Hello students, there is a free Photoshop like program you could download at home if you need to do work at home in a Photoshoplike program. Continue to work hard and ask for help if you need it. Also use your time wisely!

GIMP

Slideshows can also be done at home but you need to have all of your photos at home to do this.

1. Save everything to one drive for access at home

2. Copy all of your photos on a usb drive take home and put on your home computer

The Photostory program can be downloaded on a PC for free. For those of you with Macs use iMovie it is a simple program. Some of you might even be able to find a slideshow app on your phone....but you will need to get all of your final photos onto your phone.

No matter which way you look at it, the final slideshow is a BIG part of of your final mark so get it done!

If you have not done your Portrait slideshows, do not think I have not noticed. You have already lost 10 marks, so get it done and get MS Larizza to mark asap.

Welcome Back

 Hello photography students. I will be away until the end of term. I wanted you to know that I have been very pleased with the quality of work you have produced. I have not forgotten about our photo contest...and in semester 2, I will call a meeting of the winners to collect prizes, since I have so many prizes! Please continue to work hard over the next few weeks until the end of term so you can finish strong. Your final mark in the course will be an average of your term 1 and term 2 marks.

The following assignments need to be marked and completed before the end of term. Final slideshows will be presented the last week of term in class. Check with Ms Larizza ( the TOC) to make sure you have all of your work marked.

Assignments this term:

• levitation ( 10 marks)
• overlay (10 marks)
• portrait slideshow ( I will be marking this unless you did not hand in before Christmas) (30 marks)
• Final Slideshow ( 30 photos review the criteria below) ( 50 marks)

Even if you do not have enough photos to put in your slideshow make sure you complete the assignment with something to present. Not done will get you a zero, something done/some effort might just get you a passing grade. This assignment is worth 50 marks, so it should be top priority based on how much the assignment is worth.

Criteria for assignment:

• Slideshow should include your best photos from the class. All photos should be in focus and well composed. There should be 30 shots total.
• Remember 10 shots can be from assignments or from before this class, the rest should be other shots you have taken and can include some light photos
• Include a variety of different shots. I do not want to see 30 dog shots, or 30 flower shots, or 30 ocean shots or a bunch of goofy shots of your friends. Try to include: macros, landscape, portraits, and other creative shots.

• You must include music that works well with your slideshow NO SWEARS!!!(some mp3 audio files are on the m drive under audio files)
• You must save on the m drive under your class folder. Your file name should include your first and last name (WMV file extention for Photostory Files)
• photos should have simple, non-distracting transitions, and be timed 3.5-4.5 seconds in length
• photos should be clear, well composed.
• your name should be on the first slide of the slideshow

This slideshow will be graded based on the following criteria:

• Quality of photography which includes, clarity, composition, choice of subject matter
• A variety of styles of photography, editing work etc
• Choreography which involves timing, transitions, photo order, and connection to music
• Overal impression based on the feeling created from the slideshow, artistic nature of the work, experimentation, and general wow factor
•
