Digital Photo 2 Mid-Winter Break Assignment: Sell me a neighborhood or city of your choice

Digital Photo 2 Mid-Winter Break Assignment: Sell me a neighborhood or city of your choice.

You are working for a Travel magazine and your job is to sell a city or neighborhood to prospective residents and travelers. Your pictures should show the variety of activities, neighborhoods, scenic locations, and cultural spots.

• Due at the end of the break is two contact sheets (48 pictures) full of pictures shot using manual adjustment methods.
• You must have at least one high-action shot, one landscape shot, one macro shot, and one bizarre angle or abstract shot (something arty).
• You will select 6 of the pictures to adjust and turn in as part of your magazine “photo spread”.

Composition to focus on:

• Color Contrast
• Tonal Balance
• Balance Mass
• Leading Lines
• Framing or Frame Within a Frame
• Interesting Pattern
• Selective Focus
• S-Curve
• Three objects creating a triangle

Animation: SCNN Open Assignment

You are going to create an “Open” for SCNN.

Requirements:

• 20-30 seconds long
• motion tween
• shape tween
• sound effects,
• music
• at least 7 layers
• move a symbol along a motion path guide

Most importantly this video needs to get kids excited about watching SCNN. Use school colors if you can and even create school locations, teachers, students, clubs, and sports to make the video relevant to other SC students.

Motion Blur Assignment

 

Digital Photo 2 Motion Blur Assignment

In this assignment you will keep one item in sharp focus and have multiple objects in a motion blur behind or around a subject.

You can use people or objects as your subjects.

·      Tuesday and Wednesday are practice days on campus.

·      Thursday and Friday are out of class shooting days. You are encouraged to check out at TAP or lunch so you can get to a highly active and interesting location for your shoot.  

·      You must use the Shutter Priority setting on your camera (usually Tv or S).

·      You CAN shoot entirely in manual mode.
Please shoot at least 18-24 pictures. Try two or three locations within your area. For example, if you are at Pacific Place try three different escalators. Or if you go to Pike Place try three different spots there.

Hints and suggestions:

1. Try a variety of shutter speeds. I would try starting at something as quick as 1/20 and work your way down to a speed as slow as 2-4 seconds. (I am guessing that around 1/20 to 1/2 will work best, but that of course depends on lighting etc.)

2. Use a timer so your hands do not move the camera and cause your main subject to blur.

3. Use a tripod or keep your camera on something steady.

4. Shoot in a really interesting setting away from school. If you are using people as your subjects then shoot in a place that has a large population during your class.

5. Play dress up. Encourage your subject(s) to act as a character to make the picture even more interesting.
