You will learn about some key techniques in photography: Exposure, Depth of Field, Shutter Speed, Viewpoint, Lighting, and Composition. Your workbook will demonstrate your understanding of the techniques, methods and ideas of your artist models as you analyse their work and create your own photographic drawings in response, this will provide evidence towards 2.2.
For this internal you will be taking all of your photos during class time. You will be completing a total of six photoshoots. Each new photoshoot will focus on a new convention, your teacher will do a workshop with you on each convention before you go and take your photos.
YOUR OUTCOME:
A4 VISUAL DIARY/GOOGLE SLIDES VISUAL DIARY SHOWING ARTIST MODELS & PHOTOSHOOTS
TASK 1: Exposure
TASK 1: Exposure
Our first photo is going to be based around learning about correct exposure and how to manage this in your camera. Your teacher will take you through how to control the exposure in your camera in class but you can also read about it by clicking on the image labeled Exposure below.
1. In class your teacher will give you a range of artist models to choose from (these are also listed below). You will need to complete an artist model analysis in your visual diary. Your teacher will take you through how to complete this, you can also look through the 'Artist Analysis' page to help you.
2. In groups of 2 - 3 you will be given a camera to go out and explore the school grounds taking a range of photos focusing on getting your exposure right. You need take an example of purposeful underexposure, correct exposure, and purposeful overexposure.
At the bottom of this page you can find a detailed list on how to layout your work book and a student example. You can also look through the teacher example in class.
Although you are working in groups, this is NOT a group assessment!
Each person in the group will need to take turns using the camera to complete their photoshoot. While the rest of the group is waiting they can either model or help position reflectors and props.
Each student needs to take a MINIMUM OF 25 PHOTOS for it to be considered a complete photoshoot!
TASK 2: Editing/Visual Diary Layout
TASK 2: Editing/Visual Diary Layout
Now that we have completed your first photoshoot it is time to go through your photos. Your teacher will take you through how to move your photos from your SD card on to your USB.
Open Bridge on you computer and create a contact sheet that includes all the photos you have taken. Your teacher will demo this to the class, you can also go to 'contact sheets' under the Tutorials tab to see how to do this. Print out your contact sheet/s and glue into your Visual Diary.
Using Bridge go through your photos and pick out 3 - 9 of your best photos. Edit these photos in photo shop and when ready, print them out and glue into your Visual Diary.
