Week 3 already....

By now you should have a very clear idea on what you intend to do. You should have downloaded and printed all the units you have chosen to do and read them thoroughly.
Also you should have done at least one of your two statements of intent in full. The choices that you have made will then need to be researched via the web, books, magazine, youtube videos, etc..etc..of the photographers who work in your chosen areas.

We will look at research and what is required, also you can look in the archive on the main site to gain access to valuable information to help you on this course. Ask me about this and I will show you where and what you need to be looking at.
You should also be starting to label all your blog work so you can self track it all via the labels gadget which we went through the other week, any problems with this please ask me.

Also you need to be starting your photography now to run alongside your research. There is an expectation that you will be working online away from the college at all times to add more content each week. This has to happen often in order that you might want to use the studio for a session, or go out to do some night photography whilst at college for example.

Next step

Can all level 3 students decide which units they want to do, print them out so that you have these with you at all times. When you have these in front of you, can you then start to blog about the research your chosen areas.

Please be aware that you must balance the amount of work that you do equally for both themes.
Can you also add a statement of intent for each of the chosen themes and be prepared to discuss this with me when we get to talk.

There is an expectation that at level 3 you take complete control, ownership and responsibility for the units and photography that you undertake. You need to be proactive in your research and development and experimental in your photography based upon the rich and diverse inspiration you gather from all of your research.

Please make sure that you gather enough images from the research of each photographer and their work, load at least 10 images from each and comment upon them individually or in groups of similar work. Write using critical vocabulary about the value you can add into your own work based upon these influences. This was all covered in the level 2 program.
