Week 7 and 8 Assignments
Tuesday, March 9, 2010 10:14Two blog posts are due before our next class. As we discussed, both are due Friday, March 19.
1. Shoot, edit and post five photos to your blog. The photos should be taken at some sort of newsy event or happening, though I’m very flexible on what event you choose to shoot.
You should shoot more than five photos (probably closer to 25) and select the best five. Remember the elements of good news photos we discussed: rule of thirds, capturing a moment, emotion, perspective and graphics when shooting and editing the photos.
When editing, crop, resize and correct levels.
The Photoshop tutorial and the elements of good photography tutorial are linked at right if you need a refresher.
For each photo, include a brief paragraph that explains how it meets one or more of the elements of good news photography.
2. Review your news organization’s use of Web video, paying particular attention to rule-breaking video. Are they pushing the envelope or sticking to standard stuff? Are they making use of user-contributed video?
