Assignments
1)Workbook: Your workbook is like a sketch book. In terms of film photography
it contains information on the research you did on technical questions,
including types of film, test shots/test prints, planning sketches, lighting
sketches, budgets etc. In relation to your digital work, the workbook
contains notes on what settings, filters, etc. that you used.
You will also be assigned exercises for your workbook. The idea is that
the book is useful for your instructors to see both your technical and
conceptual development and it is also useful for you to develop ideas
and be clear about your technical process. Label everything or we won’t
know what we are looking at.
2)Further investigations: your workbook must reflect further (reasonably
developed) investigations which you have pursued in two of the areas introduced
(lenses, lighting, different types of film, different shooting conditions,
close up, macro, underwater, different camera formats, etc.) in class
or which are relevant to your individual projects . Therefore your workbook
will show further experiments with outputting to transparency, film, tiled
images, prints on different types of material,, series, sizes, resolutions.
These may be individual experiments or work which informs your mid-term/final
piece.
3)Readings/notes on readings: During the semester you are required to
read and take notes on two the readings on reserve in the library. Notes
should be neatly written if not typed. Notes should be approx. 500 words
per reading, point form is fine, quotes are OK, but try to express in
your own words as well.Use images, sketches, clippings, be visual.
4)Short in class quizzes
6)Mid-term and final work: A piece or body of work which reflects your
committed engagement with the ideas and techniques offered in the class.
An ongoing investigation of your medium as well as a development of individual
subject matter. The piece should be ready and installed for crit. Your
preparedness is part of your grade.
