Portfolio Prep

We are nearing the end of the quarter!  For your portfolios,please select at least 5 pieces of work.  At least 2 should be photos and at least 3 should be Photoshop projects.  Of course you can have more than this if you like. 

All of your selections need to saved as JPEG files.  Put them together in TWO places:

1.  Your desktop (to make it easier to pull into iMovie)
2.  Your network documents.  Make a folder - if you haven't already - called Digital Photography Portfolio.  Put the JPEGs in that folder too.

Rather than writing a formal reflection, I'd like you to do a reflection in iMovie.  For each of your portfolio choices, you should record a voiceover that describes why you chose that piece.  Your voiceovers should be about a paragraph's worth of reflection.  You can't just say, "This is my pop art project.  It's cool."  Questions to help you with your voiceover:

• what do I like about this image
• how does this image show my growth as a photographer and/or Photoshop user
• what was hard about this project for me
• what am I most proud of about this image
• what does this image illustrate about me and my life right now

Once you have all of your pieces and reflections in your iMovie project, be sure to design a cover slide.  You should design a special cover in Photoshop.  It should say "Joey's Digital Photography Portfolio" or something like that.  Please show your use of special text effects.  It is AWESOME if you include images too.  Make it unique!

Then add your cover slide to your iMovie project.  Add transitions, music, and anything else to make your portfolio video the best it can be.When you're ALL done, export it as a MEDIUM sized video and save it in YOUR documents subfolder called Digital Photography Portfolio.  Make sure you save it there; if I can't find it, I can't give you credit :)
