| The basic template for blog posts. |
Photo 455B/C assignments should be completed in the following blog format:
Ongoing photographic assignments will be given as “client briefs,” and require two parts, a “pre-project proposal” and a “Hero photo.” All assignments shall be submitted as blog posts on a public blog/website set up by you and shared with the instructor. Work will be graded from this online presentation. The blog will also be viewed and discussed in class as projected images.
- Part 1: All projects require a “pre-project proposal” post. (3 images + 200-300 words.)
- Part 2 “pre-project proposals” need to be approved by the client (professor) -send an email when your post is live for feedback from professor.
- Part 3: All projects require a “Hero photo” post. (Hero photo + Two supporting images and 200+ words.)
- Part 4: “Pre-project proposal” and "Hero photo” posts will be graded as one completed assignment.
Make all images 2048 pixels on the long dimension.
Pre-project proposal.
The “pre-project proposal” should be formatted like a public online blog post. Text length about 200-300 words. It includes a written description of the photo concept and at least three (3) supporting images illustrating the concept (sketches, tear-sheets, scouting photos, etc.). The detailed written “pre-project proposal” is required before each final photograph is begun. The client (professor) will review each “pre-project proposal” online and offer comments and suggestions and approve or modify the idea just like a potential “Client” world. Once your Pre-project proposal is uploaded, send me a link via E-mail. The client (professor) will give these comments and changes via e-mail and then the student should plan and create the final Hero photo from that new brief.
I’ll need about 24 hours to reply to your Pre-project proposal.
If you need your feedback in a hurry because of impending weather or access to models, let me know in the subject line of your Email.
HERO blog post.
The “Hero photo" post must obviously include the final “HERO” photograph requested by the client (professor) at the top of the post, in the highest resolution viewable by your blog. In addition, supporting information should include text of about 200+ words describing the execution of the Hero view with lessons learned, problems solved, delays encountered, frustrations, epiphanies, your ideas, inspirations and a description of how you would improve the photo if you were to do it again. Include at least two (2) additional images like lighting sketches, rejected frames, variations, “first-frame” photos, pre-Photoshop images, lighting-setup images, etc.Once your Hero is uploaded, send me a link via E-mail.
