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.
How to upload your photos To upload your photos you will need to plug your memory card into a card reader OR plug your cable into the computer and your camera or phone. Click into the drive via the computer icon, and change the view to thumbnails so you can see previews of your photos. Select your photos by holding down CTRL and clicking each one OR hold SHIFT and draw around the photos if they are in a block.
