Quick discussion: List everything you can think of that would look interesting if you looked up close at it. Think about different types of nature and man made objects to get you started. You are learning how to explore a topic through initial research. To be successful, keep your ideas really wide and varied - explore everything you can think of! When choosing images, focus on photographs that inspire you and that might give you ideas later in the project. Create a PowerPoint for researching your first project. Include the following slides: Slide 1. A mind map or list of everything you can think of that links to your title. Present this as you wish, but break down everything you think of. For example: Close up -> Nature -> Insects -> Nests -> Insects carrying things Slides 2 and 3. Pages of photographs of all different types of close up things that inspire you. Add a sentence next to each image that explains briefly what it is that you like about the image - for higher marks try to refer to the formal elements and other things you have learnt so far in photography. Save your PowerPoint Change the name of your 'first photoshoot' page to Project 1: Close Up Save your PowerPoint as a JPEG then upload to the top of your close up page using a Slideshow element.
