Update week of Nov.1, 2011

Students have just handed in their storyboards and should be working diligently on their song photoshoot. The due date for this assignment is Mon. Nov. 21, we will be presenting in class. While this assignment is being worked on, students can be working on their advertisement assignment and their portrait photoshoot. While you have your models for your song shoot, you may want to work on your portraits.

Advertisement: Have a look through magazines and online ads to get an idea of the style of ad you want to shoot. Decide on a shot, then upload into Photoshop and ad words to your ad.

Portrait Photoshoot: You are to use one or two models only. The focus of this assignment is to work with your models and tell them what you want. You need to get the best out of them and push boundaries using the same model.
Shots: 10 in total marks 20

Things to think about:

• location of shoot
• background
• use of props (hats, scarves, sports equipment)
• poses/position of models
• lighting, even if you are outside, what time of day are you shooting? what are your light conditions?
• capture the spirit/essence of the person you are shooting

Criteria for this assignment to follow soon.
