Video or still photography has always played a significant role in simulation. This presentation introduces beginner/ intermediate tools that will help create more attractive media components for simulation. This presentation covers basic composition, the exposure triangle, as well as backdrop and staging. Basic composition includes the Rule of Thirds as well as using a grid to position subject matter in a more appealing format. The exposure triangle references the ideas of depth of field the importance of light, as well as ISO Settings. Finally, backdrop and staging is discussed as learners focus on capitalizing backgrounds as well as using settings to separate the subject from the background.
