Mark Evaluation

What were you asked to do? (Project brief tasks)

For this project we had to create a photo animation (slide show like animation) illustrating a family story.

What did you make/present?

i made an animation wit both black and white and coloured photos. Some were manipulated in order to create what i needed. I was working on the theory that black and white photos were to express the fact that i can't remember the events, the coloured ones are for things that i do remember.

What did you want to communicate?

I wanted to express my memories. So the theory was that black and white photos were to express the fact that i can't remember the events, the coloured ones are for things that i do remember.

Who was your intended audience?

I don't really know what the target audience is, but i would say that it is for my family mostly. I would see it as a visual record as well as the audio.

What materials and processes did you experiment with?

I played with photo manipulation while doing the final photos for the animation.

What materials and processes did you reject?

I thought about drawing some objects onto the photos but i figured that it would take to much time to do and wouldn't be very effective.

What materials and processes did you use in your final designs?

I used alot of photo manipulation for my photos. Which included changing coloured photos to a black and white one in photoshop and altering their contrast.

How do the materials you chose to use help you to communicate your message to your audience?

Black and white photos and sepia photos show age and make people think that something is old. High contrast inspires damaged images but also a sign of age. Therefor I used this technique to express an idea of age.

What did you do to ensure you worked with tools and materials safely?

while taking photos i made sure people and animals were out of the way and i made sure i wasn't going to fall over something. I also took a break when i needed.

How well did you manage your time?

I don't think i managed my time very well, because i already had the research i had done during the summer, i thought i didn't need to do much more. When i realized that i did, it was too late.

What were your strengths in completing this project?

What would you like to have done differently?

i should have done more research and better prepared my self.

What will you do to ensure you improve for the next project?

if i all ready have research for the next project, i'll make sure to do the research like i didn't have any at all.
