Black objects absorb all the colours of the visible spectrum, stopping them reflecting back to the eyes.

Vantablack - This super black material was first developed by Surrey NanoSystems. It absorbs 99.98% of the light that hits its surface.

This GCSE assessment objective is looking for you to show how you present your ideas in a creative and imaginative way. Through this presentation we are looking to see how you are realising your intentions for the project!

Create an 8 page research book that must include:

1. Definition of what exposure is in Photography.
2. Examples of under, over and perfect levels of exposed images taken in lesson 1.
3. A brief explanation of what settings influence exposure.
4. Definition of what contrast is in Photography.
5. Examples of high and low contrast images taken in lesson 1.
6. Artist research, answering all the questions on the help sheet.

Take 3 photographs to show your understanding of exposure.
Your first photo must be under the normal classroom lights, the second with the lights off and the third outside in direct sunlight.

In your research book print these three photos out as examples of under, over and a perfect example of an exposed image.

Explain how light has effected the exposure of the 3 photos.

This GCSE assessment objective is looking to see you experiment with different processes, techniques, materials and medias! As your project develops you should be able to choose the most appropriate process and explain why.

This GCSE assessment objective is looking for you to show how you record ideas, observations and insights relating to your project. You must also be able to reflect on these, commenting on the progress of your project.

In Photography an image is created by light 'exposing' a photo-sensitive object e.g. paper, film or an imaging chip.

The more light that exposes this object the brighter the image.

The less light exposing this object results in a darker image.

# data[].attributes.body
Here is the same image firstly under exposed, just right and then over exposed. See how the brightness of the image changes?

There are 3 different functions on a camera you can change that effect the exposure of an image.

1. Shutter Speed - this is the period of time the sensor is exposed.

2. Aperture - this is the size of the hole that let's in light.

3. ISO - this is a measure of the sensor's sensitivity to light.

# data[].attributes.body
In Photography contrast is the scale of difference between the black and white in an image.

You need contrast to show the difference between light and dark in an image, without it you wouldn't see your image.

Remember, a photo captures light and black is the absence of colour.

For your GCSE you gain marks by investigating the work of other artists, designers, photographers, makers...the list goes on! To do this you must show an analytical and critical understanding of their work. From this you can then give your opinion and explain how it will influence your work - the most important part! That is why answering the questions on your help sheet is sooooo important!

How to Make a Quick and Easy 8 Page Mini-Book From One Piece of Paper

# data[].attributes.body
In pairs choose an image from your camera roll on your phone. And follow the editing instructions:
1. Turn the photo black and white.
2. Play with the contrast to create a high contrast version of the image.
3. Screen shot/screen record this process.
4. Play with the contrast to create a low contrast version of the image.
5. Screen shot/screen record this process.

In your research book print these two edited photos out as examples of a high and low contrast image.
Explain how it has changed the mood of the image.

If you've screen recorded the process use a QR code to show how you've edited the image!

Take a selection of photos that link to...
1. The project theme of 'Dramatic Contrast.'
2. The work of the photographer you have researched.

For example, if you increase the f-stop (aperture), you decrease the size of the lens’ diaphragm thus reducing the amount of light hitting the image sensor, but also increasing the DOF (depth of field) in the final image.

# data[].attributes.body
Reducing the shutter speed affects how motion is captured, in that this can cause the background or subject to become blurry. However, reducing shutter speed (keeping the shutter open longer) also increases the amount of light hitting the image sensor, so everything is brighter.

# data[].attributes.body
Increasing the ISO, allows for shooting in lower light situations, but you increase the amount of digital noise inherent in the photo. It is impossible to make an independent change in one of the elements and not obtain an opposite effect in how the other elements affect the image, and ultimately change the exposure value.
