Here is a couple of links to how to compose shots in photography.
composition
composition 2

Think about...focal point in your shots, clarity of shots. Does your photo tell a story? Create a feeling or emotion? Is your photo artistic? Is your photo pleasing to the eye? Are you close enough to your subject matter? Is your photo light enough?

Overlay: You are to take one of your photos and create an artistic edited piece by overlaying two photos over top of one another.
SHOTS : 1 MARKS: 10 album on Flickr

Skate park shots: Using the skate park as your setting, shoot 10 photos with a focus on angles/viewpoint. This means shooting up at a subject, down at a subject, close up at objects, maybe down on a rail, or  shooting down at your feet...laying on the ground and shooting at ground level.
SHOTS: 10 MARKS: 20 album on Flickr

Macros: For our purposes macros are really just close up photos of objects. The closer you get to an object the more interesting it looks. You are to take 10 close up shots , trying to create art from your photographs.

Final Slideshow set to Music: Using Photostory 3 ( program at school) or another movie making program of your choice, you are to create a collection of your top 30 photos. 10 photos in the collection can be taken prior to this class, but not more than a year old and/or can be related to an assignment in this class....the other 20 should be NEW and of HIGH QUALITY. You may want to take a camera home and shoot at the beach, down at the dock, in the woods, in your backyard. I am looking for a variety of different types of shots: macros, portraits, candids, landscape, pets, selfies, photoshop edited pieces etc.

Criteria: All shots should be well composed and in focus, all shots should have a focal point, you name should be on the first slide, the images should be choreographed into a thoughtful sequence, the music should work with the photos, all slides should be 3.5 sec long except for the first and last slide which should be 5 sec each, students should use the customize motion to make sure the the slides move effectively.
