The written response to "A Young Father's Balancing Act" was due yesterday. Thank you for everyone who sent it along by midnight. If you received extended time, it is due by the close of class today.
There were many thoughful responses, but I wanted to share with you one that considered how both the writing and images impacted the photo essay.
The
contributing photographer focused on Britton and his accomplishments in regards
to his daughter. Britton’s family gets more of the attention than Britton in
the photos, despite Britton being the main subject. Britton’s face is turned
to, or hidden by, his family in most of the photos. This shows the emphasis
both the photographer and Britton placed on family. Despite being titled “A
Young Father’s Balancing Act”, the full idea of balance is more implied than
showed. We do not see Britton working in any of the photos. The captions inform
us of his hard work, but we only see him after the end of the workday. The real
purpose of Britton’s life is not work: it is family. We do not see where
Britton lives or works, only the Colon’s house. As the home of his daughter,
the Colon house is perhaps even more important to Britton than his own is.
The
piece is respectful to Britton by recognizing his dedication to his daughter.
The photo-essay ends on a quiet moment of reflection. Britton, wearing a suit,
sits with his daughter after receiving the “Father of the Year” award from the
Bronx Fatherhood Program. Britton’s graduation from this eight-month long
program captures all of his dedication and success in one moment. The essay
does not emphasize Britton’s young age. Britton’s life before is daughter is
ignored completely. As a young adult with one child, and another on the way, we
see a dedicated father working hard to earn a living for his family.
Please read carefully!
Today is an exploratory day. Within the last 5 minutes of class, hand in a list of three photojournalists that you have written on the 3 x 5 card I give you. I'll let you know which one is yours tomorrow The objective is not to have duplicates. If you have not made a selection, I will assign you one.
I will not accept your choices until the end of class!
1. Spend today exploring the works of the following photojournalists. The list is by no means exhaustive, so you might have some ideas of your own. As material can seemingly become copyrighted over night, make sure that you have access to the work.
2. Choose three that appeal to you and write down their names in order of preference. Write it on 3 x 5 card I'm handing you. (Don't forget to put your name on the card)
3. Tomorrow I'll post who you will be researching. There should be no duplicates. If you did not give me a name, I'll assign you one.
4. On Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday you will have time in class to research and organize your project, which will consist of:
a. Researching the biographical information on your journalist, noting significant influences in their work and philosophical perspectives. You must use three sources. Include correct citations at the close of your writing. (Forgot how to do this? ( http://www.citationmachine.net/mla/cite-a-book or http://www.easybib.com )
You will use this information to write a 250 word background report on your selected photojournalist.
SEND THIS TO ME BY THE CLOSE OF CLASS ON TUESDAY, MAY 2, after which this is worth only 50 points, with the exception of those who receive extended time, who may send them along on Wedesday. However, no one will have access to a computer on Wednesday.
b. Creating a power point or Prezi presentation consisting of six slides: a title slide that includes an image of the photojournalist with his or her name and life dates and a quote from the photographer (that is all on this slide), followed by 5 images taken by the journalist.
That is a total of 6 images....no more, the first being a picture of your photojournalist, with life dates and a quote, followed by 5 images that only contain the cutline. Only one image should be on a slide, not a compilation.
c. Class presentation. These will take place on Wednesday, May 3, Thursday, May 4 and Friday, May 5.
With accompanying notes only (no reading from a text), you will give an historical overview of your journalist, noting particularly the significance of their work. As well, you should be able to accurately and objectively describe the images, as well as putting them into historical context and location.
Your analysis point for each of your five images is as follows:
1) type of shot: close up, medium range, establishing
2) what has been selected or deflected and why
3) how one of the following photographic techniques has been employed: line (how creating movement), symmetry, phi grid / rule of thirds, texture, depth of field, horizon line, camera angle (specifically), lighting (position of light,raking, silhouette. natural, artificial)
4) Be able to answer the question, why does the image works.
Note power point attributes: NO WHITE BACKGROUNDS
On the slide with the picture of the photographer, you must include a quote from the photojournalist.
One very large image per slide and a cut line only.
Remember that the point of a power point / prezi is to support you and your knowledge. Know your material and talk about it. You may use notes, but should absolutely not read off a piece of paper. Engage the audience through your body language, eye contact and voice. If you are prepared, this is very easy.
Again, presentations are . We'll go by volunteers first and then I'll call on you. Wednesday, May 3, Thursday, May 4 and Friday, May 5.
So what and when does everyone need to turn in?
1. On Tuesday, send along your biographical paragraph with proper source citations. (See above.) Wikipedia is not acceptable.
2. When you present, turn in your graphic organizer, a copy of which is located at the end of this blog. Print out two copies of the filled-in organizer- one for me, another for your presentation. Reminder: you will not have access to a computer from Wednesday through to the following Monday.
3. On Wednesday, May 3, you should be ready to share out your power point to the class.
Everyone is expected to an engaged audience member. Those who are absent must make sure that their legal absence is listed with the office, otherwise, the project is late.
Possible topic choices. If there is someone else you wish to research, please let me know.
