Objectives
a) Sensitometry of photographic materials. Operate Densitometers. Analyze and interpret sensitometric curves of analog and digital materials.
b) Know how to technically operate 35 mm, medium and large format cameras, in all their functions.
c) Carries out a free-theme project, applying one of the techniques learnt.
Program
1) Sensitivity of analogue photographic materials.
2) Density and its relationship with exposure.
3) Sensitometric curve, its parameters and analysis.
4) Natural light and artificial light sources. Human eye - functioning. Analog and digital sensors.
5) Handling of small, medium and large format cameras, with any optical medium: development of a project, film development, delivery of enlargements.
6) Basic photometry: integrated and autonomous photometers.
7) Black and white analog photosensitive media: handling and processing.
Evaluation Methodology
Continuous assessment.
Theory (50% of the final mark): individual research work with final presentation.
Practice (50% of the final mark): exercises to be handed in at the end of term, accompanied by a brief report.
During the Examination and Appeal Exam periods, assessment consists of a written theoretical test (and delivery of practical exercises, if applicable). Students who do not obtain a minimum grade of 8 out of 20 points in any of the assessment elements described above (theoretical and practical) will fail.
