Planning proposal, Evaluation, Reflective Jounal.
Evaluation:
1. What Health and Safety procedures did you follow in the production of this work?
2. What experiments have you undertaken?
3. What techniques have you used in the production of this body of work.
4. What tools and equipment have you used?
5. How has your understanding of materials developed during the production of this work?

I have taken and passed the H&S Quiz to ensure that the methods I use in my work are not dangerous. The main Health and safty issue for me was having cables lieing arround which could lead to me tripping. I have experimented with a range of media as I set out to do in my statement of intent. I have experimented with things like painted animation, stop frame, white board animation, photographic animation, film, and use of camera angles as well as many other things. The main technique I used was to rotterscope footage I took with paint on a2 paper, I used a projector to display the image onto the paper as a guide. I used equipment such as the projector and a lot of A2 paper. I have also used a panasonic camera to shoot the majority of my footage as well as a still camera to evaluate and record. There was also a film camera I used to do the still image film. The main medium was ink and paint. For undertaking this project I have learnt a great deal about how to use ink and paint. I have also discovered through trial and error the amout of frames nessisary to create a smoth animation. I have learnt a lot about rotersoping and the process of animation. I have spent a lot of time expoling camera angles and shooting footage aswell.





































UNIT 02 Develop and adapt ideas creatively

Candidates will draw from a range of sources to explore possible ways forward and will develop them creatively. Candidates will record key stages in their work and will reflect on what they have done, making appropriate changes in response to circumstances and feedback from Tutors and peers. Candidates will follow health & safety procedures when developing and adapting ideas.

Unit 02
Develop and Adapt ideas creatively

Achieved?

Location?

2.1
Use ideas from a range of different sources to explore possible ways forward

Y
Mostly documented in my reflecive journal and on my blog
2.2

Collate, record and present findings about sources to understand the context in which they were made

Y
My Contextual reaserch blog. As well as regular blog
2.3

Use feedback and evaluation of own work to develop chosen ideas creatively

Y
Group discussions recorded in reflective journal.
2.4

Try out and adapt ideas appropriately in response to circumstances and individual ways of working

Y
The fames that I created are an exploration of what I could do wit the media available.
2.5

Maintain a safe working environment
Y
I have taken the Health and safty Quiz
Evaluation:
6. What source material have you used in the production of this body of work?
7. Where did your ideas come from?
8. What went well? And What didn’t go so well?
9. Give specific examples of how feedback and self evaluation influenced the development of your work.

All of my source material is orrigional footage and photographs I have taken myself. This footge was collected over a few days of shooting with a friend that I used as the main charicter. My ideas where generated from my starting point of boundarys. I started at this point and developed it further. Much of my reaserch is evidenced in my contextual reaserch blog, this is where a lot of my inspiration came from. The colour paint and ink bits of my animation worked very well but I feel the parts drawn on the graphics tablet in photoshop were not quite so effective. The whole final piece could be a little more coherant in terms of sequenceing. Many of the group crits I did changed the direction of my project as people with a fresh view on things spotted potential problems and difficulties with what I was trying to do. My reflective journal served as a place for me to evaluate my work as I went along. My blog has been a major part of my reflective process as I could see what I had so far and what more I needed. I have used gifs throughout my project to display animation sequences online which has been invaluable in visualising what things look like.













































UNIT 03 Create, present and review final craft items

In this unit candidates will prepare & produce the final craft item(s) following Health & Safety procedures. Candidates will use materials and techniques and will set their owntargets for making craft items. Candidates will evaluate what they have learnt through the whole craft process and how their final craft item (s) communicates their original ideas and intentions.

Final evaluation.
Evaluation:
10. Identify what have you learnt undertaking this body of work?
11. If you were to undertake the work again, what would you do differently?
12. How could you improve the presentation further?
13. What working methodologies have you explored in the production of this work?

I have learnt a lot about working practises and how to evaluate effectivly in a way that helps me develop my project. I have discovered a lot about how to create an effective animation and how to shoot footage that works well for an animation. If I did this project again I would pay more attention to lighting as this was something I neglected to pay much attention to. I would also have got the main story sorted out sooner. I think the final piece would have been improved if I had done the whole thing with couloured paint rather than partly in photoshop. The overall structure of the piece could have been improved and the continuity clearer. I have explored using many different medias and techniques in the process of creating my final piece.

These are a couple of photos that i reworked with oil paint. The project was based on quotes, i chose: "A city is more than a place in space, its a drama in time"-Sir Patrick Geddes.

...

Charcoal Life Drawing.

...

Dogs & Stencils

These are a few of the final images from a project themed around dogs. The brief was to generate a lot of ideas.

...

Etching

These are a few of my first experiments with etching which was a really satisfying and rewarding process.

...

Animation.

I wasn't sure if it was OK to submit an animation as an example of my work. So if not then just ignore the video. Above the video however are a couple of the landscapes i used in the process of creating it.

...

Idea Generation On A1 Sheets.

These are a few quick sketches from A1 sheets and my book.

I use these to generate ideas and quickly play around with imagery.

...

This is the final image from a project called "Good News Bad News", the project was based on a news paper article which we had to illustrate.

...

I found it very difficult to select just 20 images, but i feel that the images on this blog are a fair representation of my work, it shows a good overview of my style and i hope gives you an idea of what i enjoy doing.
