For your photography assignment you are going to take a series of pictures that tells a story. You will then use Photoshop Elements, full Photoshop or Comic Life to create comic book pages. You'll put your photos in order within the boxes, add some filters, and voila, you've made a real life comic book.
1: Start by planning - Check out some comic book layouts and designs - https://www.google.ca/search?q=comic+book+pages&biw=2133&bih=992&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiJ6ZGN8aLJAhUBrB4KHaixD5sQsAQIGw&dpr=0.9
See what layouts Comic Life has to offer you.
2: Then plan out your narrative - https://www.literacyshed.com/the-story-starter-shed.html
Above are a bunch of story starters, there are 25 on that page, but there are more links at the bottom to check out. Select one of those prompts, or come up with your own.
3: Storyboard your photos - Remember subject placement. Remember rule of thirds. Consider that you're going to use speech bubbles or text in your panels. Think about taking photographs of settings, and people, close ups and long shots.
4: Take your photos - You must take a minimum of 20 pictures for this assignment.
* PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY ARE IN FOCUS...If they aren't take them again.
I will not accept an assignment if a picture is out of focus. You will retake the photo and resubmit the assignment.
Use Comic Life to create your comic book.
6. Add filters (we will cover these in class) to your images to make them look comic book-y
You are done. If you feel like getting super creative you can also create a cover.
