In this assignment you will demonstrate ability to pre – visualize your images. Photographers may or may not have a prewritten shot list, but they almost always have some idea how and where to be in order to capture an image, whatever the assignment. Previsualizing compositions is a key to success not only in photography, but in every field of graphic design.

Skill in previsualization comes with experience, and that experience comes with the use of compositional and framing techniques and an understanding of points of view.

Scenario:

You are the head photographer at a local newspaper, and the editor requests photographs for an upcoming 4th of July Parade. She wants to publish the photographs with an up-lifting community-focused story. She is requesting photographs that focus on family and local business/government interaction with the community.

She wants at least:

• one overall wide shot of the parade
• one medium shot
• one close-up

The parade will typically feature the high school’s marching band, the mayor riding on the back of a convertible, state pageant winners performing their best princess waves, local sports teams throwing candy to children, community-made floats, local non-profits with large banners walking down main street, clowns riding unicycles, and decorated military marching.

There will be spectators with lawn chairs, flags, pets, and children playing. Food vendors will line the downtown’s main street serving BBQ and hotdogs, ice cream, and snow cones.

Can you envision a Fourth of July parade in your mind? Can you imagine all of the people and activities both in the parade and those watching the parade?

Now visualize the photographs that should be taken for your assignment. For each of the three types of photographs you know you’ll have to take, what subject would be the most important to capture and WHY?

The Assignment:

Provide a list of 6 specific photos—two (2) for each of the wide, medium, and closeup images which are needed for the article—that you would shoot to fulfill the assignment. What would you look for as the foreground subject? What would be in the background? What would be the point of view?

List your 6 photo ideas in a Word document, with a two or three sentence description of the type of image (wide, medium, close-up), your camera’s point of view, how you imagine you’d compose it (don’t simply say you’d use the rule-of-thirds; be more specific), and why this would be a strong image for the article. Include a cover page with your name, the assignment name, and the course.

M7 – GM Micro-Challenge: Crawling w/ Opportunity

Your manager’s memo to you is below. In it your manager is giving you tasks to address regarding international trade. You are not expected to be an expert, just willing and able to use the resources available to develop an accurate response.

Your memo should start with an introduction that reminds the manager what s/he requested you to do. Next, overview the information your manager can expect to find in your memo. After that, respond to each topic you were requested to address in sequence. For each topic, your response should clearly state the question(s) you understood you were to address. Then give a written response to the question that summarizes the source information. Your written response should then be supported with (1) an image that shows the specific source information you used, and (2) a weblink to that source in case your manager wants to seek out additional information. Note: An image does not replace your written response, it only shows the source information used. Finally, you may choose to provide a conclusion to your memo.

Images may be screen clipped to include them. That image should show the name of YOUR COUNTRY/YOUR STATE.

The persuasive speech is your final major speech! You can find specifics on persuasive speaking in chapter 13. Here, the goal is to build upon the information shared in the last speech, with a direct call to action for your audience. In short, you want them to do something and in this speech, you’re telling them what to do and why. You will provide a 5-9 minute speech where you provide a persuasive appeal related to your topic (note that this speech is longer than the informative). You must cite at least three (3) academic/scholarly sources in your speech. You may need to do further research beyond your chart last week (as is common as you further develop your specific purpose in speaking). 

A few helpful hints: 

• Remember, this speech requires research as support–not just personal testimony. Your research must be scholarly in nature. Both speeches must use different sources (you can re-cite sources, but they do not count towards your source requirement for that speech). Be sure you document sources in both your outline and your speech. See the Wagner Citing Sources article for how to cite sources in a speech.
• Remember to submit your outline to the folder (in this module, below this assignment) as a Microsoft Word Document. You will not submit your outline here. ensuring you use full sentences, clear structure, and cited sources IN the outline (APA in-text citation style) and in an accompanying APA reference list. 
• In the comment box, you will submit a link to your speech (on YouTube, Vimeo, or another external streaming platform). Note that students who submit a file-copy of their video as an attachment will receive an automatic 25-point deduction. 

