Link to Video: How to make your photos Better
The following assignments should be completed.
Flickr: set-up, make Ms Chase a contact, find other followers, change buddy icon and background photo, join and post one photo to the Isfeld Photo group ( 10 marks)
Assignment #1: List of 15 photos ( focus on composition), make sure the assignment has the titles on each of the photos and it is in an album (15 marks)
Grading for Photography: What I am looking for in a good photograph:
- photo is in focus and sharp
- photo has strong compositional elements
- photo has some thought put into it/fits the assignment criteria
- photo is sometimes taken from a unique angle/evidence of experimentation
- photo has been edited if necessary, but not over-edited
You should be working on the following:
Your Beauty in a Minute Video: Briefly 60 1 sec shots linked together. Will introduce in detail next week.
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.
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.

Gel Portraits
In this assignment, you are to shoot in the back photo room using the coloured gel sheets over the lights. This is an experimental shoot and you should focus on creating a mood in the photos. Some editing will be necessary. 5 shots (10 marks)
Selfie/Portrait Assignment:
You are to take 3 practice shots trying out different looks and techniques ( maybe try: projection, reflection, lens cover, props, black and white, spot colour etc.) One final shot.
Once you have created the shot think about what makes you unique, who are you, what is your style, likes/dislikes. Add these ideas of who you are into the self portrait manually or using Photoshop.
Criteria: In your album on Flickr include all 3 practice shots and your final shot. The final shot should involve either manual or Photoshop manipulation, should be well composed, and define who you are in some way. You will also print out a colour copy to be showcased in the hallway. Include a brief description with your final shot describing what you were trying to communicate in the image.
