At its core photography establishes a communication between subject, audience and photographer. If you were to become the subject of your own multiple exposure photograph, what imagery (symbolic or representational) would you use to describe your identity, influences and interests? Write down some ideas on a slip of paper that you would be willing to share.
What is the message, mood and tonal value of the images below.

MindMap
Classwork: You will create a mindmap with a single core word "My Identity". From the core word, you will have nodes that emanate from the center, and sub nodes to further categorize. You must have at least 6 nodes, and each node should have at least 6 sub-nodes. Hand in to Mrs. Leather the end of class for participation grade.


Thumbnail Sketches/Ideas
Create 8 tiny boxes on a piece of paper. Create 8 sketches to help you previsualize a photo that would visually describe your personal identity. Again, your personal identity is more than physical appearance. It is the stuff that makes you tick. It may include cultural background, family values, peer relationships, hobbies and interests, experiences and talents and more. Each little box should represent a photo concept that merges at least 3 photos into one (1). Please show Mrs. Leather for a participation check mark for the classwork.

Shot Sheet:
Pick your top 3 thumbnail sketches and prepare a shot sheet that details the images you would need to shoot to make all 3. (This would be 9 images in total). You should keep these ideas to guide you over the weekend. Shot sheet should be handed in Monday at the end of class.

Assignment:
Over the weekend you will select one of your top 3 thumbnail ideas and create an in-camera multiple exposure shot, or shoot the 3 photos necessary to merge into one. (If you shoot 3 photos and will merge with Photoshop, that merger may be completed on Monday during class for final upload Monday, end of class. )

Please upload all homework files (when complete as a single multiple exposure) to the homework folder titled 'multipleExposure'. Uploads must be complete by the end of class Monday, Nov 18.
