The 7 News Values in the News

Police: Train hits abandoned vehicles on tracks
I think that the story of the train killing a person is a "Proximity" story. Because it happened close, yesterday night, just east of Manchaca rd.

Man takes firefighters hostage and Dies in raid, Police say
This is a story about a man that took firefighters hostage for about 4 hours and later died in the police raid. Timeliness or proximity because of the time it occurred. Yesterday.

Woman reported missing from South Austin park found
I think that the story about the women reported missing is a Human Interest story. Because when people read about this, they'll want to know more about it. It catches peoples attention.

Officials: Two Major Austin drug rings busted
I think that this story would be a Novelty because it tells us about the drug that happened on April 2013. I think that because something like this doesn't really happen on a daily basis and its kind of rare to hear about since it takes quite a while for everything.

Texas' senators oppose debating federal gun legislation
I think this story would fall under Conflict because of the Texas Republicans in the U.S. and the Texas Senators. It is a conflict because they are having a debate on federal gun legislation.

South Korea and U.S. Gird for Missile Test by North Korea
I think that this is Prominence because something like this could be considered over reacting or too dramatic on some cases.

Lenses and Photography Vocabulary

I would use a telephoto lens to shoot maybe an athletics event. Maybe a football game to really zoom in on a tackle or touchdown down the field. 

I would use a prime lens to shoot at a theater even to a late night school event.

I would use a wide-angle lens to really capture all of downtown, the capital or maybe the lake. 

Vocabulary:

Depth of Field - Makes the farthest and the closest objects look closer together.

Light - Makes the picture look brighter then it already is.

Shadows - Area where direct light from a light source cannot reach due to obstruction by an object.

Diffusion - Genetic concept of the time dependent process.

Exposure - the total density of light allowed too the fall on the sensor during the taking of a photograph.

Aperture - A whole or an opening through which light travels.

Shutter speed - Makes objects moving fast in real life too stop in the photos
