Short Study 6 -

Digital Photographic Panorama Narrative

(Due week 7, March 2)

Working collaboratively in groups of 3, tell a story or narrative about the future, (farther than 10 years or beyond).

Through the use of various photographic and/or graphic elements which work together to give visual form to your ideas.

You will use a process known as scenario planning where a group of people share information and judgment to create a picture of the future larger than any individual could produce alone. Each person in the group must detail their contributions. Text can be used either incorporated as part of the image or as captions.

Either create a quicktime VR panorama, or a polar panorama, or a print your team's work on the large format Epson 10,000 printer minimum size 24 x 40 inches.

Consider

* how images can be used to effectively tell stories of all kinds?

* consider options for exhibiting narratives - long thin scroll? Hung vertically? Or horizontally? Rectangle? Circle?

* think about composition/image/form and color working together (remember the temple of art)

* Thoughtfully select and edit the group’s images

* Ethics in creativity -creative integrity -the life and times of Leni Riefenstahl. If you can imagine it, it could happen.

Dorothea Lange
Dorothea Lange photographed migrant workers, sharecroppers, tenant farmers, and other victims of the Depression in 22 states, primarily in the South and West, between 1935 and 1942. Her "Migrant Mother" (1936) is one of the classic images of the period.
