Hello and Goodbye

Hi everybody, this is Misterduncan in England. How are you today? Are you okay? I hope so!
Are you happy? I hope so!
In today's lesson, we're going to talk all about saying 'hello' and 'goodbye'.

When we first meet someone, whether it is someone we know, or someone we are meeting for
the first time, we will normally use a simple sentence as a way of greeting them.

A greeting is a friendly way of opening a conversation, or as a way of letting the other person
know that we have seen them. There are many ways to say hello.

Well I have come to the end of this lesson, so I must bid you a fond farewell. Until the next time
we meet here on the super-duper Internet highway.

Telling Story through Pictures

The Short Story

Stories come in all shapes and sizes. Some are long (novels or even trilogies of novels) but
others are short. Thinking photographically, these short stories might be one, or maybe two,
images.

Most newspaper photography fits into this category of storytelling one image that attempts to
capture the essence of an accompanying written story. They dont have the luxury of multiple
frames to introduce, explore and conclude so almost always tell the story of a single event rather
than a longer one.

Such shots need to have something in them that grabs the attention of a viewer. They also will
usually have visual and/or narrative focal points that lead the viewer into the photo.

Short Stories photos are often shots that leave the viewer of the photograph wondering about
what they are looking at not because they dont understand it but because they intrigue and
leave people imagining what is going on behind the image and what other future images of the
scene might look like. In a sense these single image stories are often just as powerful because of
what they dont include in the shot as to what they do include.

Introduce Relationship When telling a story through a single image think about including
more than one person in the shot when you do this you introduce relationship into a photo
which will conjure up all types of thoughts in the viewers of your shots.

Having said that, sometimes carefully framing a second person OUT of your shot can add to the
story youre trying to tell. Leaving evidence in the shot of a second unseen person can add
questions to your viewers minds (ie a shot of a person alone at a table with two cups of coffee in
front of them or a shot of someone talking animatedly to an unseen person). Unseen elements
of a photo can add a lot.

Also think about context whats going on around your subject? Whats in the background?
What does the other elements of the photo say about your subject and whats going on in their
lives? Of course you dont want to be too obvious about setting your background up doing so
could lead to cliched shots.

DwiErlin Effendi
Multiple Image Stories

One of the mistakes that I find many new photographers making is that they find they need to
put every possible element of a story or scene into each photograph that they take. This leads to
photos that can be quite cluttered, that have too many focal points and that confuse the viewer of
them.

One way to avoid this and yet to still tell a story with your images is to take a series of them. In a
sense what youre doing here is a step towards shooting a movie with your shots (a movie is a
sequence of many thousands of images run together to tell a story).

Series of shots used to tell a story can be anything from two or three shots arranged in a frame or
collage through to hundreds of shots arranged in an album (online or printed).

A common multiple image story that many of us will be familiar with will be the photography
we do on a vacation. Whether we consider it or not such a series of shots documents the
experiences that we have over a period of days/weeks or even months. Ive included a few
photos (right) from one of my recent trips that tells the story of a night a group of us had
smoking apple tobacco at a Turkish cafe.

Other multiple shot stories might include weddings, parties, conferences etc.

Structure

Ive not studied the art of storytelling in great depth but even from my high school studies of
creative writing know that good stories dont just happen. They take planning and some type of
structure.

Before you start photographing your story consider what type of shots you might need to tell it.
Basic stories will usually include the elements of introduction, plot/body and conclusion:

1. Introduction shots that put the rest of the images into context. These shots introduce
important characters that will follow, give information about the place where the story is
happening, set the tone that the story will be told in and introduce the themes that the story will
meander through (see below for more on themes).

Introductory shots need to lead viewers into the body of the story. If you think about a good
novel, its often the first few paragraphs that determine whether people will buy and read the
book in full or not the same is true with visual stories. Introductory shots should give people a
reason to go deeper into the story.

DwiErlin Effendi
So in a travel album these shots might show the travelers packing, could include a macro shot
of a map of the destination or of the tickets etc.

2. Plot good stories are more than just empty words. They explore ideas, feelings, experiences
etc on a deeper level. Plot shots will probably make up the majority of your photographic story.
They show what happens but also explore themes and ideas.

