PHOTO

MULTIPLICITY

If the levitation assignment doesn't float your boat (get it?) maybe this will.

What would you do if you met your doppelganger? Using the skills you have learned in Photoshop, plan out a single photo (or a series, if you’d prefer) that explores the idea of having a doppelganger. This is an opportunity to get creative with your skills. Having already learned how to plan and scout locations for a shoot, take this idea and run with it.

This can be executed any number of ways

Part 1 | TUTORIAL

PHOTOSHOP

If you already have some Photoshop experience, you have a little advantage here. We will be using masking to create a composite of more than one photo. Spend some time looking at sample images to develop an idea that you want to try with your multiplicity assignment.

Watch the tutorial and start thinking about what your photo is going to be.

and with intrusion

We will use sample images to do this in class. The photoshop skills are quite basic, and only require you to load the files into a stack, add a layer mask, and draw out the parts of the image you want to show or hide using black or white.

Part 3 | ASSIGNMENT

Go do it.

Your assignment is to use the camera, location, planning and Photoshop to create a unique and interesting multiplicty photo. Spend some time planning and do something you're going to be proud of.

OUTLINE

Using techniques outlined on the website and in class, and building your ideas based on examples we have discussed, take a series of photos that can be used for a multiplicity photo.

BODY OF WORK

To help me understand your process submit 2 albums on Flickr. The first, called 'Multiplicity: Body of Work' should be all of the photos you take for this assignment. This should include trials, tests and experiments, and should demonstrate your creativity, approach and planning. There is no minimum requirement, but understand that your body of work is informing my assessment of your work. I am judging you in-part based on the effort. These photos will contribute to your thinking and inquiry mark.

SUBMISSION

You will only be required to submit one photo which you will place in an album called 'Multiplicty: Submission' . You may submit more than one final photo if you like. These are the photos which will contribute to both your knowledge and your application mark. These may be, but do not have to be connected to each other stylistically. Once uploaded to a Flickr album, submit the link to Brightspace and the Flickr discussion.

DESCRIPTION

Write a short reflection on your experience with this assignment. What did you have in mind when you started? How did you find the location scouting? How successful were you?
You must follow written conventions and proofread your written work. Submit the written portion as a Google Doc in the Brightspace assignment dropbox.
