Final Choice Project
LT: I can use the elements, principles, and composition to take good photos. I can use the editing skills I have learned to enhance my photos. I can use lighting skills and manual mode skills to take photos
Students are going to use all they have learned in class to create their own project for the final project of the semester. Students will create a proposal to be approved by the instructor before executing the proposal. The final images turned in will be the best images of the chosen project as well as the contact sheet. The final images must be edited to enhance the quality of the photos taken. DO NOT TURN IN UNEDITED PHOTOS. DO NOT TURN IN PHOTOS THAT ARE OVER-EDITED.
Choice Board
Using the choice board below, choose one idea to base your project on in order to complete this project. Once you have an idea, start the project proposal.

Project Proposal
Using your choice or theme for the project, outline your idea using the project proposal. This must be turned in before taking any photos. Any project turned in that does not have a proposal completed will receive a 0 for a grade.
​
Do some research also, and find 3 articles (you will link these to your vision board). After reading the articles, include 5 things in your proposal that will help you during your project.

Vision Board
LT: I can show examples of what my final images may look like
Now find examples and photographers that take photos similar to what you are planning to do for this project. Create a vision board with a title and definition of your topic. Then include your plan/goals as well as 5 examples of your idea and 3 links to articles.
Photoshoot
LT: I can take photos based on my plan
After completing your plan and approval from the instructor, start taking photos according to your plan. As you are taking photos, you may refine your plan, but only after discussing it with your instructor.
You're required to take 50 photos minimum for this project. Remember this is not 50 unique photos, you will take 5 photos or more of the same thing, just at different angles. If you are trying to capture motion, you will have more photos.
Reminder, all photos should be taken at school, except for 15 that can be taken at home.
Contact Sheet
After taking your images, create your contact sheet. Make sure to turn in all the contact sheets. You should have a minimum of 2 contact sheets for this project.

Final Product to Turn In
LT: I can create a book of my final product work
We will use Canva.com for the final product once again, but in this case students will create a book of their work and the process for creating their work. Students will write about their idea, what they did and what they learned as well as post photos of them working and their best work. Click on link below to see more.
