Week 8 Forum: Media

Topic 1: Technology and Innovation:
What is the single most important technological change/advancement to photojournalism and why?
-The change of a camera to a smaller, portable size that could capture an image instantaneously without people having to pose or "stand still" for long periods of time. Also the ability to have the camera mobile and "hidden" to take candid pictures allowed for a more perfect, honest image.

Who is the best photographer in history of photojournalism? Why and examples of their life:
Weegee is probably the best photojournalism, because he created the profession of photojournalism. He took pictures and showed people real-life, show stopping scenes that no one else had.


Topic 2: Photo Story Plan:
Who: Kids at Oak Heights
What: The first inter school track meet for elementary students.
When: Next Tuesday and Friday, May 29th (actual event) at 9:30 a.m.
Where: Sweet Home
Why: Ways to get kids together in an active fun way.
Kinds of Photos I want to take:
Overall: Up high (maybe in crows nest) of kids doing events from an "aerial view".
Medium: individual racers/athletes, finishing races, going "mid-jumps", start lines.
Close up: shoes on start lines, close up of shirts, close faces.
