Progress Sheet

Mindmap – with 3 levels of detail

Definition -  a breakdown of the exam paper with definitions relevant to the exam and how you wish to explore the paper, also add 4 visual examples that relate to the definitions post with annotations.

Illustrated Discussion, this should include your possible approaches- .you want to explore and examples of work on the photographers within the paper

Image Bank - complete with 30 images you can use this to record pictures that inspire you or that you want to use the ideas  ...............

Research Log - completed with at least fifteen – twenty entries and annotations….. discuss why the images were selected and how they are relevant to your response to the externally set exam  ( 5 should be non American or European) ( remember connotation, denotation and context)

Photographer Research (connotation, denotation and context)

   No1 why picked..... 4 photos......evaluations....... influence....sum.....

   No2 why picked..... 4 photos..... evaluations....... influence....sum.....

   No3 why picked..... 4 photos..... evaluations....... influence....sum.....

NB The next two should be non American or European

   No4 why picked..... 4 photos..... evaluations....... influence....sum.....

   No5 why picked..... 4 photos..... evaluations....... influence....sum.....

This is a more detailed level of research  (than the research log) where you need to look at  5 photographers (No1, No2, etc.).  For each photographer, you are required to evaluate each photograph, the evaluations will require a critical analysis of the photograph (denotation, connotation and context) and some contextual information on the photographer.  If they are a known photographer (e.g. Henri Cartier Bresson, Robert Frank), you can start with an intro with contextual information about them.

The influence and summary section should only be completed once you have completed your shoots and will require you to explain how the photographer research influenced the way you executed your project.   You should include an example of your own work to show visually how your work relates to theirs.  This could relate to e.g. the way you used similar lighting, composition, etc.

·      the influence can relate to the visual approach of the photographer or technical /conceptual approach

·      technical approaches e.g. lighting, composition, camera settings, etc.

·      conceptual approach e.g. follow similar ideas
