Today you are learning how to edit a photo effectively using photoshop, and how to present your edits. Open photoshop. Select a photo that represents leading lines and open it in photoshop. Make this photo black and white by going to image, adjustments, desaturate. Then edit the contrast by changing brightness and contrast. Save the photo as a Jpeg - first edit. Under your gallery, put a title 'Editing Leading Lines' then two image boxes below it. Upload your edited photo next to the original then explain what you did using key words. Example: Editing Leading Lines I have edited this image by desaturating the colour to make it black and white. I have then increased the contrast for bolder leading lines in the photo. Repeat this for different images: Rule of thirds - Increase saturation and change the hue - go to image, adjustments, hue and saturation. See what happens! Symmetry - Add a filter to the photo. Go to filter, filter gallery, and choose one that you think makes the photo look effective. Negative space - Go to image, adjustments, curves, then drag the line around to change the brightness and contrast. Save when you think it looks good then upload. Balance - Invert to swap the colours completely. Go to image, adjustments, invert. Then save and upload. Viewpoint - Change the Vibrance of your image - go to image, adjustments, vibrance. Drag the bars and save and upload when you are happy. For each image, ensure that you are including the original image next to the edit, and that you have a title and explanation for each one.

Read through the following on lighting in photography. Through this task you are learning about the different types of lighting in photography. You need to be able to use lots of different types so that you can choose the right kind of lighting for your photoshoot. The lighting in your photo can make or break your image! Put all of the following onto a powerpoint on different slides: TASK 1 - on the first slide: Carry out research into different types of lighting. Explore the following different types of lighting your subject in a photograph, the effect each one creates and when you might use it in your photography. Spotlight Side lighting Back Lighting Soft/diffused lighting Natural lighting Creative/unusual lighting For example: Window lighting - stand/place your subject near a window for natural lighting. This will produce highlights and some shadows, which will be softer rather harsh contrast. This will vary depending on the time of day and brightness of the room in contrast to outside. Bonus points: if you can find any 'tips for lighting' images, include these on your page to refer back to!
Preparing for your practical lesson When Mr Field is back in school. To apply what you have learnt through this task, you will take a range of portrait photographs using different lighting. To prepare for this, find some guides on portrait photographs eg. ideas for facial expressions, body language, poses, props etc. Copy and pastes your images under the title 'Ideas for Portait Photographs'.

Please take 6 photographs of the same person, with each photograph using different lighting. Vary your distance from the person, their expressions, their poses etc. Save these to a new slide on your powerpoint. Click the yellow writing at the top of the page then log into your Weebly account. Add a title of 'Key Words' under your other work on your skills development page. Under this, add a text box. To get a C or above in photography, you must use key words. Not only must you use them, but you need to understand them. Research the meaning of all of the following words and write a definition about their use in photography in your own words so you fully understand them. Start with this list, we will add to it throughout the year.

Discuss: What makes a good photograph? Begin by adding a new title within 'Skills Development'. 'Formal Elements'. Next, read through the PowerPoint below to help you understand what formal elements are. - Colour - Line - Tone - Texture - Pattern - Composition Example Lighting (About the formal element) Lighting is a good tool for changing the way your subject matter is viewed, and can be effective in creating a mood or atmosphere, or drawing the viewer's attention to a certain area of your photo. There are different types of lighting that you could use in photography such as using the flash on your camera, a spot light or natural lighting. Depending on the situation, you would vary the type of lighting you would use. This image for example, has been lit using a spotlight as it has strong lighting. Using a window for natural lighting would be much less striking but softer and more natural. Going for gold (Analyse your photo for higher marks) This photograph is a good example of how lighting can be used effectively to enhance the subject that you are photographing. Here, the bold contrast between the dark background and the lighting from the back of the woman's face draws attention to the features of just one side of the face. This creates a mood or atmosphere. Use the link below to see how to lay out your page and what needs to be included. You will need to arrange a title, text boxes and images in a similar way so that you can effectively write about the different formal elements. Use the internet to help you research the formal elements and find at least 2 examples of each one. Save the example photos you find to a folder on your area. To upload a photograph, click the image box when it is in place, then drag the photo from the folder into the area where it says 'drag image here'. find an example of each of the following formal elements: - Colour - Line - Tone - Texture - Pattern - Composition Year 12 should also research: Lighting, framing, and viewpoint (year 10 you will do this later). Under each photograph, write the formal element title then a short paragraph about how to use that formal element to improve your photography skills. YEAR 10 Part one: Finish the powerpoint from today's lessons if you didn't have time to complete it, and upload it with a document block on your skills development page. Part two: Take at least 2 photographs to represent each of the formal elements that you have looked at. If you only have your phone, that's ok for now, but you must be able to get them onto the computer in Monday's lesson (or before). - Colour - Line - Tone/Lighting - Texture - Pattern - Composition Bring your memory card/usb in next lesson OR upload your photos to your area before next lesson.

You NEED a camera for this course, so please do get it sorted asap. You should have your powerpoint complete and 12 photos ready to upload. Follow the instructions to do this.
