DUE Thursday, MAY 24

At this point, you should have completed taking the images for the project. Now you have two days to organize the work, complete the prezi or slides / graphic organizer and reflection. All work needs to have been shared with me by Wednesday midnight. Similar to to the photojournalist project, we can move quickly, if the material has been shared.

Personal photo project details.

Part 1: select your theme and send along by midnight tonight (homework grade- 10%)

Part 2: written component of project: All due on Thursday May 24 (writing grade-50% category)  directions below in section 2

Part 3: sharing out your project: (class participation)  directions below in section 3

Personal Photo Project is due on Thursday, May 24

Of what will this consist?

    You may, of course, take as many pictures as you wish, but you will share only 10 images with the class.

Can I have more?
   No.

How will these be shared?
    You may have them on a Prezi or a Power Point or some other similar program.

So what are the parameters for taking these pictures?
      You must have an theme, that is a clearly defined point to unify your series of photos. This is not to be a haphazard collection or arrangement of images or a visual summary of a holiday or trip, but a thoughtfully planned out goal that unites an idea and demonstrates your proficiency in using various photo techniques to convey your ideas.

  

 Can it be from some place I already took pictures?

      No, these are new images that demonstrate you have an understanding of the rules of composition, as used to express your photo objective.

What type of pictures must these be exactly?

  You may organize these how you wish, but within the pictures you must demonstrate your understanding the following:

        close-up

        medium-range shot

        establishing shot

        accurate use of phi grid or rule of thirds AND  Fibonacci spiral

        horizontal and vertical format

        understanding of the horizon line placement

        conscious use of lighting

        varied perspective (tilting up or down to convey meaning)

        conscious framing
        awareness of depth of field, symmetry, pattern, texture, lighting

You will have already sent in the written component of

In the manner similar to how you presented your

 photojournalist, you will create a power point or prezi of

 your work.

There will be a total of 11 slides

Slide 1- your photo with full name This may be formal or

 informal and written out and the title of your project.

Slides 2-11: your picture and a cut line for each one.
