Part 1: Planning

Part 4: Revising
You will be graded on each individual part.
Part 1:
What story are you planning on telling with photos? This part is entirely up to you. Here are 4 suggestions for you:
1. A sports team always needs a photographer (wrestling/basketball/track/volleyball etc)
2. Every shop, core, class within Jack James could always use a presentation that promotes their course (autobody, art, computers etc). Track a project through a shop for this idea
3. Graduation always needs photographers and having a presentation for the students would an excellent project (think video yearbook)
4. Yearbook photographers are needed and working on the layout is a good way to earn this credit
5. Anything else you feel could use having their story told
Submit your proposal verbally to MacLean, he will critique and give feedback.

Part 2:
Take the photos yo. Pay attention to composition and camera setting with your overall vision in mind.
Part 3:
Compile all your photos into a presentation. I strongly advise Adobe Lightroom, or Premiere. If you need to use an imac for imovie that is available as well. As a last resort, PowerPoint may be used. Degree of difficulty will be marked for program choice.
Part 4:
Submit to MacLean for critique and revisions. Complete revisions and hand final work in.
