Today (and Friday) you are going to tell a story in 6 pictures. There will be no words in your story, only pictures. Six pictures, not eight, or seven, or five. Six. - The plot of the story can be whatever you want, so long as you follow a few simple rules.
- The story must be in good taste.
- The story should be non-violent.
- Nobody gets pushed down the stairs, beaten up, or hurt in some other way.
- The story should be clear and easy to understand. Your pictures must convey the story as clearly as words normally word.
- If you can build a moral in there, that would be fantastic.
- Plan out your story and your shots BEFORE you go to shoot them.
- This isn't an excuse to wander the building looking for ideas.
- Have you plan ready before you start.
- Ignore the Rule of Thirds and try to get the action in your picture in the center.
- When you've got six good shots for your story, you're going to upload them to Big Huge Labs and create a photo montage using Mosaic Maker.
- Make sure your mosaic is 2 by 3 (or 3 by 2).
- When you are done, save your mosaic, send it off to the photo shop, and have it printed as your weekly assignment.
- You will need to work with other people to complete your story.
- Each of you will complete your own, individual and unique story.
- When your story is shot, you're not done. You will need to appear in other people's photos, too, so be generous with your time.
