ActivitiesActivity 1. Still Photography
Select a subject (a person) and make two portraits: an environmental portrait (wide- to medium shot) and a more formal head-and-shoulders portrait (close-up shot). Place the two photos and a credit line (your name) on a single PowerPoint slide. On one or two additional (linked) slides, describe, in no more than two or three paragraphs, the portraits and the person who is the subject. Explain your choice of subject, choice of location(s), and choice of poses. Activity 2. Audio Record a brief (between one and two minutes) interview with a person of your choice. Digitally edit the interview recording, save it as an mp3 or wav file, and submit it as directed by the instructor. Activity 3: Video Create a brief (less than 2 minutes) video on a person of your choice. Include appropriate titles, shots (long, wide, and close-up), cuts, transitions, and audio. Grading will be based on the degree to which your video successfully incorporates the above elements. Save the video as an MPEG file, compress it to a suitable file size, and submit it as directed by the instructor. |

Assignment Reflections
This assignment encompassed three activities that would help prepare me in completing the final project. The activities helped me understand what is
expected and the best practices of using photography, audio, and video for distance education. Luckily, I work with media and communications in my current place of work and was able to let my skills shine in completion of each activity. I was also introduced to some new free software that I was able to use to edit some of the activities. My favorite part of this assignment was learning the importance of integrating principles of visual literacy and design into materials because it made me see the appreciation and add value to what I can bring in the area of learning and development.
