and other powerful aspects to
suit the image; e.g., rule of
thirds, use of diagonals,
postproduction cropping,
design elements and principles
3.3 modify camera settings
(e.g., aperture, shutter speed,
ISO) to produce appropriate
depth of field and image
sharpness or blur

PERFORMANCE TASK(S):
Students will research different settings to use on
their cameras to alter the mood such as: shutter
speed, ISO and aperture. Students will experiment
with other elements including horizon placement,
rule of thirds and use of diagonals to alter their
photographs. Students will be given class time to
go out in the community to take photographs that
represents the culture of the community. Students
will use their experience at changing camera
settings and other elements of photography when
capturing their photographs. Students will then
use postproduction techniques to edit their
photographs using a photo editing software ex:
cropping, contrast, sharpness. Students will then
print and arrange their work for viewing during our
student showcase. Work will be assessed by both
peers and the teacher using a collaborative
created rubric designed at the start of the project.
School administration will adjudicate student
work, and pick student work to be showcased
throughout the school.
