File Format/Composition



The picture above has been saved in the file format of JPEG. This means that the picture will have a lossy file format. The image will lose its integrity if it is edited. When the picture is compressed, it combines pixels which will create bad quality pictures. The type of composition used is silhouette. The silhouettes of the man and the woman are the main focus of the picture. There is also the silhouette of the trees that adds to the picture because it showcases the scenery and adds to the overall romantic scenery.
The picture above has been saved in the file format of PNG (Portable Network Graphics). The PNG file format is lossless which means that it will lose less of its integrity when the picture is edited. When finished, the audience will not be able to tell the difference. This type of format is patent free. The photo composition that this image used is angels. Most pictures of celebrities are taken facing them. Yet, the photographer used a different angel to showcase Adele's side facial features. Her cheekbones are brought to life in this picture as well as her neckline.
The image above was saved under the file format of GIF, which means Graphic Interchange Format. The image is lossless which means that the integrity of the image is not distorted as much. Yet, it should only be saved when using a small number of colors. Images with detail will not result with good quality. The type of photo composition used in the picture is proportion. The size of the objects found on the moon compared to the average person is quite larger in size. This proves to be effective because it lets the audience know how the ratio of objects found on the moon compared to a human being.
