This will be essential in order for you to reach the higher marks, and you need to be confident with using technical language in order to communicate at the higher level in your written work. Add a heading below your last photoshoot of 'Movement'. you might want to change the size and colour of the main task headings so it is clear to see where your work changes. Carry out some research into aperture and shutter speed. Add a clear definition of both terms in your own words so that you have a good understanding of both. You can also add some examples or images like those above if it helps your understanding - they might be useful for later reference. Next, explore the following artists work. Include an example of their fast or slow shutter speed work then write a brief analysis of both photos. For higher marks, add an extra text box below and make comparisons between the two photographers approaches, focusing on their technique and creativity. Jack Long On Thursday's lesson you will experiment with different shutter speed techniques and learn how to use them effectively in combination with aperture. Bring your own camera if you would like support with using the settings. After this lesson, upload all photos into a gallery with a title above it called 'experimenting with shutter speed'. Write a short review of the task and what you learnt from it, along with reminders of how to get successful images the next time you use these techniques. Your homework is to take 15 (minimum) photographs using slow shutter speed and 15 (minimum) photos using fast shutter speed. You are aiming to represent movement creatively. Please upload your photos at home if possible into two separate galleries - with fast/slow shutter speed titles. Upload your shutter speed photos to your movement page under the title 'Experimental shutter speed photos' in a gallery as a contact sheet (5/6 columns). Write a brief reflection above your contact sheet on the photoshoot. Comment on the following: - Trial and error - Strengths and weaknesses - How you could enhance the way the photos show movement. This lesson, you are asked to plan a second photoshoot which uses fast and/or slow shutter speed, with a focus on showing movement as a journey. Consider what you will photograph, where, how, lighting, composition etc. On top of this, I'd like you to think about how you will edit your photos before you do the photoshoot. Find one or two photographers to inspire your work before you begin planning. Start by analyzing their work and the way they edit their photos, include the main photos that interest you on your movement page, then begin to plan your next photoshoot. You have today and tomorrow's lessons to do your artist research and plan your photoshoot in some depth. Ideally, this photoshoot will take place during lessons on Thursday OR it will need to be done on Wednesday after school. Upload your photos from your half term photo-shoot to your Journeys page using a Gallery element to create a contact sheet. Save your best photographs to your area so that you can edit them later in high resolution. Also ensure that your PowerPoint with your planning is added to your website (above your contact sheet) You now have today and tomorrow's lessons to edit your photographs inspired by your photographers and your planning. Refer back to skills development for the possibilities of Photoshop, plus go a step further and do independent research into other editing techniques. Youtube tutorials can be really useful for step by step guidance on how to do something on photoshop.
You are aiming to edit at least 2 photographs inspired by each photographer. To take this a step further, you could edit an additional photo that combines the styles of both photographers. When you have finished editing, upload your photos using single image elements, and keep your photos fairly large as they are the outcomes for this task. Write a brief evaluation to explain: - Considerations during the photoshoot - limitations, issues, surprises, trial and error etc. - Links to photographers and how they inspired your photos - How you edited, using technical terms - Strengths and weaknesses of your photos - Areas for development
