CREATE A PHOTO ESSAY ABOUT A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A STUDENT AT CCS
A photographic essay is a set or series of photographs that are intended to tell a story or evoke a series of emotions in the viewer. It allows the photographer to tell more than what is possible with a single image. Essays can range from purely photographic (no text) to photographs with captions, small texts or full text essays accompanying them. Photo essays are typically either thematic (addressing a specific topic or issue) or narrative (tells a story, usually in chronological sequence). Take a series of 10 photographs around the school and add text to them to create a photo essay about a day in the life of a student at CCS. Please photograph students, in the hallways or in classes or both. You could also photograph the gym, a class in session, the bathroom, the student lounge, the computer lab, any clubs in session, the outside of the building, the playground, music room, anything you want that helps someone who does not go to this school understand what our school is like. Taking photos of the school's different teachers while they are working will illustrate their various personalities. A photo of the science teacher peering over a test tube or of the PE coach blowing a whistle can emphasize different roles without using words, which is one of the main goals of photo essays --- story telling without too much language.
You will be adding text to your photos to explain them. You will also be editing your photos and adding effects to them in Photocat. Take several shots of everything! Sometimes you have to take 10 pics or more of something before you get a good shot. You need a minimum of 10 photographs.
Your second photo essay will consist of 10 photographs plus text on a subject of your choosing. You can tell a photo story about a pet, a friend, a hobby, a dream you have, anything that relates to your life.
