Week One Reflection

Progress after DAY ONE!

Round two of Impact Projects and I am feeling way more enthusiastic this time!
Today I made good progress and filled in my proposal document. I have decided that for this project I want to create a book celebrating awesome people in the Gisborne community. I want to learn about interesting people who have achieved great things and take photos of them that represent who they are as people. I then want to interview the people and write up my findings. In the end I want to create a book with the photos of interviews. I want to donate my book to the school library and I want to print a few extra copies to sell to people. I still haven't decided who I would sell to so I know I still have a bit of work to do with that. I am excited about my idea because I think it will be a really cool way to celebrate some inspiring people. 

Today, as well as finishing my proposal, I learnt about some photography hacks from a video Mrs King showed us. The one I liked the most was putting vaseline on the lense to create a foggy effect around the subject - it looked really effective. This is the video 

I also got the chance to try out some of the different perspectives and compositions with Sarah and Jane. We took the school camera and took some pictures around the school.

There were a couple of things I found hard today including filling in some of the paperwork for my proposal - I am not really sure who my stakeholders are yet as I haven't decided who I want to interview or sell my book to. I also don't know how much it will all cost so I have to do a bit of research for the budgeting section.

Next time I want to create a list of Gisborne people to interview and I want to learn more about photography skills. I want to practice some techniques on people in my class as my subject matter will be people.

I am feeling happy about how my day went.
