As discussed in class, there are two homework assignments for next week - a photo project, and the first draft of your final project proposal. Here are the details:
Photo Assignment #4: Portrait:
* Find a stranger, faculty member, athlete, coach, journalist, etc and take three distinctly different portraits that say something about the subject’s life, profession, major, personality, background, etc.
* Write a full caption for each photo.
* Turn in exactly 3 photos to the blog by start of class on March 26.
Final Project Proposal:
Your pitch can be informal -- this is a quick note to your editor explaining what you'd like to do and why it will be interesting. The pitch must be posted to the blog by start of next class, and it must include the following elements:
* Format you plan to use. (video or audio slideshow)
* Story arc and hook
* Types of people who will appear
* Proposed headline for the piece
* Expected run time
You can change the elements or topic later, though final project ideas *must* be approved in advance. Major deductions for turning in some surprise project on the last day that you never mentioned before. Communicating with your editor is an important part of the process.
Have a great break.
