CLO: Students will participate in the creative process (creating) by using the appropriate photo technology, listening, reading or referencing tutorials to create 5 photos using rules of composition & photo narrative around a theme. WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING? I will be able to create a collection of "NARRATIVE" photos with my SLR /phone/Chromebook camera demonstrating the Rules of composition. THEME: A photo theme simply means creating a set of photographs that are related in some way, whether it be through subject, color or other repeating pattern. We will be focusing on subject. Use 5 photos of you choice to document and share your experiences during "The 2020 COVID-19 Quarantine". Your theme may be fun with family, cabin fever, sadness, joy, anger, fear, anxiety, tributes etc. HOW WILL I KNOW YOU GET IT? By creating photos with a theme or specific focus. I should get a pretty good idea about what the story is about before I read the description. The photos will tell most of the story or aid in creating a feeling or emotion. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? It helps to be able to take our own pictures for future jobs that may require us to do displays, flyers or update social media. Photos can help tell a story when the language between among viewers may differ. Theme helps us create focus on areas most important to the viewer. MATERIALS: Medium: Your SLR camera./phone/Chromebook camera Quarantine Theme to shoot Light and tripods use as needed. Write down data for each photo Software: Google slides, photoshop, Pixlar VOCABULARY: Show me how to: upload photo from your camera/phone/Chromebook and share on Google Drive folder in Classroom. Templates will be given in your Google classroom page. Know & show: Theme & Rules of composition!!!! PIXLR: Photoshop alternative for Chromebooks

"What is the story I want to tell?" A picture is worth a thousand words, so let each say as much as it can. A photo narrative (also visual storytelling) is a story told primarily through the use of visual media. The story may be told using still photography, illustration, or video, and can be enhanced with graphics, music, voice and other audio. A narrative is an account of an event or a moment in time, which makes photography the perfect medium for constructing narratives. Why is visual storytelling so important? We can discuss the importance of visual storytelling all day, but what do the facts show? Studies have revealed some pretty alarming statistics about the true impact of visual content:
In the midst of a culture so saturated with images and videos, if you’re not up-to-date on visual storytelling, you’re already several steps behind competing designers looking to make some headway in the industry. RULES TO KEEP IN MIND Tell the whole story: Beginning Middle & end Remember Visual Hierarchy To make a long story short (hah!) the most important items should be closest to the top of the screen and, generally, they should also be the biggest items that the user can see. Use Light to Your Advantage No matter the color palette that a scene might be in, people are keyed into the idea that darkness conveys mystery and danger. Brightness, on the other hand, offers both safety and a sense of importance. As you present the conflict or bully, use shadows or muted colors. Think about Color Psychology Colors offer tremendous expressive opportunities. The best visual storytelling comes when you plot out each “shot,” like a director: Part of that thought process should be the right color for the right emotion. Check the Power of color meanings here. Use Visual Metaphors to Make Meaning For example, a clock represents the passage of time, while dark clouds demonstrate that stormy times are ahead. Close with Your Strongest Image While a great first impression is essential, the final image someone sees will make or break a visualized story. When you save your biggest moment to the very end, users are more likely to act on your content. Check out this artist: Kate Woodman |
