write about student life in the university from the photo

This assignment is to help you practice, recognize, and understand the elements of and connections between the written and visual elements in a narrative.  Create a short narrative in images and words about some aspect of a student’s life or experiences.  Before you get started, make sure you have decided on the following, as discussed in class: 

What is your story and why are you creating it?

            What is it about?

            What is your point?

            What is your goal?

            What do you want the reader to come away with 

Your text should be 100 – 125 words (short can be difficult and, for this assignment, you may run longer, if needed).  You should have 4 – 6 photos.  I want you to plan and set up the photos so you can explore how best to get images that capture the elements of the story you are striving for.  Remember to include different types of photos (remember discussions and the doc on Blackboard about narrative photos types) to make the story informative and interesting.

IMPORTANT: Choose a topic that you can illustrate in photos you create. You may include photos you do not set up, as needed but remember that your goal is to understand how texts and photos communicate the points you are making in a narrative and exploring what you include (and exclude) in your texts and images is an important part of learning.  A piece of advice: Don’t just do it.  Think about it, plan it, and try different options.  Write more and then edit out what doesn’t help advance your narrative.  Try your photos in different ways to see how composition, lighting, and the elements in a photo change the message an impact of photos.
