It was a little like American Bandstand, but with a dance team. And the lead dancer was named Darcel Wynne. She was a black, regal woman. Long ponytail. Long fingernails. Body shaped like an hourglass. Even her movements had curves. Nobody could dance like Darcel. She’d kick up high, then next thing you know she’s touching the ground. I used to jump off the furniture trying to copy her moves. But there weren’t too many places to dance in Omaha. Not like they danced on Solid Gold. The closest thing we had was the American Legion Fashion Show. The American Legion was like a gang. They had their own colors, their own emblem. And once a year they had a fashion show. My Grandma was on the organizing committee. She was always recruiting. She’d walk up to every woman on the sidewalk, and say: ‘Look at those hips. You belong in the fashin’ show. Ooooh Weeee!’ It never took much to make Grandma say: ‘Ooooh weee!’ Because these weren’t no dime pieces. These was just regular women on the corner. ]]> 2022-04-21 13:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pconnolly16/SPRING2022/wish/2152085691 Step 5: Turn in Your Work pconnolly16 https://padlet.com/pconnolly16/SPRING2022/wish/2152085693 1.

2. Complete a photo shoot with your subject from a variety of angles.
3. Move around the subject - make sure you have at least one worms eye, one birds eye, and one frommthe side.
4. Make sure to control your background, which means NOT shooting in front of a wall, lockers, bulletin board, etc.
5. Find the personal quality or aspect of the person that you want to feature – you will need to helpthem feel comfortable to express themselves with you and your camera.
6. Make sure to shoot in manual mode, balance your light, and focus on the subject.]]> 2022-04-21 13:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pconnolly16/SPRING2022/wish/2152085695 Step 3: Prepare to Photograph pconnolly16 https://padlet.com/pconnolly16/SPRING2022/wish/2152085696 1. Be comfortable with a camera, and you want to use.
2. Find the right space or place where your subject is in THEIR environment (a place they feel comfortable) - or - if you know a part of the interview you want to capture visually, make that the location for your photoshoot.
3. Read up on Environmental Portraits.
4. Prepare ahead of time by thinking about how to help your subject pose for the photoshoot.]]> 2022-04-21 13:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pconnolly16/SPRING2022/wish/2152085696 Step 2: Find the Story pconnolly16 https://padlet.com/pconnolly16/SPRING2022/wish/2152085697 1. Transcribe the interview (typed). Using the Otter.ai app on your phone will help you transcribe, (after you record the interview, you can access the transcript on a computer and then put it into a google
doc) but you’ll have to correct the transcript it creates.
2. You will turn in the entire interview. Type your questions, your subject’s answers, and your conversation. YOUR QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ABOUT JOURNALISM AND MEDIA LITERACY.
3. Highlight the heart of the story in the transcript. This may be several parts of your interview.
4. Choose what you will publish with the photo and “design” the story.
5. Publish only the parts that are most impactful. Choose what to excerpt, what to condense, and maybe splice parts of the conversation together to tell the story logically.
6. You may need to include your question(s) to help the story make sense. Don’t include your questions if they are not needed.]]> 2022-04-21 13:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pconnolly16/SPRING2022/wish/2152085697 Directions: Follow these steps in this order to complete your project. pconnolly16 https://padlet.com/pconnolly16/SPRING2022/wish/2152085698 2022-04-21 13:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pconnolly16/SPRING2022/wish/2152085698 Step 1: Prepare for the Interview pconnolly16 https://padlet.com/pconnolly16/SPRING2022/wish/2152085703
