LEARNING TARGETS:
- Students can evaluate their film “shooting” experience to determine what they have learned.
Refer to your Exposure Table card to answer the questions.
COMPLETE PAGE 1 of How to make test strips HANDOUT, contact test strips and contact sheet. LINK - Students can evaluate their test strips to understand the importance of problem solving exposure settings to achieve a desired result. Each test strip is made with at least one change to the setting- exposure time, filter # or f-stop.
PAGE 2 OF YOUR HANDOUT- CONTACT TEST STRIPS AND SHEETS
Tape the first two test strips as indicated on the page. Write a thoughtful response using complete sentences.Give specifics to make clear points.
COPY the ONTO YOUR CONTACT SHEET HANDOUT ON PAGE 3--
- A contact sheet is a "positive" print of all of the negative's images from one film roll.
All the images are the same as the negative in a 1:1 ratio. - Materials needed: You use the same materials as for the test strip except the stiff card (black or grey).
- How to set-up enlarger for the contact sheet:
You follow the same steps as the test strip except 1) your paper is sized to cover ALL negatives so it may be a half or full sheet and 2) your exposure time is the last "single" exposure time determined from your previous test strip. - Why do we make contact sheets?
It is a useful way of seeing all the images to determine which are the best photos to become prints.
