Welcome Back, I hope you all had a fabulous Easter break and are rested and restored back to full brain capacity!
Working in your teams todays focus is on making sure all your planning is in place for your photoshoots.
By the end of the lesson you should have all 5 of your themed shoots planned and either underway or on the way to being started,
Include all your planning on pre production, then move on to start adding your first shoot to this page.
Your first shoot will then need to be refined, you should focus on reshooting or editing and logging all of your process on here.
I EXPECT MORE THAN ONE PHOTO FROM EACH SHOOT!!
For each shoot you should show initial images with annotations, both good and bad!
You need to show development of your images and expand editing using industry language
If you need to reshoot you must do this ASAP.