So in a travel album I try to identify themes in my shots that I will revisit throughout a trip.
Types of themes might include:

a. Visual themes perhaps colors or shapes that come up again and again on a trip for
example a friend recently showed me his album from a recent trip to the Greek Islands
that featured quite a few shots with white buildings and blue seas very powerful.
b. Stylistic themes repetition of photographic techniques and styles. For example on my
last overseas trip I decided to include a series of macro shots of the different flora that I
saw and ended up with a series of shots of flowers from a variety of different parts of the
world.
c. Locational themes reoccurring photos from similar types of places. For example on a
trip a few years back I decided to make markets a theme in my shots across the trip. I
sought out and photographed markets in every city and town we visited. I found it
fascinating to see the similarities and differences between them.
d. Relational themes shots that focus upon a person or people over time. On a travel
story this might document the moods of a person as they go through the highs and lows
of travel or could document the development of a relationship between friends, lovers,
siblings etc over time.

A photographic story might just focus upon one theme or could intertwine a number of them.
Not every shot in a travel album will probably fit in with themes but I find that when you work
to build them into what you do that there is a real payoff.

Sometimes themes will emerge while youre on the go (on a trip for example things will hit you
while on the road that youd never have expected to explore) but many of them are things that
you need to consider and plan for. For example my market and flora themes were things I
had to build into my trip. I sought these shots out and put myself in places where Id get the
shots I was after.

Some photographers write themselves a hit list of shots that they want to get in a given day
(this is what I do with weddings) while others do it more informally in their mind but most
good photographers have the ability to not only take good spontaneous shots but also are quite
intentional about getting the types of shots that they need.

DwiErlin Effendi
3. Conclusion good story tellers are quite intentional about the way they end their stories. Last
impressions count and its worth considering what lasting image/s you want to leave with the
viewer of your photos.

By no means do you need to tie up your story neatly (good stories sometimes leave people
feeling unsettled and wanting resolution) but do consider how you want to end.

To continue our travel story example, concluding shots could be anything from the cliched
sunset shot (I think its been overdone personally) through to airport shots, unpacking shots,
plane shots, some shots from the last meal at the destination, signs to the airport etcetc etc.

Example:Playing Golf

Business is an economic activity, which is related with continuous and regular
production and distribution of goods and services for satisfying human wants.

Writing
Business Letter

The term business letters refers to any written communication that begins with a salutation,
ends with a signature and whose contents are professional in nature. Historically, business letters
were sent via postal mail or courier, although the Internet is rapidly changing the way businesses
communicate. There are many standard types of business letters, and each of them has a specific
focus.

The kinds of business letters:

1. Sales Letters
Typical sales letters start off with a very strong statement to capture the interest of the
reader. Since the purpose is to get the reader to do something, these letters include strong
calls to action, detail the benefit to the reader of taking the action and include
information to help the reader to act, such as including a telephone number or website
link.
2. Order Letters
Order letters are sent by consumers or businesses to a manufacturer, retailer or
wholesaler to order goods or services. These letters must contain specific information
such as model number, name of the product, the quantity desired and expected price.
Payment is sometimes included with the letter.
3. Complaint Letters
The words and tone you choose to use in a letter complaining to a business may be the
deciding factor on whether your complaint is satisfied. Be direct but tactful and always
use a professional tone if you want the company to listen to you.
4. Adjustment Letters
An adjustment letter is normally sent in response to a claim or complaint. If the
adjustment is in the customers favor, begin the letter with that news. If not, keep your
tone factual and let the customer know that you understand the complaint.
5. Inquiry Letters
Inquiry letters ask a question or elicit information from the recipient. When composing
this type of letter, keep it clear and succinct and list exactly what information you need.
Be sure to include your contact information so that it is easy for the reader to respond.
6. Follow-Up Letter
Follow-up letters are usually sent after some type of initial communication. This could be
a sales department thanking a customer for an order, a businessman reviewing the
outcome of a meeting or a job seeker inquiring about the status of his application. In
many cases, these letters are a combination thank-you note and sales letter.

