COMM 319: Photojournalism

Your Name

PART 1 OF THE MID-TERM EXAM

This part of the exam is due at the end of the class:

1) If you had to tell a young photographer how to produce a picture story, what five key points would you stress?

2) If a reader called your newspaper complaining about a photograph you shot of people grieving at a community leaderšs funeral that ran on the front page, what would you tell the caller to make her feel better and perhaps justify your actions?

PART 2 OF THE MID-TERM EXAM

This part of the exam is due at the end of the lab:

Using "AV Photo Finder" with your Netscape Web browser (image.altavista.com/cgi-bin/avncgi), find a car wreck picture and download it to your disk (click and hold the mouse cursor on the image and select "Save this image as..."). In PhotoShop, make the image as good as quality as you can and as near as 5"x7" as possible. In QuarkXPress, display the image with a credit line (if known) and cutline supplied from information in "Photo Finder" and include a justification for printing such an image. Type your name and date in the top-left corner.

PART 3 OF THE MID-TERM EXAM
Due: April 5

With this exam you find out why I asked you for a number during the first day of class. Each number corresponds to an inspirational saying contained in my online publication, The Zen of Photojournalism [commfaculty.fullerton.edu/lester/writings/zen.html].

In a 16-page blue book, you will write at least five pages on whatever comes to mind concerning the saying you chose. You can include photographs, drawings, poetry, personal stories, referenced material--anything.

Here is your saying:
