PROJECT OVERVIEW (PDF description<\/a>) \u00a0(Word Doc description)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The purpose of this assignment is to get you used to using your camera – holding your camera correctly, playing with different apertures, reading your light meter correctly, and getting used to seeing the world through a viewfinder.\u00a0 We’ve spent several weeks gaining knowledge – identifying camera parts, learning how light-sensitive materials work, and gaining a basic understanding of how to read a light meter – now’s the time we take this knowledge and put it into practice by shooting our first roll of film!<\/p>\n

\"pentax\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For your first roll, take pictures of the following prompts in any order. \u00a0These prompts are focused on elements of photography that help you make more dynamic images: 1) focus, 2) perspective, 3) lighting and 4) composition. \u00a0We\u02bbll be exploring these topics throughout the semester to see how our image-making improves with a stronger awareness of these elements. \u00a0As you shoot, use your imagination and creativity and challenge yourself to slow down and find interesting ways to see\/frame the world.<\/p>\n

After shooting, we will learn how to safely and correctly process film in the darkroom, then go into how to properly operate enlargers to make prints with our resulting negatives.<\/p>\n

Good luck and Happy Shooting!<\/p>\n

FOCUS<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Freeze-Frame<\/a>: Set your shutter speed to 250 or higher to get a fast action shot<\/li>\n
  2. Purposeful Blur<\/a>: Set your shutter speed to 60 or 30 to record a fast moving object with slight blur, while everything else in the picture is sharp<\/li>\n
  3. Shallow Depth of Field<\/a>: Set your aperture to a wide-open setting (between f\/2 and f\/4) and take a close up of something.<\/li>\n
  4. Wide Depth of Field<\/a>: Set your aperture to the smallest setting (f\/16 or f\/22) and take a picture with something in the foreground and background.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    PERSPECTIVE<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Bird’s-eye View<\/a>: shoot straight down at your main subject from a higher perspective<\/li>\n
    2. Kid’s-eye View<\/a>: squat down to the height of a young kid and shoot your subject from an upward angle<\/li>\n
    3. Worm’s-eye View<\/a>: lay down on the ground or place your camera flat against a table and take a picture<\/li>\n
    4. Tilted Horizon<\/a>: Tilt your camera so your horizon line is at an odd angle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      LIGHTING<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Strong Shadows<\/a>: Look around you for (or create with a strong light) clearly defined shadows.<\/li>\n
      2. Angled Light<\/a>: Look for light (or shadows) shining from an angle. \u00a0This could be outside, or even light coming sideways from a window.<\/li>\n
      3. Soft Light<\/a>: Find soft, even lighting so that there is no harsh\/defined shadows on your subject matter.<\/li>\n
      4. Reflection<\/a>: Find a reflection<\/a> or reflected light.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        COMPOSITION<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Frame Within A Frame<\/a>: Find an object or piece of architecture to help frame your subject matter.<\/li>\n
        2. Line<\/a>: Find strong lines in your surroundings that help point to your main subject.<\/li>\n
        3. Fill Your Frame<\/a>: Get real close to your subject matter so that they fill the frame and only part of them are visible in your viewfinder.<\/li>\n
        4. Rule of Thirds<\/a>: Image a grid (like Tic Tac Toe) dividing your viewfinder and place your main subject along one of those lines.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
