Forms/Other Handouts

For Tomorrow, the final day, Thursday, June 19:

 

Final Single Assignment: An "event" happening in and around Mobile. You'll need 6 - 10(max) images on Power Point slides with a caption for each. Get in tight on people for most of your shots - expressions, postures, gestures, etc. Have them ignore your camera - no shots of your subjects looking into the camera. Use the JPEG format for bringing your images into Power Point. They don't have to be as detailed as a shot for printing but you can use the same dimensions if you wish. You just may have to be ready to squish the photo smaller to fit it onto a Power Point slide. Put everything on a CD - your original shots, your cropped and otherwise "fixed" shots and the Power Point program itself.

Other Work DUE Tomorrow: Two mounted photos of your choosing - anything you've done during this course for one or other of the assginments. Then at least one other photo, not mounted, but printed well and corrected as is advisable/necessary.

I will be here around 8:00 tomorrow but we will not come together until 10:00 to view your "event" Power Point.
