Slideshows Due on the Blue Drive Thurs.June 12 at end of day

Your slideshow should be on Ms Chase's drive by the end of the day on THURSDAY JUNE 12. If your slideshow is not ready it will not be marked. You would be better off handing in an incomplete slideshow than none at all. Also, all assignment shots need to be on Flickr by the end of the day on Friday June 13 in sets. I will be marking everything on the weekend.

ALL SLIDESHOWS SHOULD BE PUT IN WMV FORMAT AND SAVED WITH YOUR NAME ON THE ASSIGNMENT FILE.

Steps on saving to Blue Drive

• plug in blue drive to usb port on computer, go through my computer not the other ways of opening the drive, you should look for MY PASSPORT, click on and open, find the folder entitled sem2 grade10slideshows2014 ( the file name is close to this), minimize this file.
• Next go to my videos on your computer on your l drive, find your video ( which should have been configured to a wmv file through the Photostory program. Right click COPY, open the file on the blue drive and the edit PASTE. 
• You should see Savanna's and Maddi's slideshows as well as other student's slideshows in this file, click on your slideshow to make sure it opens and works.
• Before removing the drive, press the small arrow button on the bottom and eject drive safely, then pull from the computer and pass on.

As a last result for anyone doing the slideshow in another program and having difficulty saving it, you can try to save it on Flickr, or bring me in your file on a separate jump drive.

If you are doing your slideshow on another program, it is your responsibility to make sure it works properly on our computers at school. Do not leave this to the last minute, bring it in a day or two before it is due to make sure it works properly!

All assignment photos should be organized on Flickr and in sets. Failure to have photos organized properly will result in a lower grade.

Year end Photo Slideshow

Year end 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
