This week your priorities are...
Blog Posts to make :
- define “identity” and explain how identity can be influenced by “place”, or belonging, your environment or upbringing /gender identity /cultural identity /social identity / religious identity / geographical identity / political identity / lack of / loss of identity / stereotypes / prejudices etc
2. Add a mindmap and moodboard of ideas and starting points, inspiration
Choose a range of photographers that you feel explore identity as a theme and create a CASE STUDY on Claude Cahun and then compare Cahun to a chosen artist (that will have an influence on your final outcomes re : MOCK EXAM)
3. You should have 2 x photoshoots complete and imported to Adobe Lightroom by the end of this week ready for the start of the Controlled Conditions next Monday 24th January…
File Handling and printing...
- Remember when EXPORTING from Lightroom you must adjust the file size to 1000 pixels on the Short edge for “blog-friendly” images (JPEGS)
- BUT…for editing and printing when EXPORTING from Lightroom you must adjust the file size to Short edge for “high resolution” images (JPEGS) like this…
- A5 Short Edge = 14.8 cm
- A4 Short Edge = 21.0 cm
- A3 Short Edge =29.7 cm
This will ensure you have the correct ASPECT RATIO
Ensure you label and save your file in you M :Drive and then coip across to the PRINT FOLDER / IMAGE TRANSFER
For a combination of images, or square format images you use the NEW DOCUMENT + PRINT PRESETS on ADOBE PHOTOSHOP to help arrange images on the correct size page (A3, A4, A5)
The process for your project should include blog posts 1-5 by the end of this week
- Mood-board, definition and introduction (AO1)
- Mind-map of ideas (AO1)
- Artist References / Case Study (must include image analysis) (AO1)
- Photo-shoot Action Plan (AO3)
- Multiple Photoshoots + contact sheets (AO3)
- Image Selection, sub selection (AO2)
- Image Editing/ manipulation / experimentation (AO2)
- Presentation of final outcomes (AO4) ENSURE THIS IS A SEPARATE BLOG POST
- Compare and contrast your work to your artist reference(AO1)
- Evaluation and Critique (AO1+AO4)
If you feel that need for help, come along to Camera Club on Wednesday Lunchtimes…
