Intro Isfeld Photography: Welcome Back: Week of Tues April 6-9

Welcome back, I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable break. There is approximately 3 weeks left in the term which translates into approximately 6 classes left to complete all of the work in the term.

PLEASE NOTE THE DATE CHANGES, MY MISTAKE! CHANGES ARE IN RED.

The following assignments are due no later than FRI. APRIL 23 ON FLICKR, but I would prefer to have the scavenger hunt photos, double exposure and black and white photos wrapped up by the end of this week:

Link to Example of excellent work: Lauren Luksay's Portraits

Scavenger Hunt Photos: 15 photos in one album on Flickr = 30 marks
Portraits 10 shots edited ( 1 model) = 20 marks
Overlay/Double exposure ( post to Flickr and put on the M drive) 20 marks
Blk and White Photos 5 shots =10 marks
Final Slideshow 30 photos = 50 marks Saved to the M drive and ready to be to be presented on Tues/Wed April 20 & 21 in class. Remember only 10 out of 30 photos can be assignment photos or photos taken within the last year by you. The rest should be ones not used for assignments and used specifically for your slideshow. Please note I have shortened your slideshow to only 30 shots.

Lesson on PhotoStory 3: Unless you have i Movie on your computer, laptop, or phone, or another program you know how to use well, you should be using Photostory 3 program on the school computers to produce your Photo Slideshow. STUDENTS WHO TOOK THIS CLASS LAST YEAR, PLEASE HELP OUT THE OTHER STUDENTS!

MOVING PHOTOS INTO PHOTOSTORY

1. You will import your photos into Photostory by opening Photostory and going to Import Photos. Make a point of saving your project every time you go into the program to add photos or edit. Once you save your slideshow, you will find it under My Videos on your L Drive.

2.You will need to go into customize motions to edit the timing and framing of the shots. Each shot should be timed around 3.5-4 seconds in length. Try to keep your start and end positions quite close in size. If it goes from really small to really large, the slideshow will blip the photos or zoom them in and out too fast. You do not want to have your photos scrolling in and out of the frame, the less movement the better.

3. Do not use the music in Photostory (BAD CHOICE) choose from audio files on the m drive or download your own music by going to a You Tube to mp3 downloader.

4. Choose one transition and stick with it, a fade is probably best.

5. Do not use the Photostory Editor and do not over edit your photos.

6. Your working project file is a WP3 file and once you are satisfied with your slideshow you will combine the music and video by clicking next all the way to the end. Your final file name should have your name on it and be a WMV file. lisachasephotostory.wmv You do not need to type in wmv, it will do this automatically when you press next.

7. You will be saving the file to the M drive under your class folder. Make sure your name is on the video file, and it says wmv after your name. If you are using another program like i movie make sure you can transfer the file onto the school computers with a jump drive/cable and then place the file in the proper folder. Check to make sure you can do this before the day it is due.
