Video tips

 Here are a couple of great videos  with some tips for shooting good footage. Make a point of getting close to your subject. If you are interviewing people get close enough to create a head and shoulders shot.

When working on your Day in the Life videos, do not go any longer than 10 sec per shot unless you are doing a time lapse or a sped up shot. Keep your transitions simple, probably a fade in or out. Do not walk with the camera, it usually does not look good. If you are panning with the camera, do it very slow.

SHOW VIDEOS TO ENTIRE CLASS

REVIEW CRITERIA

Day in the Life Video: You are to video and edit a day in your life and set it to music. Likely you will need to shoot on more than one day and make it look like it was all in one day.

Keep your shots short, 3-5 sec.( maximum 10 sec) and make sure they are sequenced properly. The video should be 1-2  min in length. Make sure your shots are in focus, shot from various angles, and well composed. You should be choosing a song to put with your day in the life video. Do not forget you are trying to tell a story of your day.

Portraits

Portraits Due:

Working with a model of your choice, you should plan to set up a portrait shoot. You will need 20 different shots of one model. Plan to shoot a variety of different shots including but not limited to:

• 3-4 head shots
• 5  full body shots
• 5 creative shots using the lcd projector/costumes/props etc. 
• A mixture of other posed shots
• shot on different days in different locations wearing different clothing

Study other portrait photographer's work and learn how to effectively pose your model.
This assignment is worth 30 marks. 20 marks for your portraits and 10 marks for your portraits put into a slideshow, set to music for viewing. If you do not meet the deadline for the slideshow, you will receive a zero for the presentation portion of the assignment.

Tips:

• plan your shots/shoot
• be aware of where the light is ( best times to shoot dawn and dusk)
• choose an interesting, clean background
• maybe choose to use a prop ( umbrella, hat, scarf, pumpkin etc)
• shoot people in their element ( skateboarder with a skateboard at the skatepark)
• create a rapport with your model and direct the shoot, which means tell the model what you want them to do.

So maybe you can research posing and plan your model and location. If you have done your shoot, you should spend some good quality time editing. 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. ( skate park, woods, garage door near the soccer clubhouse, metal storage containers on the soccer fields, along the fence near the bus loop )

5 Macro Photography Techniques

1. Use flash. While decreasing your aperture will give you the depth of field you need to get your subject in focus, it will also allow less light into your camera. ... If using your phone, bring in extra lighting ( another phone, makep mirror light, lamp, external lights, use the light box
2. Use manual focus. ... 
3. Use a tripod, or set your phone up against something for stability
4. clean up dust, hairs on subject because it will show up in the photo
5. Take plenty of shots. ...

Best Macro Photography Settings 

• Shutter speed: 1/125 – 1/500.
• Aperture: f/8.0, f/11.0.
• ISO: 400 or higher
• Focal length: 50mm (in 35mm format)
• Exposure mode: Manual, if automatic either shutter priority or aperture priority

1. Review of Compositional Elements :Composition

Focal Point: The subject or object you want the viewer to focus on, Every good photo should have a focal point. The focal point will lood better and stand out when you have a decluttered or clean background.

Rule of thirds:The rule of thirds is a composition guideline that places your subject in the left or right third of an image, leaving the other two thirds more open. While there are other forms of composition, the rule of thirds generally leads to compelling and well-composed shots.

Centered Composition: Centre composition: The most powerful way to draw attention to your main subject. As the name suggests, in the centre composition, the main subject is placed smack in the middle of the image frame. Use when you have a symetrical shot or a reflection shot. DO NOT OVERUSE

Introduction to Composition

Partner Interviews

Rule of Thirds: 2 photos that show rule of thirds

Composition is the strongest way of seeing. —Edward Weston

A good photograph is knowing where to stand. —Ansel Adams

Composition noun com·po·si·tion : the way in which something is put together or arranged : the combination of parts or elements that make up something.

Welcome to the wonderful world of photographic composition. In its most general terms, photographic composition is the art of composing an image through framing. And there exists the problem. How is it that one thing that almost everyone agrees is critical to the success of a photograph is completely subjective—an art unto itself? Composition is in the eye of the artist, however we know there are many techniques to help with good composition.

You Create Composition

There are three basic ingredients to a good photographer: knowledge of camera, an eye for composition, and artistic vision.

Today’s cameras have such amazing technology that they can do everything but make a great photograph for you. That “but” refers to composition. Composition is the aspect of the medium that is 100% dependent on your efforts as the photographer. It is the one part of photography that the camera cannot do on its own. Therefore, good composition is not something that can be achieved by expensive photography gear alone. Along the same lines, you may have the most astute eye on the planet, but, without the aptitude to effectively use your camera, you may lack the ability to make the photograph that you perceive in your mind’s eye. Photography is a technically based art form. Even the world’s best composition can be ruined because the image is out of focus, badly over- or underexposed, or the victim of some poorly chosen camera settings.

