Summative Marks

As you know, the summative mark in any course is worth 30%.

Since this course has no final exam, your final projects are your summative.

These are the two that were announced a few weeks ago:  your Song Imagery project and a final Photo Shoot.

 

Song Imagery is a much bigger project, but for those of you keen on submitting really excellent photos, here’s the deal:

·         You can choose what portion of the summative your Photo Shoot will be worth, either zero %, 5% or 10% of your final course mark.

·         This means you don’t have to do the final shoot if you want to focus all your energy on Song Imagery, which after all does include a lot of photography.  In this case, Song Imagery is worth 30% of your course mark.

·         If you want the Photo Shoot to count for 10% of the course mark (meaning the Song Imagery would count for 20%), you must submit 5 or more shots.  Choose 5% and it can be based on 2 shots.  Either way, they should be STUNNING, AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL shots that you took recently (in the last month) that haven’t been used anywhere else.

·         In either case, leave your final work (only – don’t include any other files) in the folder AWT4/Final Shoot.

·         This folder must contain 2 or 5+ high resolution (at least filling the screen) jpegs (NOT PSDs), each with a title and your name as a filename  e.g. Flying Cow- Joe Student.jpg

·         It must also contain a short writeup.  The best form of writeup is a quick Powerpoint.  You know the format by now:  a slide with the pic occupying the whole screen, followed by a slide with a smaller version of the pic and this info:

o   The title

o   The shooting date, time and exact location

o   Any explanation you want to give.  At least describe what we’re looking at – it’s not always obvious  e.g. my grandmother bathing her hamster under moonlight.  It’s to your advantage to say more, such as:

§  Technical tricks  e.g. enhanced lighting, long exposure

§  WHY you included the pic – what’s your point, why do you think it’s great (remember your photo principles?)

§  What processing you did in PShop

 

Song Imagery is well-explained in the project webpage.  Be sure to review:

·         What’s expected

·         What folders and files you must have (and not have)

·         How to produce something beautiful and get a higher mark
