2. Explain how we use blogger.com in this class
We use Blogger.com to post blogs to show our assignments
3. Explain the process of creating a pinhole camera
first you begin lining the inside of the oatmeal can and the cap to the can. Making sure there isnt any cardboard showing, the you cut a square 1 and a half inch in the middle. You poke a hole into the black paper then you put a cover over the big square and the whole, a cover where you can peel away and place back without allowing light being shown in.
4. Explain how the pinhole camera works and how the image is transferred to the paper inside
You place the photo inside the can with the slick side facing the hole. The light shines in through the hole for a few seconds transferring the image onto the photo paper.
5. Know how to define and explain the 10 rules of composition, these 10 rules will be a MAJOR portion of the final and you better know how to recognize these rules, explain these rules and show me you understand them:
5a. Rule of thirds: cutting the photo into sections and being able to see an image in the section
5b. Balancing Elements: Elements on each side of the picture.
5c. Leading Lines: Lines that lead to the object.
5d. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition): a pattern in the photo.
5e. Viewpoint: from your point of view.
5f. Background/simplicity: focusing on one object of the photo.
5g. Create depth: Layers in the image.
5h. Framing: creating a frame that shows the main object of the photo.
5i. Cropping: cutting a section of the photo.
5j. Mergers and avoiding them: mergers are where you have something coming out the back of the object creating an unwanted photo.
6. Explain how action and emotion impact a photograph: an action and emotion impacts the photograph by showing that there is a meaningful story behind the photo.
7. Explain how a photo can "tell a story": when a photo has emotion you are wondering of the story behind it so your mind would run off with stories.
8. Explain what the word "multimedia" means and share some examples of how we have seen them in class (on the blog): multimedia means you have a slideshow (video) of photos and an audio playing in the background.
9. Know how to correctly write a caption. I HIGHLY suggest you rewrite the rules on your blog and find at least 2 photos on the internet, post them on your bwe have seen log and write correct captions for them. This will be a MAJOR portion of the exam as well.
10. Explain how "strong action" verbs enhance a caption: it enhances he photo because it shows us what is happening in the photo beyond the eyes.
11. Explain how ethics come into play in regards to photojournalism and compare and contrast this with fashion photography. You really need to get the idea that changing photos to fit a need or to make something look like something else is VERY unacceptable in photojournalism.
12. Explain the difference between a portrait and a self portrait.: a portrait is a photo taken by you of somebody else, and a self portrait is a photo of you.
13. Explain what characteristics of a good portrait are: the composition rules
14. Explain what the major differences are between newspaper and yearbook: newspaper is where you write and journal the event going on and yearbook is where you take photos and put photos together for the years to come.
Definitions you are responsible for (I highly recommend you post these on your blog with the definitions and make sure they are correct, many of the ones you posted on your blog previously were INCORRECT. All definitions need to relate directly to photojournalism. Example: many of you defined burning as "pain that feels hot as if it were on fire" , when the correct answer is "burning- increases the exposure to areas of the print that should be darker."):
1. Aperture: a hole which light travels through
2. Shutter: device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time
3. Exposure: total amount of light allowed to fall onto the photo paper
4. F-stop: focal length of the lens
5. Single lens reflex: camera that uses a semi-automatic moving mirror system that permits the photographer to see exactly what will be captured
6. Negative: inversion of a positive image
7. Positive: a photo that shows color of the photo
8. Contact sheet: images from a photoshoot in a sleeve
9. Agitation: keeping a chemical moving, helps speed up the development while processing film; prevents from spotting
10. Enlarger: projector used to produced photographic prints from film or negatives
11. Stop bath: chemical bath usually used in processing traditional black&white photographic films used after the material has finished developing
12. Fixer: chemical used in the final step in the photographic processing of film
13. Safe light: light source suitable for use in a dark room
14. Burning: increases the exposure to areas of the print that should be darker
15. Dodging: decreases the exposure for areas of the print that the photographer wishes to be lighter
5g. Create depth: Layers in the image.
5h. Framing: creating a frame that shows the main object of the photo.
