LIFE CYCLES WEEK 2

PHOTOSHOOT NO 2:

Plan for another a photo-shoot that concentrates on a slightly different aspect of your theme . This could show objects as well as figures and use the location you have chosen in the best light.  Plan using storyboards showing extreme viewpoints - close ups, low angle, high angle, things in and out focus, shadows, lighting, action and movement.  

You will need at least 10-15 strong location images, you may need to take considerably more shots to achieve 10 good ones.  Try something different and consider the use of tripods, filters and wide angled, fish eye or macro lenses. 

As always make sure you print out wallet images of your unedited images and then larger prints of the edited ones that you feel are the most effective.

You  MUST annotate in your sketchbooks for unit 30 (Location Photography) so please do this as you go.  
Ensure you write about:

•       Why you have chosen this particular  location?
·                  Composition

•       Depth of field

•       Contrast

•       Texture

•       Colour

•       Sense of movement if appropriate

•       Framing and Subject placement- how have you placed your subjects with reference to the light source  and location

•       Lighting- spot lamp, soft, torch, natural.

LEAFLET RESEARCH

Find two examples of interesting leaflets and stick these into your sketchbook.

Answer the following:                                                   

•       How is colour, text and image unified?  Comment on the layout, composition, or transition.

•       Is there a regular position/scale/ for the text on the page?

•       How is the type face integrated or contrasted with the other imagery?

•       How is the front and back cover connected?

•       How many images are used?

•       What is the tone of the message? ie fun and feel good, shocking and serious etc

•       Can you explain how marks , symbols and images have they been cleverly put together?
