Photography is the art of capturing light with a camera, usually via a digital sensor or film, to
create an image. With the right camera equipment, you can even photograph wavelengths of
light invisible to the human eye, including UV, infrared, and radio.
Photography is the whole world full of adventures, interesting events, stories, games of colors
and light. As one of the most interesting and exciting forms of art, it appeared a long time ago,
and to this time has been greatly influencing the human life. In the 19th century, for example,
the adherents of positivism believed that photography is a science that allows to record reality.
Photography, both art and science, has constantly been improved by different artists, inventors,
scientists, and engineers.
We are all accustomed to believe by taking pictures we capture the best moments of our life,

and photographs help to recall the events of the past. However, there is much more to tell. A
photographer is a painter who depicts his life on a canvas by conveying certain emotions or
experiences, and who describes reality the way he or she sees it or wants it to be. So, we
cannot always be sure whether a photograph reflects reality with the highest accuracy or vice
versa, hides it. Let’s consider a number of current arguments and facts about photography, and
find out what it really is.
OBJECTIVES
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
Recognize the history and importance of photography;
Appreciate the “Rule of Third” in photography;
Discuss the types of photography;
Demonstrate understanding of the essential components and features of a camera;
and,
Make a photo essay that displays an ability to do photography.
PRE-TEST

REVIEW OF CONCEPTS
Bracketing – taking a series of images at different exposures or EV. You may see a setting on
your camera that says AEB (auto exposure bracketing). This is often used when creating HDR
images or in difficult lighting situations where you may want to have a range of exposures from
light to dark.
DSLR – digital single lens reflex camera. Any digital camera with interchangeable lenses where
the image is viewed using a mirror and prism, and the image is taken directly through that lens.
What you see in your viewfinder is what the lens sees.

Exposure – the total amount of light reaching the digital sensor. It is controlled by setting the
aperture, shutter speed and ISO.
Shutter speed – the amount of time the shutter is opened during an exposure. The shutter
speed controls motion. Use a fast speed (like 1/2000th of a second) to freeze motion, or a slow
one (1/4 of a second or longer) to blur moving objects.
Ambient light – also referred to as available light, is the light that is occurring in the scene
without adding any flash or light modifiers. This could be daylight, or man made light such as
tungsten or fluorescent bulbs.
Reflector – a device that is used to reflect light, generally back towards the subject. It can be a
specialized factory made reflector or as simple as a piece of white cardboard.
Selfie – a self portrait
Golden hour – also called “magic hour” is the hour right before sunset or right after sunrise.
The sun is low on the horizon and it is an optimal time for photography.
POST-TEST
Photo Essay. Create a photo essay (5 photos) that shows your understanding about the
category provided. Each of the five photos will have its own theme. Try to showcase
variety of photography styles. Put your photos in a PowerPoint and each of it must have
a caption. (I will pick the best photos for every category)
Category #1: Emotions
Category #2: Extraordinary
Category #3: Golden Hour
Category #4: Nature

What is a photo essay? - A photo essay is a series of photographs that tell a story. Unlike a written
essay, a photo essay focuses on visuals instead of words. With a photo essay, you can stretch your
creative limits and explore new ways to connect with your audience. Whatever your photography skill
level, you can recreate your own fun and creative photo essay.

TIME FRAME: 5 hrs.
INTRODUCTION
Music is essential to many of our lives. We listen to it when waking up, while in transit, at work,
and with our friends. For many, music is like a constant companion. It can bring us joy and
motivate us, accompany us through difficult times, and alleviate our worries.
Music is much more than mere entertainment. It has been a feature of every known human
society—anthropologists and sociologists have yet to find a single culture throughout the course
of human history that has not had music. In fact, many evolutionary psychologists today make
the argument that music predated language. Primitive tribes and religious practices have used

