Analyze the frame in the context of the scene and write a short essay on it (10pts.)
Reproduce the frame - try to create the same frame (40pts.)

Total: 60pts / So the midterm is 30pts, participation is 10pts and the final will be 60pts. Participating in the Springfest shootings is a bonus 15pts :)

What you have to consider in the reproduction is:

Lighting: 10 pts.
Framing (Angle and Shot size): 15 pts. - CONSIDER THE FRAME SIZE (16:9, 4:3 etc.)!
Lens Choice and Depth of Field: 15 pts.

You will send the Original Frame and Reproduced Frame (both jpeg files, no wider than 800 pixels) and the essay (.doc file) to ozan.konrot@emu.edu.tr. Do not compress the files (no ZIP). I want 3 attached files. File names should be:
