When looking for my favorite director I came across the name Steven Brill. Who directs without a paddle which is one of my favorite movies, but he also directed a film called heavy weights which I absolutely loved!! He directed a lot of Adam Sandler films as well which are also some of my favorites. But I also enjoy the films directed by Antoine Fuqua. Shooter is one of my all time favorite movies and I just enjoy the way he brings everything to pass. I think it is amazing how looking through all of my favorite movies i saw so many directors that had the ability to make so many different styles of movies. There is so much talent out in the movie world now days.

I have chosen to use this picture taken of a group of friends and my self. while i was setting the phone up to take this picture i tried to use the grass as a line of the first third. It starts to bend up like we are on a mound because of the way i set the camera to give it that look that drags you into the center of the picture

with the ever so slight diaganol grass line. Then i went on to use the row of heads trying to hit the other line of thirds and while it isn't exactly on the line it was close enough to balance the picture out to where we liked it enough to keep it. This was taken by self timer and on the  first try so i can't complain with the outcome.

For my website i have chosen to use the homepage at eastbay.com. Eastbay is a website i used a lot more when i was in high school before each season as i would look at the new shoes for each sport i was planning on playing. When i opened up their website i found it to be as user friendly as I remembered. The first thing you see when you open the website is shoes. Shoes everywhere and different styles as well. Then the home page begins to come to life. The middle third of the page begins to scroll through and show you about six different styles of shoes or sales that they have at the moment. At the bottom right hand side of the moving screen there is always a button you can push that says shop now. Each moving pages shop now button will take you to that category you selected. If you want to shop by gender, age, category or even shoe size that is also an option. in the top left hand there is a button that just says shop. When you select that button the options open up and you can then choose your sport, your clothing articles or even that shoe size you desire to look for. The website is very user friendly and easy to use which makes it effective as well. The scrolling pages make the user very intuitive as they want to see what is going on and why the scrolling pages are doing what they are doing. Another thing i like about this website is they aren't congested. They have plenty of spacing and it makes for a very effective home page that wont intimidate users and scare them away because they are afraid they will be in an intensive search for what they want. Eastbay has done a great job in my opinion.
