Final Project

Photo 101: Beginning Photography

Working in Series (Traditional)

SUBMIT
• 4-6  Window Matted Images 
• 2-3 Contact Sheets

Applying skills and techniques learned in previous projects, create a cohesive set of photographs that work together as a series, chronologically, connected visually, or united by a common concept or idea.

In developing your concept, consider the following:

·      Do the images work as a series in tonal range, exposure and composition? Do they look like a series?

·      Do the images work together to create a new meaning or understanding that would not be possible with single, separate images?

Work in progress critique:

Project Due:

8x10 inch prints or larger/minimum 4 images.

All work must be window matted.

Window Matts Material for Final Project

Window Mat (FINAL PROJECT)

Materials needed for final project

11 x 14 inch white boards

* You will need between 10 - 12 boards.  I recommend you share a package.

Image Design Assignment

Design concepts to be used in 36 roll of film

•  Foreground/Background
•  Simplicity
• Rule of Thirds
• Shape
• Line
• Balance
• Framing
• Avoid Mergers
• Repition
• Positive / Negative Space
• Emphasis
• Contrast
• Perspective & distance

Applying skills and techniques learned in previous projects, students will creatively design their imagery to communicate visually. Students will learn image composition through framing, line, shape, pattern, color, and content in coordination with exposure and equivalent exposures.

Shooting
Assignment:

Use image composition and 2 dimensional design concepts to enhance image quality. 

Shoot a minimum of 1 roll 36 exposure film.

Submit 1 contact sheet and 3 5x7inch images. 

For
each
frame:

1.Find a camera angle, focal length and framing that demonstrates strong compositional choices and design skills within the image.

2.Choose an exposure that produces the desired tonal range. 

Recommendation: In each scene shoot several versions so that you can choose the best final image. Frequently it is the second or third composition that works best.

Have 5x7 inch prints made of all images. Choose your 3 best. No corrections should be made to the images. Prints must be labeled to correspond to the exposure notes.

EXPOSURE NOTES

1. State most important composition/design idea that can be found in the image. 

Example 

1. Framing the subject

2. Backgrounds

3. Spot and line

4. Shape and pattern

5. Emphasis and balance

6. Perspective & distance

7. Contrast
