Project BriefRationale:Visual recording is at the heart of the photography industry. It is the key for

photographers to realise what and how to record primary sources using thecameras settings and equipment to convey specific information. Different lighting tocreate mood,texture angle, colour and black and white imagery are all tools. Thisproject is designed to inform you of possible sources of recording, how to recordsuccessfully, look at working photographers and determine how they were achievedwith regards to techniques and equipment.The project requires you to considerVisual Language and how parts of thephotograph are included to convey a message. Your success in this project will be

determined on how well you use the information gathered from class lectures andresearch which is then put into your own practice.

Note: Place all written work and imagery used to complete the project onto yourPosterous Project Blog and in addition hand in the project in a work book.

If you lose your copy of the project it will be available on the First YearPhotography Blogphotographers-year-one.posterous.com

YourWorkbook and Project Blog should contain the following

Task One Research (Unit 1 P1,P3) (Unit 30 P1)

NCFE Working together Entry level 3You are required to research into the following areas of photography.

Exposure

ISO

Shutter Speeds

Aperture and Depth of Field

LensesYou should be looking at examples ofothers work and make

comments on how it may have been produced. This should include settings,equipment needed and subject matter. You should be making comments onhow changing individual settings affect the visual outcome of thephotograph. Work in groups to research the five areas listed above andproduce a Power-point. Allocate a task for each member of the group theneach fill out the Task Form provided.

Instructions below to be completed by each member on the Checklistprovided, to evidence NCFE Working Together, Entry Level 3.

Tasks for each member of the group should be as follows:As a group you all MUST contribute to setting the ground rules for working

with others and list suggestions for the task you would wish to take on 1.1, 1.21.

Researcher for Exposure (illustrations and text) 1.32. Researcher for ISO (illustrations and text) 1.3

3. Researcher on Shutter Speeds (illustrations and text) 1.34. Researcher on Depth of Field (illustrations and text) 1.35. Researcher on Lenses (illustrations and text) 1.36. Editor of imagery 1.37. Power-point producer1.3

At the front of the Power-point list which photographer worked on which

task. 2.3, 3.2Once the Power-point is complete, review the work and feedback to eachmember of the group. 2.2, 3.3

Task 2 Production(Unit 1 P1, P2, P3, M1)(Unit 30 P1,P2,P3 P4,P5, M2,M3,M4 D1,D2,D3)

You are required to produce a series of high quality, professionalstandard location photographs that show creative control of the cameraand associated equipment (lenses, tripods.) You should record the

equipment and settings used and theireffect on the visual image.

Exposure

ISO

Shutter Speeds

Aperture and Depth of Field

Lenses

Task 3 Independent Production(Unit 1 P1 P2, P4, P5, M1, M2 D1) (Unit 30 P1, P2, P3 P4,P5 M1, M2, M3, M4 D1,D2, D3)

For this task you are required to take inspiration from others work

and produce independent photographs that consider not only all the technicalaspects of photography but also how you can use them to convey a message(Visual Language). You are required to source locations that allow you tosuccessfully produce innovative, exciting, photography that shows a high levelof creativity and independence.

Task 4 Evaluation (Unit 1 P3, P4, M2, D1) (Unit 30 P4, M2, M3, M4, D1,D2, D3)The evaluation of each section should show a clear understanding of

the production of your own work in comparison to published examples oflocation photography. You should explain and review your work coherentlypointing out the successes and errors suggesting possible areas ofimprovement. Critical analysis of both technical aspects and visualcommunication.
