In the first lesson you're going to be making your own personal camera to use for the first project and any subsequent projects you feel it can be used for.
Your work will be written up and recorded in the same way that you've produced your research work e.g. the 3 column method aiming to fill the pages/columns with 70% images and 30% written.
You'll be using a range of different materials to make the camera and produce images with it. In this assignment, for this unit you need to write about the equipment and materials you use, explaining why they are fit for purpose and are suitable for this purpose theme and assignment.
Aluminium drinks can - The lens
Black Polpropylene 'Safe' bags
The camera body Cardboard
Duct tape
Masking tape
The links above take you to the general descriptions of the product and you can use these descriptions to explain why these materials are used (Remember you cannot copy any of the text). This can be potentially done before you see the camera and start using it.
When you search for information about such materials a pre-fix that you can use in for internet searches is Product data sheet followed by the product ...
Another pre-fix that you can use for more technical details is Materials Safety Data sheets these are normally found in a PDF form and normally the information on the 1st or 2nd page are sufficient. It's good practice to screen grab the front page of the PDF in order that you can add it as an image to show that you have accessed it. Then include the key safety points you find that relate to your use of the material.
As much as you can fill your design sheets with images to show what materials you're using. Ideally photograph your own materials using your camera/phone if not find suitable image from the internet.
Using images should help with limiting the amount of written work you do - use the images as much as possible to illustrate what you're identifying in your work. An ideal balance between the use of images and written content should mean your design sheet pages should be 70% images 30% text. Again use small text 10 point Calibri or similar.
