This Unit was learning to create a photo essay. Telling a story through photos. Putting words and images together.
Assignment 1 was to produce a one photo and caption up to 3 sentences in length. Assignment 2 was to produce a 7-10 page photo essay. Half of the photos had to have been taken by me whilst doing this Unit. Lucky we had a weekend camping trip planned.
The Unit covered Composition and design - Rule of Thirds, Leading Lines, Symmetry, Pattern and repetition, Framing and Filling the frame.
Colour terminology - Hue, saturation and brightness.
Strategies for using colour effectively - Adding a pop of colour or pairing up complimentary colours on a colour wheel.
Tips for writing Captions - Captions should be written in complete sentences. A sentence should always contain a verb and a subject. 'Tense' tells us when the action took place. Don't state the obvious. An example of this we were given - Last Thursday there was a beautiful sunset or The sunset last Thursday made me hold my breath for a moment or Sunset makes the water blush. The caption doesn't have to be informative, instead it can just be to enhance the meaning of the image.
