Exam dates 31st March, 1st and 3rd
April
Please ensure that you
address the following within the blogger.
Target number of shoots = 3
Ensure
that your exam submission meets the requirements of the assessment objectives
as interpreted below:
|
|
Done
y/n
|
|
AO1:
· Is my work linked to my research? Describe how your
work is linked within the work record.
· Am I showing a progression of my work from previous
shoots? – mention the preparatory shoots within the
work record.
· Am I analysing my work objectively… (connotation,
denotation, etc.)? This can be done in the work
record.
|
|
|
AO2:
· Am I experimenting with techniques, processes,
materials? This can be shown in the work record,
computer experiments and physical experiments (if done as part of the exam).
· Am I reviewing and refining my ideas (learning from
e.g. preparatory shoots, photographers research)? This
can be shown in the work record.
|
|
|
AO3:
· Am I recording my ideas, observations? This can be shown in
the work record. You will need to use technical language including camera
settings…
· Am I reflecting on my work and progress. This can be shown in the work record.
|
|
|
AO4:
· Am I adopting a personalised approach within my
photography, am I expressing why I photographed/edited/printed the subject
area in a particular way? This can be shown in the
work record.
· How do my final photographs/final pieces, connect
with my previous research? This can be shown in the Final Pieces.

For each shoot you will need to
create the following posts.
·
Contact sheet
·
Straight images (as many as
you wish to post)
·
Work Record
·
Computer experiments (if
carried out during the exam)
·
Physical experiments (if
carried out during the exam)
·
Final Pieces
On page 2 there is an outline
of why these components are required and what you need to write within each
section.
Why you need the following
posts
Contact sheet
Will
evidence the breadth of your research.
IF YOU feel that you can only do two very long shoots rather than three
this will be reflected in your contact sheet.
Straight Images (as many as you wish to post)
Select the best images from the shoot that you
might wish to take further through editing
Work
Record your Plans for the shoot, What
you hope to achieve. NB (those first
two sections should be written before the shoot in order to help you clarify
your ideas and to ensure you have all that you need). This is followed up by What I actually achieved (with
two evaluated pictures - equivalent to the evaluation section of a work diary)
In this section you must record how you took the photograph in terms of camera
settings and the visual outcome (did you achieve the type of photographs you
wanted, what are the denotations and possible connotations associated with the
images). Candidates are expected to
use technical language (e.g. depth of field, etc). What I
am doing to do next (this might mean
something that occurred whilst doing that shoot that you want to develop or
maybe even a change in direction, etc).
Computer
experiments -
·
Computer experiments will demonstrate your ability to experiment with
the medium of digital photography… This is an important aspect of the AQA
assessment criteria. You will need to
explain the process used. You can do
this with screen prints and text or just use text only.
·
You should evidence the photograph before and after the computer
experimentation.
Physical
experiments -
Physical experiments will
demonstrate your ability to experiment with the medium of photography… This is
an important aspect of the AQA assessment criteria. The process involves the way a final print is
physically transformed and how the meaning of a print changes as a result of
the transformation. Physical experiments
SHOULD be recorded by scanning in the transformed print.. You will need to explain how the
transformation has changed the meaning of the photograph e.g. describe your
concept and the connotations associated with the print.
FINAL PIECES
Show the
images the best images that you have created in a single post. Ensure that the images selected work as a
series and are linked to the exam paper.
Describe
how the work is linked to your preparatory work (i.e. photographers research or
shoots). Do this within the post below the images.
