tire is moving.  The contrast of the bright chrome and the black pieces












 This is a longshot. In this picture i used antique and plus i used matte. This picture looks very peaceful.














This is a picture of my friends grave stone. This picture is showing framing. In this i blurred the edges and i used antique.









This picture is a high angle shot and plus a over the shoulder shot. A high angle shows that the people below have no power. A over the shoulder shot and that shows what another person is seeing.

The Red Balloon

This is a example of a close up. This is showing that he is trying to tell the balloon to stay there. Plus it is showing that he is like the boss of the balloon. The next type of shot is a medium shot. A medium shot is like when the little kid and the adults were waiting for the bus to come and pick them up. A long shot is a shot that shows the whole background and plus the whole body of the character. In this movie it shows a long shot when the little boy running through the middle of that field with the church in the background. A high angle shot is a shot that shows that the character has no power and has no chance. In the movie it shows a high angle shot when the other little kids were trying to get the balloon but the balloon flew up into the air into a window. A low angle shot is that it shows that you are very strong and mighty. It shows a low angle shot when the balloon fly's way up into the air because nobody can touch it or even reach the balloon. Now i would like to talk about framing. Framing is like when the little kid and the balloon are standing in the window with the balloon and the whole outside of it was very dull like grey and then the balloon was bright red. So it made your eyes jump straight towards the balloon and focus on it only.
