  1. OTEC 603 - Spring 2010 Michael Childers - John Coney Jean Javellana - Myla Gumayagay Composed Portraits

  2. “If you saw a man drowning, and you could either save him or photograph the event, what shutter speed would you use?”

  3. Instructional Goal • A picture is worth a thousand words. • Defining a well composed portrait requires guidance. • The instructional goal is to teach university students and staff to be able determine the components of a well composed portrait. • Portrait may be perceived differently by different people, however we will introduce several key concepts to better define the components to a well composed portrait.

  4. Target Audience • The setting for this training will be for college students and staff of the University of Hawai`i System who recently upgraded from point and shoot to digital Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras. • The SLR is defined as a type of camera which incorporates a viewing system where the subject is seen through the lens. Many students and staff share an interest in photography for artistic reasons as well as to support teaching. Today, with social networking, portraits are often posted online shortly after the pictures were taken.

  5. Instructional Analysis • Gagne's Condition of Learning • Focus of Theory - Intellectual Skills • Instructional Analysis • Goal Analysis • Subordinate Skills Analysis • Instructional Goal:  Given samples of portraits, the learners will be able to determine the components of well composed portraits.

  6. Skills List: 1. Determine Subject for Portrait 2. Determine Appropriate Background 3. Determine Lighting 4. Determine Composition 5. Determine Camera Settings Subordinate Skills: 1. Determine Subject for Portrait     a. Define subject 2. Determine Appropriate Back     a. Define mood 3. Determine Lighting     a. Define artificial lighting 4. Determine Composition     a. Define rules of thirds     b. Define angle of subject 5.Determine Camera Settings     a. Define aperture     b. Define shutter speed     c. Define focus Entry Level (EL) Behaviors: 1. Understanding that a portrait commonly is the photograph of a human face depicting a mood. 2. Comprehend different moods (i.e. happy, sad, romantic) are appropriate for different subjects. 3. Understand adequate light is necessary for portraits. 4. Understand composition is the arrangements of parts in relation to each other as a whole. 5. Understanding that camera settings are important.

  7. SKILL PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE 11 Define aperture. Given four possible definitions, the learner will choose the answer that best describes the term "aperture". 12 Define shutter speed Given four possible definitions, the learner will choose the answer that best describes the term "shutter speed" 13 Define focus Given four possible definitions, the learner will choose the answer that best describes the term "focus" Instructional Strategy Instructional Goal:  Given samples of portraits, the learner will be able to determine the components of a well composed portrait.

  8. Content Analysis • Pre-Instructional, Assessment, and Follow-through Activities • Sequence and Clustering of Objectives • Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction Worksheet • Content Presentation and Learner Participation  • Skill #11 - Define Aperture • Skill #12 - Define Shutter Speed • Skill #13 - Define Focus

  9. Transition to Prototype Module

  11. Introduction

  12. Introduction - Module

  13. Camera Controls

  14. Best Design Features • Terms were defined with Examples • Instruction was clear • Increased Understanding of Module Objectives

  15. Formative Evaluation • Module Evaluated by UH Students/Staff •  Interested in SLR Digital Photography  • One on One Format  • Each Team Member Conducted One Evaluation • (One Member Conducted Two)  N=5  • Conducted on Campus in "Quiet Place" • Each Evaluation took about One Hour

  16. Likert Scale 1-5 1.    Strongly disagree2.    Disagree3.    Neither agree nor disagree4.    Agree5.    Strongly agree

  17.         4.2         2.8         4.2         3.2         3.8         4.2         4.0 Pretest Evaluation                      N=5 Understand Questions? Skill Level? Photography Interest? Identify Controls? Understand Aperture? Understand Shutter Speed? Understand Focus?

  18.         3.4         4.0         4.0             2.6             3.8 Module Evaluation                      N=5 Module Hold Attention? Appropriate Length? Easy to Follow? Challenging? Illustrations Appropriate?

  19.         3.6         4.6         4.8         4.4         4.2 Post Test Evaluation                   N=5 Understand questions? Understand Aperture? Understand Shutter Speed? Understand Focus? Tests Measure Materials?

  20. Formative Evaluation Summary • What Went Well             Each Term was defined with Examples             Instruction was Clear             Increased Understanding of Module Objectives

  21. What Went Well Aperture and Depth of Field (DOF) The Depth of Field is the distance wherein objects are in focus.

  22. Formative Evaluation Summary • What Went Wrong • Pictures Too Small • Some Questions Difficult to Understand

  23. What Went Wrong Some Images too Small

  24. Next Time... • Paper format was OK • Instruction could have been better using a different format, would allow larger images         Use powerpoint         E - Pictures - Module online as a web page Time and Money No object • Overall Objective is to take better potraits            Module may have been better presented if Instructor led             Learn by Doing - Have students use an SLR
