 Here's a checklist of the kind of content that you should look to include in your Pinhole work.

1. Two pages of research - Lauren E Simonutti
2. Two pages of research - Deborah Turberville.
3. Intro page to the practical work - explaining the basics of what you need to do and how it links to the work of the two photographers above.
4. Picture of your camera
5. Diagrams or images of the components of the camera with explanations of how it was made. 
   
   
   

Do not use this image in your work - draw/copy your own version.

6. Include a picture of your paper box with the details from the product data sheet here 

7. Explain how the paper is fixed in the box and the light conditions this needs to happen in. (Use diagrams).

8. Explain how the shutter works to control the exposure time. 

9. Use a photo of the set and explain how the image was taken showing where the camera was situated in relation to you. This can also be done with a 'Floor plan'... a diagram of the set as viewed from above, see below for an example.

10. Describe the light conditions you shot in - what light was it 'Point' or 'Diffuse'? Use the diagrams you were shown in class to help explain the difference between the 2 types.

11. Then start to put your images into the design sheet in the order that you shot them in or as close as you can remember - use both types negatives and positives from Day 1.

12. Explain how you turned the negatives into positive images. (Photo-shop Invert and Curves). 

13. Use images of the 'Flatbed' scanner and the Photo-copier scanner and explain what setting were used.

14 - Use these links here to describe the materials you've used.

The camera body Cardboard
Duct tape 
Masking tape

15. Use a picture of the darkroom with the trays in and describe the process/sequence.

16. Put the images into the design sheet from Day 2 on-wards. Primarily use Positive images and discuss and explain your ideas development - reflect on whether you feel that the images are increasingly becoming 'Creepier/sinister/disturbing - what more can you do to improve the sense of the images being creepy/sinister.

17. Show further development of your idea discuss the use of the background and props.

18. In the last few days - try and shoot your 2 best images with your best idea. 

19. Write a final evaluation - All that is required in the evaluation is (A) Seven brief descriptions of things that you have learned about photography/light/cameras. (B). Four things where you think you have weaknesses/deficiencies in your knowledge that you need to improve and learn more about. Title the first section (A) Development of my own practice and (B) What I need to improve further. This goes at the very end of the work.
