Goal: This assignment will exercise your skills in image selection and sequencing for a group of photographs. You will also have an opportunity to enjoy the fun of assembling a book (PDF and/or print)
Phase 1: In-Class Monday.
- Shoot quick theme and Group Call and Response Chain images (bring cameras)
- The class chain sequence will be used to demonstrate some strategies for organizing a book sequence/image running-order
- Determine optimal sequence for a group of your own images (bring RAW and/or full resolution photoshop files for all Project 1 and Project 2 images)
- Place images in book pages using Lightroom
- Learn how to create PDF output of your book and/or place an order for a printed book
Phase 2: In-Class Wednesday (extending into homework).
- Create an optimized sequence of a group of your images (from in-class images from Monday or from Projects 1 or 2)
- Flow the sequence into book form. Consider facing pages and blank pages.
- Receive group feedback
- Generate 1-2 alternate sequences
- Create book cover
- Finalize output to PDF and submit to UA box
In-Class shooting:
- Prompt: individually, create a group of photos about one thing/subject/idea that are visually and conceptually related. Take 5-10 minutes to explore/decide. Take 20 minutes to shoot. Shoot anywhere between Gorgas library and the Student Center.
- Meanwhile, participate in the Group Call and Response Chain, when it is your turn. Briefly come out of your personal shooting, contribute to your call and response, share your image with the next person, and then go back into your shooting.
- Group Call and Response Chain:
- The first person on the list: make an interesting photograph
- The first person then finds the next person on the list and shares the image with them. Spend a minute or two on the sharing
- The 2nd person on the list identifies one specific thing about person 1's picture that "calls" to you. Maybe it's a shape, color, facial expression, etc.
- Person 2 then makes a picture that is a direct "response" to the specific feature of interest in person 1's picture. It might reference that shape/color/facial feature, or play against it.
- Person 2 then shares their resulting picture with person 3, to set up another call and response
- Person 3 then shares their resulting picture with person 4, to set up another call and response, and it goes on until the cycle is complete.
