Which photo number do you want to do your Critique on. TELL ME HERE!
Critique:
In this class, you will be choosing one image from your period’s Unique Point of View Photo Challenge Gallery to write a 200 word critique on.
Choose one photo to critique. Once that photo has been chosen, then you have to choose a different photo to critique so that everyone has their photo critiqued.
For your critique, you will write a 200 word critique that addresses the following criteria.
Composition. Does the image follow the rule of thirds? Does the image have an interesting camera angle? Is the photo taken at eye level or does the image have a very deliberately odd angle? Did the photographer put effort into the angle or was the angle rushed? Does the point of view offer fresh insight into what would ordinarily be a routine image? Does the angle show us anything new about this image?
Focus: Is the subject of the image in focus or blurred out? Is the focus just a little bit off or is the image totally sharp? How could the photographer fix the focus? Is the correct part of the image in focus?
Lighting. Is the image correctly exposed. Is the image too dark or too bright? Is the subject visible, or could Photoshop or a photo retake fix this? Is the white balance in the image correct, or is it too blue or too yellow?
Photoshop. Does the image look like something that could come out of the camera, or is there too much Photoshop. Was Photoshop used to highlight the subject or was Photoshop used just to use Photoshop? Was the image correctly cropped to show the best angle possible? Are there any unnecessary parts of the image that could be cropped out to create a more effective image? Does the image need to be rotated? Are the horizon lines straight?
Overall: Does the image use a unique angle or point of view to try to tell you a story? Do you get a specific idea from this image? Or is the image just taken to fulfill the requirements of the assignment. What mood or feeling is created when you look at this photograph?
Please write complete answers for all of the above questions. Don’t tell me the questions, just give me the answers, in 200 words or more, and fully explain your thinking.
Write your critique in Word or Google Docs.Check for grammar and spelling. Read it aloud to yourself.
Step 2: Copy and paste the text to the individual photo in the photo gallery. Post the text as a comment to the photo.
CRITIQUE IS DUE ON TUESDAY.
