REVIEW

1. You will need to know how to write a correct caption. Remember its 2 and ONLY 2 sentences .

Caption Rules:

1. First sentence includes major information about the photo (who, what, where, when, why, how). You may make up the information for this assignment.

2. First sentence should be written in present tense as if the action of the photo is still happening.

3. Second sentence should be past tense, and should include background information.

4. Information in caption should not be obvious by looking at the photo.

Pick a couple of photos and write captions for them. There are already captions there, don't copy them. You can make up names and situations if necessary. Post the photo and the caption on your blog.

Family member of Michael Brown sobs erratically at his funeral. The case in Ferguson has 

cause uproar amount many family members and friends.

2. You will need to know all the rules of photography and be able to explain them. Here are the rules again:

1. Rule of thirds-the subject of the photo is not exactly in the middle of the photo itself but on the side which leads the viewers eyes across the photo.

2. Balancing Elements- the two subjects in the photo balance each other out.

3. Leading Lines- lines in the photo lead the viewers eyes to looking at the subject of the photo and the whole photo itself. 

4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)- the subject of the photo has patterns in it or re occurs in the photo. 

5. Viewpoint- can be worms eye (below subject), birds eye (above subject), or regular point of view. 

6. Background- the background sets the photo and should not take too much away from the subject itself and should compliment the subject.

7. Create depth- there is a foreground, mid ground, and back ground in the photo that leads the eyes throughout the photo. 

8. Framing- the subject of a photo is being framed by another source in that photo that adds more emphasis to the subject. 

9. Cropping- the subject is cropped or partially cropped in the photo that may add more emphasis to certain parts of the subject. 

10. Mergers and avoiding them- mergers are parts of a photo that takes the eyes away from the subject or when they distract, they can be half of a face taken unintentionally or for example a tree branch that looks like it's poking the subject. To avoid them a photographer should make sure that there are no distractions to the subject. 

3. You will need to know and understand Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO.

4. You will need to know and be able to explain the ethics of manipulating photos in photoshop and what is acceptable and what is not acceptable.

On your blog tell me what is acceptable and what isn't.

5. You will need to be able to explain the three types of portraits you read about – Environmental, Self and Casual.

Environmental- the environment of the photo relates with the subject.
Self- a picture that a person takes of themselves.
Casual- more of a "Kodak" moment photo or isn't posed.

8. Finally, we will be asking you to read about a current event that happened last year with a New York Post photographer. It will be a longer reading and there will be a multi-part series of reflective questions. This will be extra credit on the exam, so if you struggle with the above ideas/questions – you should plan to do this part. It could be the difference between an average grade and a very good grade.
