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
- 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
