Movie Question

Movie Question National Geographic "The Photographer"

1) National Geographic's pioneer photographer Gilbert H Grosvenor maintained that “The mind must see before it can believe.” Do you think this is true? Explain.

I think it is true. I think maybe it's like when we believe there are some ghost we cannot believe without seeing them. Or like love and cherish. We can say how much do they love someone with word. but it might be not true, unfortunately. However when they hug them kiss them or seeing each other face and expression, we can know and tell them with sure. I think all about these base make sense.

2) The photographers come across many obstacles, problems, and dilemmas while out on photo shoots. List 5 that stood out to you.

They are, where you gonna go, what you gonna photograph, who you wanna see, what you wanna see how you gonna tell that story

3) Nick Nichols specializes in wildlife photography. What happened with the elephants on his trip to the Rainforest? How do you think you would have reacted in that situation?

It was dangerous, elephants run straight to the photographers. If I am on that situation, I am surprised and scared, then actually I cannot move from there even I have to run!! I think I cannot take a picture when I face that dangerous situation.

4) What do the National Geographic photographers tell you makes a great photo? (Tell me 2 things)

Clear, sharp, strong centrist, good composition, packaged the world.

5) National Geographic gives some good pointers on Portraits. What did you take away from this film about photos of the human face?

The picture was about surgery. These so many thread with body scared me. I thought about the life.

6) Photographers often shoot hundreds of photos and only pick one or two from the group. Did you agree with the explanations of why certain pictures get chosen for the cover? Which cover was your favorite?

Nice photo is only one or two in hundred is like we have one second or moment which impresses us in whole our life, so it's really valuable and rare. I like that picture with just one eye one. Because when I saw it I couldn't say anything but I though what it's seeing or watching over through. I felt how beautiful eye is and it's looking at me, so it kind of scares me and I feel like I cannot avoid it.

7) David Doubilet photographs underwater. He comments on making the reader “feel the ocean.” How do you think YOU can make viewers FEEL your subjects when you take your photos?

I think I can make viewers feel. . .When I touch, smell, hear and see object. When I share experience with that object. Then I cannot say anything with any words for them.

8) National Geographic's mission is to provide its readers “with a window on the world.”

It is introducing land and people we never visited. Sometime these photos were taken where photographer worked on outside with unwelcome. I think photographers make the windows for us, so we should look at outside of our world. And then see and find something. I think these might be something valuable to you someday.

9)What are your thoughts on the Peruvian sheep faming boy? The photographer felt that his “intrusion” had made an actual difference. How can you make a difference with your own photos?

I felt how much sheep were important for him. I learned back ground is important as much as object is. Background is not just back or decoration for object. It tells us what is object.

10) Did this film inspire you in any way for your own photography? We're going to explore photography more in depth next week, what lessons will you retain from this film?

I learned what makes photos, what we can feel through photograph...and I'm happy I could meet these nice photo which let impresses me...
