5-Minute Presentaion Questions

1) What would you say stood out about your presentation performance?

In my presentation I think that bringing in several different camera and telling the class how they all use light and see light in there own way. Every film camera registers light in a different way and light is one of the most important things in photography and I believe what made me different was the fact that each one of those cameras can view differently like eyes. Also in non-traditional photography lighting is everything.

2) What was most challenging to do and why?

The most challenging thing for me, was to remember all my facts in order, for I was going through my facts very quickly in my mind and not keeping it in a straight order, or remembering which fact or statement will go first. 

3) What is the difference between the literal and interpretive in your presentation? 

Literal is something that you already know or learned, it is pretty much a fact about something, or in this case your topic that you are learning. While with interpretive it does tie in to the facts but in this case you need to make a connection with something else like, in a camera the F/stops are numbered from 2-16(usually 16), 2 being the biggest and 16 the smallest just like gauges that stretch peoples ears, smaller numbers are bigger and bigger numbers are a smaller size

4) What will you take from this and apply to future presentations? 

What I would take from this presentation is to review all my facts and statements for then I would write it down in an order I can follow. Also I would like to work on not speaking so quickly and keeping cool, calm, and collected while I present to the class.

Interviews

I decided to interview a photographer from Micheal Schaffer photography for there business takes a lot of traditional portraits. Even if I am not focusing on traditional portraits, I want to compare what makes a traditional portrait and what makes a non-traditional portrait. Also this company has an advertising company which means they are good with photoshop. So this means my question will be photoshop related.
I will ask how do you keep pictures natural looking when there is so much altering going on?
or another one is When you take portrait pictures how do place your lighting to give for an even tone on the subject?

Research Semester 1

What is your topic?

My topic is photography, to narrow it down I want to focus on  non-traditional portrait photography.

Why did you choose this topic?

I choose this topic for I love photography and close up picture of peoples faces, but also with non-traditional portraits, cool lighting is used to bring out the flaws of peoples faces.  So when I see a picture like that, I feel like the photo can really speak for itself rather than having someone explain what it is.

What do you hope to accomplish after studying this topic all year?

I hope this year I can accomplish being a better photographer and create a portfolio for myself and giving myself a name in the photography world, even if I am barley known. Also with learning different lighting techniques, I hope I  can bring that into what I want to do as a living which is stage designing.
