Contact Sheet



Objective
To collect together your photoshoot and evaluate the success.

Task

Using Finder, create a 3 x 4 contact sheet.
Export as a .pdf.
Open in Photoshop and annotate -

  • Circle image that are good. This might be due to them being in focus, correct composition etc. 
  • Cross out images that are not to be used. Out of focus, badly cropped, wrong position etc. 
  • Write simple notes against the photos, 'out of focus', 'too far away' or 'too dark', 
  • Make your annotations obvious - write in pink? 
Within the post and underneath the contact sheet, comment on the following:
  • What were your intentions for the shoot? Why take these images? 
  • What are the successful elements, What worked well? 
  • What were the unsuccessful elements? What didn't work well? 
  • If you were to take these images again, what would you do to make them more suitable? 
  • Do you believe that you have all the shots you need for the project? If not, what others do you need to take? 
Presentation
Save as a jpeg and post to your blog.

Checklist for assessment

Lots of concise and insightful evaluation of your photos.
