Warm up: Sensory Overload

What do you think about this statement? I think this is a true statement and a very powerful message.
Do you agree or disagree? I agree completely with this statement.
As an aspiring photographer how does this make you feel about your photography? I feel like it is a cool picture because all you see is one thing. All the objects in each store is surrounding each person in the store.

2. When you looked through the images, did you want to visit this place and take your camera?I definitely wanted to visit the flower shop the most because it is so beautiful.

3. What do you think it would be like to be the child of someone who worked at this place? I would like it but, I kinda of feel like its creepy, because all there is in the place is, dolls, flowers, or just toys.

4. Describe your favorite photo to me. The picture with the beautiful flowers surrounding the girl in the shop. All of the flowers are very bright and colorful.

Learning How to Interview- Step 1

Assignment #1:

Topic: School Uniforms

The school board has decided to create a district wide policy of enforcing school uniforms. Who would you need to interview to find out more information about this topic? What are some good questions to ask? (This is theoretical)

1. List three different sources you could interview for this topic.
I think you should ask the school board, principal, teachers, or any dress code / ap officers

2. Create 20 questions you could ask each source and post them on your blog. It will be the same 20 questions for each, so you only have to think of 20 total questions.

~ How will these uniforms affect the students?

~ What is your reason for school uniforms?

~ What are the consequences for not wearing the proper uniforms?

~ If the students could wear accessories, what kind would be acceptable?

~ If the uniforms are different for boys and girls what will they look like?

~ What is your opinion on this matter?

~ How will you tell the students about the uniforms?

~ Will the uniforms be the same every day?

~ Who decided for school uniforms?

~ Will they be different for athletes?

~ What colors will be including on the school uniform?

~Will they be different for choir and theatre art students?

~ What will be the price of the uniform?

~ Who will be paying for these school uniforms?

~ What do you think the students outcome of the uniforms will be?

~ How did this idea come up?

~ Do students have any say in this decision?

~ Will this idea become permanent or is it temporary?

~ How will the dress code / ap act to the people who don't follow?

 

Architecture Shoot

Details

Light

Patterns

Angles and Shapes

Surroundings 

Architecture shoot preview 2

Details- This picture meets this prompt because it is very close up and focused on the building. You are able to see all of the little details on the building.

Light- This picture meets the prompt because at the top of the building the glass captured some light. This created a natural and dramatic scenery of the building.

Patterns- This picture meets the prompt because it has repeated lines on the inside of the house. This defines the large house with the repeated patterns throughout the house.

Angles and shapes- This picture meets the prompt of angles and shapes because the house is so unique from any other house . It isn't a regular house, they built this house with crooked roofs and windows which makes it look really cool.

Surroundings- This picture meets the prompt of surroundings because the image shows the house and what it is surrounded by it. The house stands out from how it is crooked and all of the lighting in it.

Phone Photo

Warm-up: iPhone photos

1. What is your favorite photo? Either describe it, or figure out a way to post it on your blog. 

 By: Renee M.

2. Does it seem like all of these images could have been taken with a phone? No, these photos look like they had to be taken with a professional, good camera.

3. How much do you think the apps some of the photographers used impacted the image? Im pretty sure they used apps, it made a huge impact because they do not look anything like a picture that was taken with a phone.

4. List two tips you think might help your own photography with a phone. The use of reflection and shooting from below helps make an i phone picture look amazing.

5. Here is my challenge to you - when you have me again in class (so Tuesday or Wednesday), figure out how to share a photo you took with your phone that shows that you took some care to use the skills you are learning in this class to make better images. Either through composition or by the use of an app to enhance your image.
