Goal: Working in a collaborative group, take turns shooting 35mm film with an SLR manual camera. Produce effective shots that address (1) composition, (2) proper exposure, (3) aperture priority & (4) shutter priority.

Directions:

1. Each roll of film contains 36 exposures.  Divide 36 by the number of students in the group to determine how many shots each student will take.
2. Students will carry a clipboard with them and document each shot taken.  A description of the subject matter, aperture and shutter speed combination should be documented. 
3. Students will be required to demonstrate a variety of techniques including: (1) Back lit Lighting, (2) Aperture Priority, and (3) Shutter Priority.  
4. Once the group film has been shot, the next step will be to load and process film.  Stay tuned for the next unit of instruction!!

Rubrics:
1. Student has successfully shot allocated film.
2. Students faithfully documented each shot taken on their clipboards.
3. Student has successfully shot mechanically sound negatives that are (1) properly exposed, (2) demonstrates aperture priority, (3) demonstrates shutter priority, (4) demonstrates back lit lighting.

Objective: To slice up and alternate 2 copies of a photograph to create an elongated  doubling effect.

Directions:

1. Create high resolution, original photos that convey energy, motion or the act of executing an action. Review photos and select one that you feel will be most appropriate for this project.
   
2. Ensure that the image is an even dimension in inches.
   

Forced Perspective!

Project Goal: Create a series of photographic illusions thats plays upon perspective trickery!  See examples below and be inspired with your own originality. Consider the use of props or natural elements found in nature.  For this project, its more about the way you align information and compose your photos.  Less about photoshop manipulation.  

Directions: Create 8 original forced perspectives. Four in school and four outside of school.  Consider using props for this project.  Use Photoshop to color manage and format photos.  We will not be cutting and pasting collaged information.  Instead, compose your subject matter and align so as to establish the forced perspective illusion.  

Rubrics:
1. Complete 8 original studies. Four in school and four outside of school.
2. Studies successfully create the illusion of forced perspective. 
3. Each study demonstrates original thinking.
4. Studies involves props. 
5. Works are high resolution, color managed and cleaned up for final presentations.
