ASSIGNMENTS PROJECTS

For this course there are three assignments The subject matters of each project (Place People Things) broadly correspond to the long shot medium shot and close up respectively Detailed assignment briefs for this course are in digital format and can be accessed through the course website httpdigitalphotographicsblogspotcom

Project 1 ndash Space (33) The relationship between space place and photography is as old as the discovery of photography itself Over that time photography has literally redefined our social cultural and political notions of place and space itself A space can be among other things real or imagined private or public scared or sacrilegious safe or hazardous A place can have different meanings to different people In this assignment you will choose a location that you want to explore and use your camera to communicate the narratives feelings or memories that you find at the location You will investigate the nature of seeing photographically in order to capture a sense of place and space and in the process acquire an understanding of the fundamental processes of digital photography

First shoot images amp proposal due Wednesday 9th March Final hand-in by 12pm Wednesday 23rd March Review Thursday 24th March

Minimum Submission Requirements

weekly task to be set each week

complete blog proposal outlining your intended objectives for your work

blog documenting your research and the development of your ideas

work produced to exhibition standard comprising of at least 4 images placed in hand in folder

powerpoint or prezzi of final images

Project 2 ndash Time (33) Theorists have pointed out that the discovery of photographic imaging fundamentally changed our relationship with time While the first response of photographers was to claim that they finally had a means for capturing a moment in time it was quickly realised that the photograph was much more than that It was a means of drawing out a moment slowing it down speeding it up With the photograph it could be said that humanity discovered the first form of time travel For this project you will explore the nature of time in photography Whether you are going to produce a time lapse sequence a series of ultra fast high speed images long exposures or even photographically based stop-motion animations the subject of your project will be time Time is in many ways a very abstract concept It is profoundly socially and psychologically determined How will you approach it First shoot images amp proposal due Wednesday 30th March Final hand-in by 12pm Wednesday 11th May Review Thursday 12th May

Project 3 ndash Light (34) The relationship between light and photography is a broad and complex one For this project you will explore light in photography both as an abstract phenomenon and its impact upon object Objects are photographed under controlled conditions for advertisers keen to make an object as aesthetically appealing as possible and they are photographed creatively by artists rethinking our relationship between the object and the world around us For this assignment you will explore ways in which light changes objects First shoot images amp proposal due Wednesday 12th May Final hand-in by 12pm Wednesday 25th May Review Thursday 26th May

Note Students should familiarise themselves with the Universityrsquos requirements particularly those regarding assessment and course of study requirements contained in the statutes in the VUW Calendar and read the requirements of this course outline in that context

Assessment Criteria specific to individual projects will be listed in each Project Outline Overall Assessment Criteria for this course are

ability to imaginatively explore photographic vision

quality and coherence in your concepts

effective technical control

evidence of research and successful understanding of visual precedents

evidence of documentation of and reflection upon projectsrsquo progress

high level of craft and attention to detail

Your work will be reviewed on the basis of the degree to which it meets the assessment criteria Although visitors may be involved in some of the reviews the assessment of the course is carried out by the course coordinator in consultation with the tutors

6

The School has a long tradition of providing critical review of student work as it progresses especially in design projects This is part of feed-back for learning purposes Such reviews must not be misunderstood as indicators of standards and they are different from assessment Students have a responsibility to attend critical reviews at the appointed time as part of the learning process Review panels are often composed of internal and external members for the appointed times and cannot be re-composed to consider late submissions Consequently late work will not receive a critical review though it will be assessed subject to any penalties as set out below

Critical Review May take place during the development phases of a project as well as at the time of the final submission Its purpose is to identify strengths and weaknesses in the work and to offer suggestions to generally encourage the student An encouraging critical review does not necessarily mean a good assessment result

Assessment May take place at a stage in a project or on final submission (or both) Its purpose is to value the work in terms of the objectives stated in the handout and to express this as a grade Moderation of all assessment in design is undertaken at the end of the Trimester after critical reviews involving a wider group of staff than the immediate lecturers in the course This process ensures fairness

All work submitted for assessment must be accompanied by an Assessment Declaration Form unless advised otherwise by the Course Co-ordinator

All grades posted during this course are only provisional results until confirmed by the School Examiners Committee which meets after the examination period

ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION Attendance and participation is an important aspect of the learning process and you are required to attend all the lectures and tutorials If extraordinary circumstances arise that require you to be absent from some class sessions you should discuss the situation with the Course Coordinator as soon as possible

COURSE EXPECTED WORKLOAD

You should expect to spend a total of around 150 hours on this course including both scheduled class time and independent study Typically this involves around 8-10 hours per week during the twelve teaching weeks with the balance during the mid trimester break study week and examination period httpwwwvictoriaacnzhomeabout_victoriaavcacademicpublicationsassessment-handbookpdf
