Term 4 Assignments

Congratulations photo students, many of you are improving in your ability to take photos. I was impressed by some of the spectacular shots you are taking. I would like to start posting some of these shots onto the blog so everyone can enjoy the quality of your work.

Yearend Photo Slideshow Expectations

The slideshow needs to have 50 shots, and these shots should be a compilation of your absolute best work. The slideshow should not include more than 10 shots taken before this class or as class assignments. This means, I DO NOT want to see a slideshow that is made up of all your class assignments. You are expected to go out and shoot new shots.

Criteria for Marking

• All shots are clear not blurry
• There is a variety of different shots showing depth of skills
• Photos have good compositional qualities as does the slideshow
• All shots are sized properly, so they are not pixelated in the slideshow program
• Photos are cropped/edited appropriately
• Music chosen is appropriate (avoid swear words and derogatory terms) and fits with the photos
• Transitions are matched to the music
• The slideshow shows evidence of flow and progression of shots
• Evidence of time and effort spent on this project
• WOW factor: Which is a combination of great photography and great choreography of slideshow
