Assignment 4
Goal:
to make aesthetically striking images using motion while covering human interest events
Turn in:
8 photos
Guidelines:
I want to you demonstrate that you know how to 1) control motion and 2) use motion creatively
Be creative in working with freezing motion and creating blur – but all your creativity should be INTENTIONAL and MEANINGFUL.
You should demonstrate at least one image of each of the following:
freezing fast motion
intentionally creating blur with a moving subject
intentionally creating blur with panning
zoom, spiral, or long exposure (3 seconds or more)
Your images should be made in the context of reporting news/telling a story - find candid, newsworthy scenes!
you should ONLY use manual controls
you should adhere to photojournalistic standards and ethics
Grading:
this assignment is worth 100 points within your “Photo Assignments” category
grading will be based on:
technical standards – correct exposure, focus, sharpness (motion blur should be intentional!)
composition – eye-catching, pleasing, makes sense
editorial content – Continue to look for stories. Do not submit still life photos, empty landscapes, empty streetscapes, etc. Your photos should tell a story and mean something. You should be able to say WHY each photo is meaningful or important (and you can do this in the second sentence of your caption).
captions – all photos have AP-style captions that tell the viewer who, what, when, where, why
adherence to instructions – photos are on time; named correctly (last name_first initial _ assignment number_sequence); and placed in correct folder
