    (Due Monday May 6th) 2-weeks

    Part I:
    Make an illustration for the following topic:

    Gun Control
    In 2013, America is torn on the issue of Gun Control.


    Susan Page, USA TODAY

    "Four months after the shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School, a USA TODAY Poll finds support for a new gun-control law ebbing as prospects for passage on Capitol Hill seem to fade.
    Americans are more narrowly divided on the issue than in recent months, and backing for a bill has slipped below 50%, the poll finds. By 49%-45%, those surveyed favor Congress passing a new gun-control law. In an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll in early April, 55% had backed a stricter gun law, which was down from 61% in February. Last week in the Senate, a bipartisan proposal for expanding background checks for gun buyers failed to win the 60 votes needed." Read more

    Cover a Live Event / Multiple Pictures
    Select a scheduled public event and photograph all aspects of the event in the form of a photo essay. Be sure to shoot various scenes, including overalls and details, and illustrate what the event is about. Get photos of all the important people and subject matter.
    Select a carefully chosen event to shoot, thus you have three weeks to plan.

    Suggestions; news event, parade, protest, performance, etc.

    Do not shoot a sporting event, a press conference, fair, etc. Check newspaper, campus fliers, and magazine listings for a schedule of events in your area.

    Select an event that will be visual, not something static like someone standing at a podium talking. Think of some of the work reviewed in class. Your event selection is key, give it some thought and planning.

    Be prepared to use your flash if necessary. Keep in mind some of the elements of good composition, avoiding; cluttered and distracting backgrounds, objects appearing behind heads, dead space, etc. Fill the frame, making interesting photographs that have impact. Composition, positioning, background, and lens selection should all be taken into consideration. Photos as a collection should illustrate what the event is about. Make the photos relevant, avoid repetition.

    1. Select (8) different images must be submitted.
    2. Be sure to include people in at least (4) photos.
    3. Include (1) over-all, scene setter.