DwiErlin Effendi
 7. Letters of Recommendation
Prospective employers often ask job applicants for letters of recommendation before they
hire them. This type of letter is usually from a previous employer or professor, and it
describes the senders relationship with and opinion of the job seeker.
8. Acknowledgment Letters
Acknowledgment letters act as simple receipts. Businesses send them to let others know
that they have received a prior communication, but action may or may not have taken
place.
9. Cover Letter
Cover letters usually accompany a package, report or other merchandise. They are used
to describe what is enclosed, why it is being sent and what the recipient should do with
it, if there is any action that needs to be taken. These types of letters are generally very
short and succinct.
10. Letters of Resignation
When an employee plans to leave his job, a letter of resignation is usually sent to his
immediate manager giving him notice and letting him know when the last day of
employment will be. In many cases, the employee also will detail his reason for leaving
the company.
11. Memorandum Letter
A memorandum letter is a formal letter that normally circulates within the offices. It
is intended to give notification of changes or any point of interest to the employees. It
is commonly called memo.

The basic elements of business letter:

1. Letter Head/ Heading.
2. Reference.
3. Date.
4. Receivers Name and Address. (Inside Address)
5. Salutation.
6. Subject
7. Main Body.

Writing Application Letter and CV

Application letters are an important attachment that job seekers should include with their
resume. An application or cover letter is essential when applying for a job. Some managers will
not even review a rsum if an application letter is not included. It is the key to capturing the
interest of the interviewer. The application letter is a type of "sales letter"--you are selling your
skills to the interviewer. It can make or break your chances of landing a job interview.
Instruction
1. List your skills and accomplishments. Rank the items in order of importance or relevance
to the job for which you are applying.

2. Fill in the details that coincide with the skills, education and accomplishments that you
have listed. Focus on adding in-depth facts that prove you can perform the job in
question. Review the job duties that are required so you can write about your specific
expertise.

3. Write a rough draft of your application letter. Address the manager or interviewer
formally using Mr. or Ms. and the person's last name, if available. Next, double-space
and proceed with the contents of the letter. Begin the body of the letter with a sentence
that will capture the attention of the reader. Introduce yourself by selling yourself to the
interviewer. Instead of saying my name is Joe and I can sell your products, begin by
stating an accomplishment like: I held the sales record at Blank Industries in 2007. I am
ready to put my skills to work for your company and help you to earn record-breaking
sales this year.

4. Once you have incorporated your abilities, relevant experience and education, you will
need to proofread your work and run spell check to make sure there are no spelling or
grammar errors in your application letter. These types of mistakes will raise a red flag for
any manager or professional business person.

5. Format the application letter so your name and contact information appears in the upper
left corner. Include the date in the right corner of the letter after your name and other
information (triple space between the two). To end the application letter you can say, "I
look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience," then close by typing
"Sincerely" or "Regards" above your full name. Leave a large enough space between
sincerely and your name so you can sign your name above the typed version of your
name. By signing your name you are personalizing the letter and agreeing to its contents.

DwiErlin Effendi
 Using a professional tone and formatting the letter correctly will score points with the
person who will be reviewing the applicants.

6. When you have perfected the final draft, you should print it out on crisp, white 8 -by-
11-inch paper. Use a traditional font like Arial, Verdana or Times New Roman. Don't
want to use a fancy font that will distract from the purpose of your letter. Make sure the
ink in your printer is full so the letter prints clearly.

7. Put the application letter in a matching #10 envelope with your rsum and other
pertinent information that you are required to submit. Use the computer to print the
mailing address and your return address directly on the envelope.
Tips & Warnings
The application letter is your opportunity to sell yourself to prospective employers. Make sure
that the document communicates why you are a good choice for the job. Remember: This letter
is your sales pitch.
Always type application letters and rsums; even if you hand-wrote the application, the other
items should be typed.
Write your own application letter or at least know what is in the letters so you can elaborate on
the information during the interview. Too many people have someone else write their rsum
and/or cover letter. They don't bother to read them so they are not familiar with the information
they contain.
If you have spelling errors and or grammatical mistakes in the application letter, it is likely you
will not make it to the interview process.