Your speech should employ the best practices of public speaking highlights in our textbook. In particular, please be sure you: 

• Begin with an opening and engaging hook! Don’t give us name (we can see it on your streaming link); don’t ask questions we can’t answer, and don’t beat around the bush! Spend those first few valuable seconds getting our attention!
• Be sure to give a clear preview (tell us what you will talk about in your speech) right near the beginning of your speech. This can be as simple as “Today, I hope to convince you to participate in some form of social justice activism in the next 12 months” (this would come AFTER you get our attention with that hook). 
• Make sure your speech has identifiable main points and sub-points–bring that outline to life! And of course, be sure to transition between points so it is clear to us, as the audience, where you are going. 
• Use sources to support your claims. Please refer to your chart and to the article posted in this module on citing sources aloud–be sure to clearly communicate the details of those sources to help give you speech the credibility it needs!
• Be sure to let us know a conclusion is coming, too! Something as simple as, “As I start to conclude, I want to again….” This is also a good place to re-insert that thesis or preview (a review statement, where you tell us what you told us in your speech). 
• End on a definitive note!  Make sure your conclusion is a STRONG one and it is clear you are done. Don’t say “well….that’s it” or “Ok…I’m done.” End, pause, and then turn off the video. 

1. Identify a minimum of 30 project activities.
2. Estimate activity durations and properly sequence these activities, and assume the project will take at least two months to finish.
3. Then, develop a computer-generated project schedule (see the note below regarding the scheduling software application options) with the planned start date of December 1 next year.
4. Customize the project calendar and assume that your company does not work the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, but works on Saturdays. Provide a .pdf copy of the entire project schedule on which the project’s critical path is identified (activity bars should be red for the critical activities) and fit the schedule to one-page width. Make you include the Gantt view and the following columns (i.e., activity attributes) on the activity list: activity ID, Name, Duration, Early Start, Early Finish, Predecessor, Successor, and Total Float.
5. Please use the project in the paper below to do this. 

I need an explanation for this question to help me study.

Chapter 2, “Does Your Organization Have a Learning Disability?,” (I have uploaded the Chapter reading for this discussion) describes ways to evaluate the current state of an organization. You’ll get a chance to try these ideas out yourself in the discussion for this week.

Examples of organizational disabilities Organizations—and problems—have grown in complexity. As Senge and others observe, unless we can recognize the systemic structures that underlie complexity, even the brightest people will find that, despite their best efforts and intentions, they are not achieving their intended results

For this discussion, share an example of an organization (I work in education at a private school as an After-school care & summer camp coordinator so the organization needs to be focused around that) that exhibits one or more of the disabilities discussed in Chapter 2 of Senge’s The Fifth Discipline. Explain how the disability manifests itself and what the cause may be in terms of Senge’s learning disabilities. The organization may be one in which you are employed, another familiar organization, or one that you have read or heard about. The key is to begin to recognize the common signs that inhibit organizations from learning.

I don’t understand this question and need help to study.

Briefly Explain what takes place in the body after death; that is, when does the body start to decompose, how does the following variables impact time of death and decomposition of the body:

• temperature
• time
• location of the body ( outdoors, indoors)
• and FYI ( but not required to address) there are other variables explained in the class text.

To properly answer the three-part question, the student must include a two paragraph response briefly and concisely denoting and addressing all of mentioned the variables ( three) as they relate to time of death. Chapter 9 in the text clearly and concisely explains the dynamics involved on the subject.

Since communications must be targeted to a specific audience, before you can create a product brief for a client, you must know more about the client. Your knowledge of the client will inform the decisions you make in the client brief—from the type of language you use to how you present data and graphics. To begin this milestone activity:

1. Choose one of the software design documents to focus on for both 2-1 Milestone Activity: Audience Persona and Project One: Non-technical Audiences.
2. Consider all of the different groups of people (audiences) who are likely to use that application.
3. Choose one audience to focus on for your persona.
4. Choose a stock picture and name for the persona that will serve as the representation of your chosen audience.
5. Identify demographics and psychographics associated with this audience I have added the document that you will need to see before starting the project is going to be project 1 the first page.
