Teaching students how to compile mulitiple exposures.

2. What is a multiple exposure?
0 Several different approaches
0 Multiple Exposure in Camera
0 Multiple Exposure in Photoshop
0 Blended Exposures vs. Multiplicity
0 Layered images
0 Same scene shot several times
0 Can be single subject or multiple subject
0 Photoshop used to blend layers together and create
impression of multiplicity or blended pictures
0 Can be done with any kind of camera

3. Multiplicity
Single setting, shot several times with the subject moving each time.

4. Blended Exposures
Two different shots, blended together to create a single image.
Can be done in-camera or in photoshop (depending on the camera).

5. Multiplicity, multiple subjects
Several different frames, blended together, with more than one subject.

6. Blended exposure, single subject
The same scene is shot many times and blended together to create the
impression of movement.

0 Eliminate distractions
0 Make sure everything “fits”
0 Set up your tripod
0 Mount camera
0 Adjust your settings
0 White balance
0 Shutter/ISO/F Stop

10. Shooting for multiplicity
0 Take several series of photos
0 Make sure your subject moves enough to not overlap
0 Make sure the differences in each “stage” are drastically
different
0 Go through the process several times, marking the
start and end with a dead frame
0 Any change in settings, light, etc. will make it so your
images won’t blend together correctly

11. Multiplicity Project
0 Groups of 3
0 Same boundaries
0 (hot lava, etc.)
0 This will be easier if you
shoot inside
0 Each person will have a
“scenario” that they shoot
& edit
0 Each scenario needs the
subject to appear at least 4
times

12. Multiplicity Project
Settings
0 ISO
0 Probably 400
0 F Stop
0 Depends on shutter
0 Shutter
0 If you want to stop
action, it needs to be
fast
0 White Balance
0 Depends on where
you are

13. Timeline for Multiplicity
0 You will shoot and save your shots today
0 Next class, we will go over editing them in photoshop
and blending them together
0 Your shots are due by the end of the day Friday
