Objectives
Understand photography as a complex process with areas of interest.
Understand how these zones of interest are related, contributing to the final result.

Understanding how photography can reproduce a certain reality, depending on the options taken in the process of executing that photograph.
Understand the role of photography in the process of visual communication.
Program
1 - Photography as a process, and its areas of interest: the Object, the Camera and the Record;
2 - Light and the Object: basic lighting techniques in photography;
3 - Image formation: framing, exposure control, focus and sharpness;
4 - Image formation: point of view and focal length;
5 - The photographic record as a technique for the manufacture, reproduction and dissemination of images;
6- Artisanal images and technical images. some fundamental questions.
7 - Photography as a communication process;
8 - Photography and narrative;
Evaluation Methodology
Considering that the characteristics of this discipline demand an active participation of the student, it will be appropriate that the evaluation of the learning be done in a continuous way.
Thus, for each of the proposed Experimental Projects, developed in class, a technical report will be requested. The final grade for the semester will be the result of the arithmetic average obtained in the set of these reports. Students with a final grade equal to or greater than 9.5 will be exempt from the Exam. The Exam tests should include a written test (60%) and the presentation of individual reports regarding the follow-up of the Experimental Projects developed in practical classes (40%). The minimum passing grade will be 9.5 points, on a scale of 0 to 20.
