Written Reflections for Projects

Every project that is posted on the class blogs should include a written reflection.  This can be either:

An overall reflection of the thought/creation process during the given project. Each student should also discuss their best image from your finished body of work.  

This reflection should include:

• Camera Settings and how they used to create specific effects in the image

• The Light that was used and the qualities that were beneficial to the image

• The Approach to the Composition (was this planned or just in the moment)

• Digital touch ups that were significant to the finished piece

• Final thoughts on the liking or disliking of the finished piece

Or

 

A detailed discussion for no less than 50% of the assigned number of photographs in the given assignment. (If there are 6 assigned photographs, a student must reflect on at least 3)

 

These reflections should include:

• Camera Settings and how they used to create specific effects in the image

• The Light that was used and the qualities that were beneficial to the image

• The Approach to the Composition (was this planned or just in the moment)

• Digital touch ups that were significant to the finished piece

• Final thoughts on the liking or disliking of the finished piece
