Negative Space and Fill the Frame Portfolio

Your task: Demonstrate your understanding of two compositional strategies: Negative Space and Fill the Frame by posting a portfolio of your best 5 of each type of photograph.

Negative Space Examples
Put simply, negative space is the area which surrounds the main subject in your photo (the main subject is known as the "positive space"). For this negative space project, the negative space dominates the photograph, it takes up most of the frame and give the subject tons of space to breathe.





Fill the Frame Examples
The frame refers to the edges of your photograph or the edges of the viewfinder of your camera when you are shooting. The advice to fill the frame means to get in close, to make your subject a significant portion of the final photograph.

Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Knowledge/Understanding
Quality of photo:
-value range is balanced (not over or underexposed lighting)
-subject is in focus            /10
Limited quality: limited value range and many unfocused subjects

5     5.5
Somewhat good quality: some value range, some subjects are focused

6     6.5
Good quality: most photos have:   full range of values from light to dark, and   subjects are in focus
7     7.5
Great quality: full range of values from dark to light, all subjects are in focus

8     9     10
Thinking/ Inquiry
Fill the Frame/Tight Cropping and Negative Space
-accurate depiction of composition techniques
                    /5
Check the examples again. 2/5 accurately depict fill the frame/ tight cropping and/or 2/5 accurately depict negative space.
2.5
Check the examples again. 3/5 accurately depict fill the frame/ tight cropping and 3/5 accurately depict negative space.


3
Good start! 4/5 accurately depict fill the frame/ tight cropping and 4/5 accurately depict   negative space.




3.5
Nailed it! 5/5 accurately depict fill the frame/ tight cropping and 5/5 accurately depict negative space.

Communication
Blog Post:
-each photograph is labeled with the types of composition technique
-each photograph’s subject is identified
-blog post is titled appropriately                       /5
Composition techniques and subjects are rarely labeled accurately. Blog post has appropriate title.
2.5
Composition techniques and subjects are sometimes labeled accurately. Blog post has appropriate title.

3
Composition techniques and subjects are mostly labeled accurately. Blog post has appropriate title.

  
3.5
Composition technique and subject is labeled accurately. Blog post has appropriate title.

Application
Exploration and creativity:
-variety of angles, locations, subject matter, camera rotation
-ordinary objects have been transformed into interesting photographs


                                           /10
Limited exploration and creativity: little variety of shots, little variety  angles, locations, subject matter, camera rotation.
Ordinary objects have been transformed into interesting photographs rarely
5     5.5
Some exploration and creativity: some variety  angles, locations, subject matter, camera rotation.
Ordinary objects have been transformed into interesting photographs sometimes.

6    6.5
Good exploration and creativity: a good variety of  angles, locations, subject matter, camera rotation.
Ordinary objects have been transformed into interesting photographs mostly.

7     7.5
Great exploration and highly creative portfolio: variety of  angles, locations, subject matter, camera rotation.
Ordinary objects have been transformed into interesting photographs
