Grade 3/4 Plan and develop ideas for a photoshoot that links to theme ‘Framing’. Planning for Photoshoot Write down how you intend to start the photographing process. Your planning must show some influence from the photographers. What type of photographs would you like to take based on theme of ‘Framing’? What inspiration can you use from the photographers that you have researched? Add some pictures from the internet to show what type of photography you would like to produce.

Grade 5/6 Record photographs that depict ‘framing’. Take 12 photographs that shows ‘framing’. Be creative and imaginative with camera angles. Contact Sheet Two

Grade 7/8 Evaluate framing photographs making links to the photographers’ styles. (photographic language) Evaluation of contact sheets Insert two best photographs below - What were your intentions for taking these photos? What are the successful elements? What has worked well? What didn’t work so well? Why? How do your photographs relate to the photographers’ style? How do you intend to manipulate your photographs?

AO 2 My Target Grade At the end of your lesson, review your work. Lesson Objective Lesson 6/7 Grade 7/8 Evaluate edited images making links to the photographers’ styles. Grade 5/6 Experiment with a range of Photoshop techniques and smart apps to manipulate photos. Grade 3/4 Prepare a plan to show you intend to manipulate your ‘framing’ photos. Which objective did you meet today? How do you know that you have completed this activity?

Grade 3/4 Plan and develop ideas for a photoshoot that links to theme ‘Framing’. Planning for Experimentation Write down how you intend to manipulate your photographs. Your planning must show some influence from the photographers. What outcomes will you plan to create? Surreal/abstract or realistic outcomes? Will you add more colour or make your photos appear in black and white? How will you emphasis ‘framing’ in your work? Will you use a different colour to highlight the frame? What smartphone apps will you use? Which photographer will you base your experiments on?

Grade 5/6 Experiment with a range of Photoshop techniques and smart apps to manipulate photos. Use Photoshop to show a range of experiments. Add your experiments below. Experiment with ‘Adjustments’ (Levels, Curves) Experiment with ‘Layers’ Experiment with Artistic Effects Experiment with New Technique

Grade 5/6 Experiment with a range of Photoshop techniques and smart apps to manipulate photos. Use Phone Editing Apps to show a range of experiments. Add your experiments below. Experiment with Phone App - name of app

Grade 7/8 Evaluate edited images making links to the photographers’ styles. Original Image Manipulated Image Evaluating Experiments How did you manipulate your photograph? What adjustments/filters/effects did you use and why? How does your edited image link to the photographers’ style (same colour scheme, same subject, same camera angle? ) Which editing process did you prefer and why? (Using Photoshop or Phone Apps? ) How could you use your manipulated images? (Magazine, website, CD Covers…)
