YOUR FINAL EXAM PROJECT- "Same Subject, Different Day"

"SAME SUBJECT, DIFFERENT DAY"
I am going to go ahead and give you the directions for your final exam project so you can start.
Select a subject. It can be a person, place, thing, or an idea. Over the course of the semester, I want you to take a series of photographs of your subject in different circumstances. If you select a moveable object- bring it with you and take pictures of it in different settings and surroundings. If you select a stationary object, such as a place, you will take photos of that place at different times of day, different seasons, different weather conditions, etc. 
Don't just take a single photo per day- take multiple photos and select the best ones. 


What are you going to turn in?
Remember how you had to purchase clear sheet protectors? This is what you are going to use them for!
When you have finished taking all of your photos, select your 12-15 best ones. Have them printed professionally in an 8x10 format. Put them in the clear sheet protectors, arrange them in a chronological order or an order that shows progression, and then put them in a three ring binder. You will turn this in on your exam day!! (Seniors that qualify for exemption still take pics and turn them in, but aren't required to attend critique on the exam day)
Remember, I am looking for thoughtful compositions that are both artistic and representative of your photo terms. These photos should display clear understanding of both composition and technical skills that we will learn over the course of the semester. 


Totally confused? Here is a link to a photographer that did a great job of this project called "Same Hill, Different Day" {CLICK HERE}

Got it? OK GO!
