Project Two: In Focus
April 30, 2014
Project Two: In Focus was a photography project that was designed to teach young people the basic principles of photography in order for them to create a digital slideshow of portraits of service users at Age Concern Slough.
The young people involved in this project spent 7 days working with The Arts Excite.
Day 1 we explored cameras, how they work and the fundamentals of digital photography including Aperture, shutter speeds, focusing, ISO.
Day 2 was image composition, looking at portraits and how to take good images.
Day 3 we visited Age Concern Slough and the young people.
Day 4 we visited David Bailey’s Stardust Exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery to draw some inspiration from a famous photography.
Day 5 we revisited Age Concern with our new found knowledge from the exhibition and took some stunning photographs.
Day 6 we edited our pictures and created the slideshow.
Day 7 the young people put on their presentation to show off their work.
Project Two: In Focus, was funded by Arts Council England, JMD Media Lab, and Slough Borough Council. Young people involved in this worked toward achieving an Arts Award Bronze qualification
