Students you should have your macro assignment in presentation format for tomorrow. There are no excuses! Your macro assignment presentation will not be graded if you do not present it on Friday.
( Note: I have added an extra day for you to work on it) It should be saved on the Hard drive with the blue duct tape on it under the folder 2016 Macros. ( There have already been two people who have completed this) It should be on this drive prior to class starting for full marks. Please make sure the drive makes its way back up to my desk at the end of class.
If for some reason, it is not fully finished, my advice is to do the slideshow with what photos you have, so you can get part marks for the presentation. A reminder this assignment should also be posted to Flickr in an album for detailed marking as well. The due date for this part of the assignment is Friday Nov. 8.
MACRO assignment presentation: Please have your name on the first slide and rename your movie file to include your name. Make sure you have a song. You should have 10 colour and 10 black and white photos. Timing should be around 4 seconds. If you are having trouble getting a song onto your Photostory please ask someone in the class for help, most people know how to do this. Music files need to be in mp3 format if they are going into a Photostory program. Do not use VEVO when you are finding your song to convert on You Tube. Older songs work best since musical artists today can block you from using their songs on You Tube.
Using imovie at home: If you produce an iMovie at home you need to create the movie then move it to your desktop. Then you should move it to a small jump drive. Then move it from the jump drive to your L:drive and then to my hard drive with the blue tape on it. The movie will be played in Quicktime.
A REMINDER THAT THE TERM ENDS ON TUES NOV 10 THIS IS A WEEK AND A HALF AWAY. I will begin marking this weekend so please make sure I can access your photos. And make sure all assignments are organized into sets. VIDEOS ARE NOT DUE FOR TERM #1.
For a detailed listing of all assignments and criteria see posting on Oct. 2.

Check out some new technology gadgets at the following link:
NEW TECHNO GADGETS
The following is an update of all assignments to date with criteria. I will also post up a few of the upcoming assignments.
Assignment #1: Poses : 5 girl poses and 5guy poses, also include 2 poses done right and 2 examples of how you could do it better. ( Essentially a before and after shot) When you post these to Flickr, comment in the description what you did in the second shot to make it better. All of these can be saved under an album, POSES.
Criteria for this assignment: Photos should be in focus, using elements of composition, non-distracting backgrounds, a flattering shot of the individual and a few of the shots should be full body…not all head shots. (marks 20) DUE - marking this weekend.
Assignment #2: PART A: Product shots:10 shots. You are to choose a product to shoot and you are to take 10 different shots of your product. Try to mix it up a little…take shots of people using your product, take inside shots on clean backgrounds, take you product outside to shoot…lots of experimentation. Upload all 10 shots to Flickr under album, PRODUCT SHOOT.
Magazine ad PART B: After you have completed the 10 shots , you are to choose the best 1 or 2 shots and create a magazine ad which will be saved on MS Chase's jump drive and saved to Flickr under the product shoot album.
Criteria for this assignment: PART A: Photos should show experimentation, varied background and evidence of trying to showcase the product at its best. Not all shots have to be perfect, since I am marking your process in this assignment. ( marks 10) PART B: Product should be the focus of the ad, shot is clear, lighting effects work, logo or slogan is included in the ad, and most importantly looks professional…like an ad I would see in a magazine. ( marks 20)
Assignment #3: Backgrounds: In this assignment you are shooting to create interesting and varied background for post production work. We will be utilizing these backgrounds for overlays or layering work in Photoshop at a later date. Post onto Flickr in alblum entitled BACKGROUNDS (10 shots minimum)
Criteria for this assignment: Try to take a variety of shots, include some textures , shoot face on or straight on…avoid shooting on an angle and taking photos of pre-existing art…make your own art!Try not to have too much going on in the backgrounds, less is more. (marks 10)
Assignment #4: Macros: PART A: In this assignment, you will be shooting 20 macro ( or up close) shots. 10 will be in black and white and 10 will be in colour. I would like to see a variety of shots and not too many flower shots…please do not recycle any old photos from other years or past assignments. Make sure your black and white shots show lots of contrast. You may use Ms Chase's macro lens but a good lens does not necessarily make a great photo. Think about your subject matter, getting new and interesting shots, think about your lighting and experiment!
PART A 20 photos uploaded to Flickr in an album entitled MACROS, PART B You will take these 20 shots and put into a slideshow set to music which will be presented in class. Due date TBA
Criteria for this assignment: Photos should be composed well, be in focus, have a clean background. I am looking for wow photos…ones that are more than good, but rather, spectacular and breathtaking!
(PART A 20 shots=20 marks) (PART B Slideshow 40 marks presented in class)
Assignment #5: 5 fall shots…open to interpretation. Make sure you meet Elements of Composition criteria ( marks 10)
Work habits: In addition to assignment marks, a mark out of 10 will be assigned by the teacher based on : time on task, use of class time, striving to perform your best work, experimentation, and asking for feedback on your work.