music to reach enlightened states for thousands of years, and Pythagoras used music to heal
different psychological and physical ailments. Currently, cutting-edge scientific research has
shown the effect that music has on the brain, the individual, and society.
Not only does music reach us on intellectual, social, and emotional levels, but many describe it
as spiritual or mystical. The use of melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic devices in music can induce
a psychological state in both the musicians and the listener that is beyond words to describe.
Music can bring us back to ourselves, be our mirror, and show us a side of ourselves that we
may have long forgotten or never knew existed.
Even though we are constantly exposed to music in our daily lives, we rarely stop to actually
think about what it is. After all, what exactly is music?
Fundamentally, music is a combination of sounds, and sound is vibration. One of the most
succinct definitions of music comes from the Italian composer Ferruccio Busoni, who said,
“Music is sonorous air.” It's extraordinary to think that a simple vibration unseen by the human
eye can facilitate a deeply rich emotional experience, alter perception and consciousness, and
induce ecstatic states of being. What is the process by which these sonic vibratory frequencies
are heard by the listener, creating a profound psychological experience for them? How does
something as fleeting as "sonorous air" have such a healing and therapeutic effect on people?
And how does it facilitate personal growth?

INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS DRAMA?
Drama. You've heard the word. In fact, you've probably used the word yourself. Maybe you've
said, 'Oh, she's just a drama queen,' or, 'I'm sick of all this drama.' In that context, the word
'drama' is something that has been blown out of proportion. Usually, a 'drama queen' is
someone who is over the top, an over actor.
In literature, the word drama defines a genre, or style of writing. Drama is a play that can be
performed for theatre, radio or even television. These plays are usually written out as a script, or
a written version of a play that is read by the actors but not the audience.
This is where theatre comes in. Drama, as in a play, is meant to be performed on a stage in
front of an audience at the theatre. So, drama refers to the script, while the word theatre is the
performance of the script. While it might seem completely disconnected from what we mean
when we say drama today, consider it this way: someone who is dramatic is sort of a performer
on a stage, hoping for everyone's attention. See, they're more related than you thought!

REVIEW OF CONCEPTS
1. Anagnorisis/recognition: point in the play during which the tragic hero experiences a kind of
self-understanding; the discovery or recognition that leads to the peripeteia or reversa
2. Antagonist: the character who opposes the protagonist.
3. Catharsis: a purgation of emotions. According to Aristotle, the end of tragedy is the purgation
of emotions through pity and terror.
4. Dramatic irony: the words or acts of a character may carry a meaning unperceived by the
character but understood by the audience. The irony resides in the contrast between the
meaning intended by the speaker and the different significance seen by others.
5. Foil: any character in a play who through contrast underscores the distinctive characteristics
of another, particularly the protagonist.
6. Freytag's Pyramid is a paradigm of dramatic structure outlining the seven key steps in
successful storytelling: exposition, inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action,
resolution, and denouement.
7. Hamartia: tragic flaw
8. Hubris: overweening pride or insolence that results in the misfortune of the protagonist of a
tragedy. Hubris leads the protagonist to break a moral law, attempt vainly to transcend normal
limitations, or ignore a divine warning with calamitous results.
9. Peripeteia/reversal: reversal of fortune for the protagonist--from failure to success or success
to failure.
10. Proscenium or proscenium stage: an arch that frames a box set and holds the curtain, thus
creating the invisible fourth wall through which the audience sees the action of the play.
11. Protagonist: the chief character in a work
12. Stock character: conventional character types whom the audience recognizes immediately.
Examples: the country bumpkin, the shrewish wife, the braggart soldier
13. Thrust or apron stage: A stage that projects into the auditorium area, thus increasing the
space for action; a characteristic feature of Elizabethan theaters and many recent ones.
14. Tragic hero: According to Aristotle, the protagonist or hero of a tragedy must be brought
from happiness to misery and should be a person who is better than ordinary people--a king, for
example. In "Tragedy and the Common Man," Arthur Miller argues that the ordinary man can
also be a tragic hero.
15. Unity of time, place, and action ("the unities"): limiting the time, place, and action of a play to
a single spot and a single action over the period of 24 hours.
