photograph

In this project, you will be applying the aesthetic media techniques you have learned in each chapter by providing examples.

Start taking photos with your digital camera or smartphone, and uploading them on powerpoint presentation (2 photos each per slide with) along with detailed descriptions of the photos.

Please see below the lists of techniques you need to include in your powerpoint presentation. You will need to take photos to represent the technique. Your photos must be original photos taken by you. If you scoop the photo from Google Images or elsewhere, this will be considered plagiarizing – and will result in you failing the assignment entirely. Your assignment is to provide examples, just like the ones in the textbook photos, and write a short description under photo to describe how selected technique is used to communicate mood, emotional state, situation, storyline ambience, etc.

Please be mindful that this is neither a photography class nor a video production class. In this course, you will simply learn basic techniques related to media aesthetics. You will not only be able to recognize these techniques in everyday media environments, but you should able to demonstrate mastery of these techniques in your photos.
