Photo Story Proposal

For my photo story, I was thinking about doing the Women's Soccer Game this Friday night against Elon. I think that my photo story is significant because it involves students and school spirit and it shows off the beautiful athletic facilities that High Point has to offer. The scope of my story allows me to complete the project in the space and time available because I don't have to leave campus and since I am doing it this Friday it will give me enough time to go through all the photos to pick which ones I want to use.

The visual components of my story would include different shots of the field, a close up of a players face, a winning shot, someone kicking a ball, someone preparing to score a goal, and possibly a celebration of the win. I want my story to include all the aspects of what it takes to play soccer because it will be easier for the viewer to understand.

If my subject doesn't cooperate, so for example if a player doesn't want a picture taken I will have to ask someone else on the team who would be willing to take a picture. If I don't get all the shots I want, I will be able to go to another game. Lastly, some possible technical problems I could encounter would be that my camera battery and/or camera doesn't work.

About Me

My name is Olivia Hopf and I am from Bedford, NY a town that is about 45 min north of New York City. I have a younger brother, John, he is 9 years old and super athletic along with entertaining.

All throughout high school I played field hockey and lacrosse. Besides playing sports I love to take pictures both digital and film. Film photography is my favorite because I love the whole process of developing and printing because I like knowing that I worked hard to create an image. But not many people have the opportunity to use a dark room throughout high school, and I can't wait to continue photography at High Point.

Another hobby that I love to do is coach/teach younger kids how to play field hockey. For the past two years I coached a rec team in my town and this summer I coached kids at a camp in a town near me. I enjoy teaching younger kids how to love the sport they play and to never give up on something you love to do.