Intro to Photo 11/12

Intro to Photo 11/12

Photography is not about the camera but how you use the camera. You can have an expensive camera and still take bad pictures. The focus of this course is not on the many technical aspects of how to use a camera but rather on how to compose great shots and extending your knowledge into creating using photography as a medium. 

We will be learning how to use and expand the use of Photoshop and other editing programs to create advertising, a magazine cover, videos, and conceptual photographic art. ( more for grade 12's )

The visual world is becoming part of our everyday life. Most people on the internet are focused on photos and video to get across ideas. Logos and photos are an instant way for people to get an idea across. It is important for young people to be able to navigate the ever increasing world of visual literacy.

Requirements of this course:

• a decent digital slr or camera phone for taking photos, school cameras will be allowed to go home with permission.
• a usb drive and/or an extra phone cord for use at school for transferring photos 
• a card reader/phone cable at school for transferring photos to the school computer
• a 16 gb card that can be used for taking photos with the school camera
• the ability to use some of your time to take photos outside of school 
• a desire to learn and grow through digital media
• ability to work with others and be a good model
• time management skills
• You may want to install the Flickr app on your phone for faster digital uploads, but this is not a requirement

Assessment:

This course is assessed based on student's ability to push boundaries, meet assignment deadlines and progress in their ability to become better photographers/videographers and visual artists. Students are expected to push themselves at the level they are at to improve and produce quality work. A high standard is expected, and poor quality work will not be accepted. You will be asked to Re-do an assignment if it does not meet expectations. 

FYI:

Photos showing as HEIC instead of JPEG/JPG Sync uploads the photos as they are saved on the device. With the release of iOS 11, Apple replaced JPEG with a new image format called HEIC.

What is HEIC? HEIC is the file format name Apple has chosen for the new HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) Standard. Using advanced and modern compression methods, it allows photos to be created in smaller file sizes while retaining a higher image quality compared to JPEG/JPG. This new file type, however, may not be compatible with all devices. Even earlier versions of OS X (pre-High Sierra) will not be able to open HEIC files by itself.

To set your Apple devices to take photos in JPEG/JPG instead of HEIC:

1. Go to Settings
2. Tap Camera
3. Tap Formats
4. Tap Most Compatible

Let's get to know you. Partner Interview

1. Why are you in this course?

2. What type of photography is your favourite?

3. What brand of phone do you have?

4. What is your favourite food? ice cream ?

5. Tell us anything else interesting about you.Hobbies, culture etc.

Group brainstorm: How is Photography used in our world today?

As photographers and videographers we are learning to embrace the technology for multiple uses in our world. List some of the potential jobs someone with photo experience could get...or put another way what jobs involve a photo or videography skillset?

Street Photography: Alan Schaller

 Please work on the assignments that need to get marked. I am wanting to see people's clips for their videos by Wed at the latest. I am looking for 10 clips to give you a process mark.

 I will also be staying after school on Tues to mark Black and White photos and Product Shoots. These assignments should be on the M:drive in the assignment folders for term 2. They were due before Christmas so at this point you have already been given an extra 2 weeks. If they are in your student folders move them over for marking today. You may end up losing some marks if they are not fully completed or receive an I form which requires notification to your parents. But you need to move on to the video. Remember something done or attempted is better than nothing done at all.

You have a week and 2-3 days until your final video is due for marks in this class. There should be no time to waste. If you have a decent number of light photos move on, the video is worth  40 marks, light photos are only worth 15 marks. As a reminder you have known about the video since October.

Fri Jan13 Annie Leibovitz

 Annie Leibovitz, (born October 2, 1949, Waterbury, Connecticut, U.S.), American photographer renowned for her dramatic, quirky, and iconic portraits of a great variety of celebrities. Her signature style is crisp and well lighted.

In 1970, while still a student, she was given her first commercial assignment for Rolling Stone magazine: to photograph John Lennon. Three years later Leibovitz became the publication’s chief photographer, directing her energies toward a unique presentation of the major personalities of contemporary rock music. In 1975 she documented the Rolling Stones’ six-month North American concert tour, during which she shot several widely reproduced photographs of guitarist Keith Richards and lead singer Mick Jagger. (She also became addicted to cocaine, a habit she kicked some years later when she joined the staff of Vanity Fairmagazine.) Perhaps her most famous work from this period is a portrait of Lennon and Yoko Ono that was published on the cover of Rolling Stone in January 1981. In the picture, shot mere hours before Lennon’s assassination, the singer-songwriter is nude and wrapped like a fetus around his fully clothed wife.
