ASSIGNMENT #1
Use your photo journal to record your responses: 1. What is the definition of LUCID? 2. Put lucid into thesaurus and choose 5 words that you are drawn to that are synonyms to the word LUCID. 3. Think about the words you chose and imagine potential photo shoots that could be created based on some of the thesaurus words for LUCID. Write your ideas down in your photo journal. Try to come up with 3 potential photo shoots. 4. The Due Date for LUCID is November 29th. This gives you 4 class periods to use to edit before it is due.. I will be checking in with my sub to see if there are students who are not using the time to work. 5. Create a plan for yourself including dates, to do list, lighting, models (if needed), and other considerations for ensuring your success. I will be checking this when I return. Looking at your schedule in the next week will be important for your success. |
