Module Six: Themed Photo Series, Time Lapse Photo Set or Sequences

Themed Photo Series:

Select a theme that is significant to you. Take 4 images that demonstrate some aspect of the theme.
Keep a written record of:

  • Location (usually the same for each shot)
  • Time of Day (should be the same for each shot)
  • Camera settings (may be different)
  • Observations (your personal thoughts about capturing each image)
  • Written description of how the theme is personally significant.

See Examples Below: Hanna L. used a common place (alleys) as the theme for her Photo Series

Time Lapse Photo Set:

Our world is filled with natural and man-made "changes"; metamorphoses, processes, and transformations. Brainstorm where, when and how these amazing and perhaps mundane events occur. Take a series of at least 4 photographs that record your chosen "event". This "event" should take place over a month or longer (i.e. a flower growing). So you would take a photo a week of the same subject as it changes!

Keep a written record of:

  • Location (usually the same for each shot)
  • Time of Day (should be the same for each shot)
  • Camera settings (may be different)
  • Observations (your personal thoughts about capturing each image)

See Examples below:

Sequence:
This option is similar to the Time Lapse, however your time frame is MUCH shorter! This sequence of shots that covers an "event" should capture something that happens in less 20 minutes. Also, expected to be at least 4 photographs.

Keep a written record of:

  • Location (usually the same for each shot)
  • Time of Day (should be the same for each shot)
  • Camera settings (may be different)
  • Observations (your personal thoughts about capturing each image)

See Examples Below: Jake G. recorded his dogs playing ball, an activity that only lasted but a moment.

Module Six Assignments:

  1. Select one of the above options. Discuss your selection with the teacher so she is aware of your intent and can offer some direction.
  2. Plan out and take at least 4 photographs that will create your series project choice. (40 points)
  3. Upload all images that make up this module to FlickR with the Label "Photo Series ", "Photo Set" or "Photo Sequence" and number the images so I grade them in the correct order.
  4. In the description box explain the thought and planning process for the assignment and your Critique (+ positive aspect - critical comment and grade).
