Term 1 Assignments

The following assignments are due at the end of term #1.

1. Written photo job
2. Flickr set-up ( make Ms Chase a contact, photos in albums and labeled properly, profile photo etc)
3. Selfie portrait ( needs to be edited and focus on what makes you unique)
4. 5 Eye shots (2 needed to be edited)
5. 5 Fall shots
6. Concept map for It is a Plastic World assignment
7. Portrait Slideshow and 20 Portrait shots all with the same model
8. Product shoot ( 10 shots) and 2 ads
9. Self Evaluation: Choose your best photo this term, copy and paste into word then using the elements of composition, tell me why this is your best photo. In addition to this, write down 3 things you learned this term in Photo class. ( 5 marks)

Simply put, composing an image means arranging elements within it in a way that suits the core idea or goal of your work best. Arranging elements can be done by actually moving the objects or subjects. A good example for this case is portrait or still life photography.

***NEW Product Shoot

Product Shoot

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  Flickr under the product shoot album. Your 2 good ads should be titled FINAL ad #1 and FINAL ad #2.

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)
