Product Shoot Assignment Outline

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 under the album, PRODUCT SHOOT.

Ad PART B: After you have completed the 10 shots , you are to choose the best  2 shots and create a magazine ad which will be saved  under the Product Shoot folder. 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 or editied 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
