  1. Revised Higher Course Event Photography

  2. Welcome

  3. Aims of the day This event will support teachers and lecturers in their understanding of the requirements of the revised course assessment for Higher Photography by: • reviewing published course documentation • explaining the requirements of the course assessment

  4. Overview • The content of the course has not changed • A question paper component has been introduced • Content previously only assessed in the units is now included in the course assessment • Marking instructions for the project have been revised

  5. Course structure The course is comprised of two components and has a total mark allocation of 130: • Component 1: question paper – 30 marks (23%) • Component 2: project – 100 marks (77%)

  6. Course documentation

  7. Support documentation The following documents are available on our website to assist teachers and lecturers in delivering the course: • course specification (including course support notes) • coursework assessment task • specimen question paper & marking instructions

  8. Course specification Mandatory course content p5 – p10 This information details the skills, knowledge and understanding sampled in the question paper and project. Course assessment structure p12 – p15 This section explains the structure of both the question paper and the project with detailed information on mark allocations.

  9. Course specification cont. • Appendix at the end of the course specification document • Provides advice and guidance on approaches to delivering the course and preparing candidates for the coursework assessment task and question paper

  10. Coursework assessment task Contains: • instructions for teachers and lecturers • marking instructions • instructions for candidates

  11. Specimen question paper and marking instructions • Shows the presentation format and structure that future question papers will adhere to • Full marking instructions explain how marks are allocated and include the general marking principles

  12. Question paper

  13. Overview • Requires candidates to integrate and apply knowledge and skills from across the course • Allows candidates to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of light and image formation, camera controls, image-making techniques and their effects • Structured paper - it will contain spaces for candidates to write their responses

  14. Structure A range of genres and styles will be represented in the question paper. Images for questions 11 and 12 are selected from the following genres: • portraiture • still life • landscape • urban environment • natural world • documentary

  15. Structure cont. The question paper has two sections: • Section 1: Multiple choice – 10 marks • Section 2: Analysis – 20 marks The time allocated to the question paper is 1 hour Candidates should attempt all questions

  16. Section 1: multiple choice Questions 1 – 10 are multiple choice Each question is worth 1 mark Questions may incorporate images or diagrams Marks are awarded for demonstrating knowledge and understanding of: • the properties of light and image formation • camera controls • image-making techniques and their effects

  17. Section 1: example questions

  18. Section 1: example questions

  19. Section 1: example questions

  20. Section 2: analysis • Questions 11 and 12 require an extended response • Each question will contain an unseen image • Each question is worth 10 marks • These questions assess candidates’ creative and technical understanding of photography • Images will represent different styles and genres

  21. Section 2: analysis Candidates are awarded marks for applying knowledge and understanding of: • the properties of light, image formation and photographic practice • drawing valid conclusions and giving explanations supported by justification

  22. Question 11 • This question is based on an unseen image • This question is broken down into parts which require candidates to respond to specific creative and technical elements of the given image • Each part will have an allocation of between 2 and 4 marks (10 marks total) • Large image will be provided on supplementary sheet

  23. Question 11: example response shutter speed used to create a long exposure. This would capture the movement of the car and bus lights and cause the motion blur effect of the moving lights. Marker guidance: Award 1 mark for correct identification of the camera control. Award 1 mark for a correct explanation.

  24. Question 12 • Open-ended question based on an unseen image • Candidates are required to discuss the technical and creative decisions made by the photographer • Total allocation of 10 marks • Large image will be provided on supplementary sheet

  25. Question 12: example response The choice of lens may have been telephoto as the field of view appears narrower than human vision, although the focal length selected could not have been too long as it seems quite a confined and restricted place to set up a photoshoot. The viewpoint has been set up to include the clocks as subject matter. They seem more centrally placed and dominant than the subject. The photographer may have wanted to symbolise the passing of time, relating to the subject’s old age. Marker guidance: Award 1 mark for each justified point discussing the photographer’s technical and creative decisions, up to a maximum of 10 marks.

  26. Section 2: command words

  27. Preparing candidates • explain the concepts that could come up in the question paper • ensure that they are familiar with photography from a range of genres and styles • share the specimen question paper and marking instructions with them • explain the meaning of the photographic terminology that they are likely to encounter in the question paper

  28. Preparing candidates • advise on how to respond effectively to the command words in the questions • advise on how to apply knowledge and understanding to the questions asked, so they can explain and discuss image-making techniques and their effects in an analytical way • advise on how to answer extended-response questions • explain how marks are awarded, according to the marking instructions

  29. Preparing candidates • give them opportunities to attempt examination-style questions and to receive feedback on their performance • ask them to respond to questions within a time limit to help improve their exam technique • give them the opportunity to sit a practice examination • mark their homework, class tests and practice examination work in line with the marking instructions
