Conceptual Photo Assignment
Conceptual Photo Assignment:( 3 shots = 30 marks) In this assignment you are to take three photos that speak to an idea, an issue or evoke thought or conversation. The photos should be creative and somewhat original, although you can research what ideas others have tried. You may need to set up a shoot or possibly need to use Photoshop to fully develop your idea. Please post the assignment to Flickr and do not forget to put a write up in the description talking about the ideas you were hoping to get across in your photos.

Tues April 25
Good morning all. I was going to give you a written assignment, but since we have all had too much indoor time due to the rain, and it is sunny outside, and I think spring is finally here. I am giving you a new photo assignment.
Spring shot Assignment: (marks 10, shots 5) Go outside into the fresh air and find evidence of spring. Translate this into a photo. Vary your shots, and remember about shooting angles and elements of how to compose a good photo. I want these shots to have an artsy feel to them even if you have a few that have people in them. ( marks 10)
This assignment is for all grade 11/12 students.

Ms Chase is away Mon. and Tues
Miscellaneous Info: Due to me being away for Mon. and Tues. the video assignment presentation date has been extended to Thurs. in class. I will be in on Wed. to troubleshoot any problems or concerns. On Tues. you will have a small written assignment, so if you are away make sure you check the blog.Your slideshow should be saved as a movie file on the m:drive under the file chase 2017 and then under Beauty in a second.
What to work on today?
Continue work on your video.
Portrait Assignment: (marks 30) If you are doing a location shoot this may not be possible. So maybe you can research posing and plan your model and location. If you have done your shoot,you can edit. If you are doing your portraits at school, find someone to photograph and get busy. There are lots of places to shoot around the school. ( skatepark, woods, garage door near the soccer clubhouse, metal storage containers on the soccer fields. ) See details for this assignment below.
Magazine Cover Assignment: (marks 20) If you have already done this assignment in grade 11 last year then you should choose a cd cover. Or if you would prefer to do a cd cover then go ahead. The magazine cover requires you to take a vertical photo that is at a very high quality, and using photoshop you are to create the cover of a magazine. You should include: a bar code, the title of the magazine in the proper font, article titles etc. I should be able to look at the cover of your magazine and think it is a real magazine. 20 marks You should print out and also add to Flickr.
CD cover: The idea of this assignment is to duplicate an actual CD cover as close as possible using your own model and Photoshop skills. See example below. The real cover is on the left. Strangely, the boy on the right looks a lot like the actual recording artist.
Conceptual Photography: Begin doing some research on conceptual photography. This assignment will be introduced in detail tomorrow along with a small written assignment. Stay posted.
