Initial+Proposal

Initial Proposal My driving question is what are the differences between color pictures and black and white pictures? For my project I plan to make a scrapbook of senior year in all black and white pictures. I want to show how powerful black and white photos can be. In college I’m hoping to minor in photography and I enjoy scrapbooking. I wanted to take on a project that I enjoyed. The timeline of the project is that I’ll take photos of events that happen during my senior year including just hanging out with friends. Then I’ll choose the best photos and covert them into black and white photos. Using these pictures I’ll make a scrapbook of all of the photos.

The areas I plan to research for this project is different types of cameras. Also I’ll research different photographers to study what their approach to taking photos is. Finally I’m going need to research the best ways to covert color photos into black and white. The project will entitle me working on it outside of school. I will have to use my time wisely in class so that I can get all of my research done for it so I have more time after school to take photos. I will use the resources that the library provides and use the camera that I own. My mentor will help stay on track and when I need someone to talk to I know I can go and talk to them.

Right now I don’t see any problems, but problems that could happen are camera malfunctions. If that happens I will have to make sure I have a backup camera that I will be able to use.
