"I always believed it was the things you don’t choose that makes you who you are. Your city, your neighborhood, your family. People here take pride in these things, like it was something they’d accomplished. The bodies around their souls, the cities wrapped around those. I lived on this block my whole life; most of these people have."

Photos near the school

Sad Playground :(

• You can complete this activity as an individual or as a group. If you work as a group, you may insert your group photos and respond to them individually.

• Aim to use A, P, TV or M mode for these photos, not auto. It will help you to capture lighting more deliberately.

• Your activity is to create a series of at least 4 photos that show a  local area (e.g. the lake, the LTC library, the school itself, Tuggeranong area, your bedroom or local suburb).

• Consider which of the following you want to show in your images:
  -The vibe of the place with or without people
  -The passage of time
  -An attitude that people have towards the place

• Consider how lighting, colours and compositional tools can help to portray this

Create a subpage under 'Class Projects' in your Portfolio called 'Place Narrative' Insert the photos that you have taken. Complete the following:

C level (ish)

• Create a contact sheet of all of your images and insert this

• Insert 3-5 photos individually that show the place the way that you wanted

• Include before and after editing and label them (if you edit).

• Provide dot points for I, M, M, E below the images For this task, that will look like:
  Intention - What did you want people who look at your photos to think / feel about the place you captured?
  Make - What subject and background did you use? How did you use white balance?
  Method - Which compositional tools did you use? How will they make people feel about your place?
  Evaluate - Do you think this worked well? What would you change?

B level (ish)

• Complete previous steps

• Insert 4-6 images you have created (before and after edits and labelled). 

• Turn your I, M, M, E dot points in to full sentences

• In your intention section, explain what theme means in photos and why photographers might make a place-based narrative photo series

• Include an  APA reference

A level (ish)

• Complete previous steps. Provide 6-10 images.

• Find an additional example of a place-based photo series and insert it

• Provide dot points for I, M, M, E below the images that note choices made to construct them

• Write a TEEAC paragraph and analyse what you like about the series that you have found and compare it to your own

• Provide multiple APA references

Modified Students

• A scaffold will be provided to you on our next page to respond to your images. For now, focus on:
