Help Board Beginning Production Video Guide Web Dev. By closely examining images and audience reactions, students hypothesize about how and why images can be powerful. The assignment can be constrained to include only images which relate to the content of students' projects. As individuals or in groups, students search for and gather images that strike them as powerful.
Students select one image or a set of similar images.
They discuss and write down ideas of why the image is particularly powerful. Students develop a hypothesis about why their image seems powerful to them and how other people are likely to react to the image. They may test their ideas by asking other people how they react to the image. The class can compile their images and writings into an image resource binder so that students can borrow the images and ideas when working on future projects. As projects take shape and particular images are needed, students can list what they need and keep an eye out for images their classmates might need.
