Google Docs yearbook production form

Please go to this link in order to access the google doc spreadsheet to keep track of the work you have done so far and will continue for the remainder of this semester.

You will need to log in with your tdsb login in order to access it. I've entered your names in the left column and you will be able to add any production work you have done in each of the subsequent columns next to your name.

Please enter one assignment per box. For example. The sample below "took photos....2015" would be one entry.

Remember, that part of your mark includes quantity in terms of production. The more you do, the higher this portion of your mark will be. Of course quality counts as well, so don't get sloppy!

YEARBOOK 2014-15

Hello yearbookers,

Latest assignments:

Create a pinterest board - go to pinterest.com and set up an account so you can start adding inspiring images to share with each other and to collect as idea boards.

Photographers: Please go through the folders and make sure you that as you are selecting photos you are looking for storytelling photos - individual photos that tell a story and overall variety.

Remember the five main types of photos you want:
ENVIRONMENT
DETAIL/CLOSE-UP
PEOPLE
ACTION
REACTION

Emotions happen in the eyes people. Capture the eyes - especially when people are engaged in something and super focused.

Also, remember when photographing events to keep those five types of photos in mind.
AND....
Look for variety when shooting, selecting and designing to grab varieties of shots
Groups of people, two people, one person, worm's eye, bird's eye etc.

Look for great ideas for group shots for our department photos and any other types of photos or spreads that inspire you and post them to your new pinterest pages!
