Dear Class,
Some reminders for you:
Please post re-edits of the photos that you submitted for your critique onto your blog by Friday at midnight. I am asking you to do this for two reasons a) the best way to learn photoshop and photo editing is by doing it, and b) to give you an opportunity to improve your mid-semester review grade. Do not stress out about this. Take a deep breath, and let the photoshop force be with you.
Remember: subtleties. If you initially did something in b/w, try it in color (and vice versa). Experiment. Trust your viewer. Question yourself on what tricks you may be using to make your image more compelling, true, emotional, etc. Your images and decisions carry their own weight already. Photoshop is a tool to help. Try not to push anything over the edge (unless that's your intention). Notice how subtle changes can make a big difference.
Please see the below post, or the Representation page for your assignment DUE IN CLASS NEXT WEEK. Next week, you must bring all of your files for your 1-3 minute single shot video (3 takes), memory cards, laptops, and Adobe Premiere. We will be doing in class demos.
I am out of town for the rest of this week for a performance in NYC, and will therefore not be having office hours on Thursday. However, I will be available to meet with you on Monday if you would like to schedule something. You can also reach me via email, but expect a delayed response.
Best of luck with your shoots! I'm looking forward to seeing your videos.
