UNIT 4 Evaluation

UNIT 4 Evaluation

The first task is primary research where we were set out to take photos of these listed subjects:

• Happy
• Fast 
• Weather 
• Character
• Busy
• Empty

After I had taken all my images I created contact sheets for each subject, and then I uploaded/printed out my contact sheets. After I then circled the contacts on which ones I chose to edit. After editing Mike had expressed that he wanted one to three photos off each student so that we could all discuss if our images represented the subjects, although we had to guess instead of knowing what images where for which subject that way we could tell if we effectively communicated the imagery of the subjects. The next task which was set was called task 1a communication, and this involved us to get a minimum of six images which grabbed my attention. 

These six images where:

-UNWomen poster by Christopher John Hunt

-Don’t talk while driving by Mallikarjun

-Sleepiness is stronger than you by Nok Pipattungku 

-Your skin colour shouldn’t dictate your future by Yann Robert

-Skin care by heroin by Clive Arrowsmith

-Quick.Slow. By Mike Parsons.

   

Out of the six images I needed two library sources, this is because we needed a variety of images for example historical and contemporary which we learned about in our film unit. After I had all my images I needed to get all of the photographers who created them, and write about what I thought was communicated through them. I also had to write about if I thought the images where effective and why, and write about if I thought the images where computer manipulated or not. The next task which is called task 1b cybercrime research. 

In this task I had to research three areas of cybercrime which were:

-Sexting

-Password Protection

-The Dark Web

For each of these areas I had to write at least 250 words describing what they were about. The next part of the task I had to find two existing images minimum for each subject, and describe,evaluate and see if they where effective at communicating. Next was the planning of my photoshoots for these subjects, and this mean’t I could create many planning sheets but I set mine at a maximum of three because I knew that at the end of the project I only needed an image per area. After I planned my photoshoots I then did some sketches of each plan and did a visual mood board to give me some inspiration. I then did my photoshoots and created contact sheets.

After the contacts I then edited some of my images and narrowed them down to one per subject, so in total three final images. After editing my images I then cropped them to an A4 size which depending on horizontal, and vertical where 297cm by 210cm and a resolution of 402. Once I fully edited my images I then put them on to an SD card and went to ProAm to get them produced. 20 minutes later I then picked up my prints and put them into my folder with all of my work to be presented for assessment.
