Goal:Â To think about how to make a visually interesting photo. To have fun. To think about how to use photos and multimedia tools to create a compelling storytelling presentation
Broken Screens
The world is full of broken smart phone screens – people drop their phones, we ran over my son’s iPod, the stories are as endless as the number of cracks in a broken iPhone screen.
Your job is to find two (2) people who have a cracked, broken, damaged screen.
Then, take their photo in an interesting way.
AND then, get a short quote or description of how it happened, or why, or something that captures the moment.
PLUS get the address of WHERE the accident happened.
You will take the photo on YOUR smart phone. Â Then, using Photo Mechanic, plug in the coordinates of where the accident happened, NOT where you took the photo.
We will then take all the photos, along with the caption info, an plot it on a Google Map.
The photos you take need to be sharp, in focus, show us the person and the broken screen. Think about the light and background. Take a bunch of photos and pick the best one. Don’t rely on filters or camera gimmicks. Try to make a cool and interesting portrait of yours subject.
Bring your photos to class. We will use Photo Mechanic and you will caption them, assign the GPS coordinates and upload them in class.
Take a quick look at this video before class, so you can see how easy that step is.
