Feedback and Planning

Feedback

As a result of my feedback, I have learnt that within the Planning element of the task I will need to improve my work on shot lists, layouts, drafting, scripting and storyboarding in order to achieve an excellent level in the grading.

Within the construction element, I need to retake some images therefore I can complete a variety of shots and use Photoshop in order to manipulate them as appropriate to the context, including cropping and re-sizing, as I really need to improve this.

Planning

From Thursday 16th January until the 14th of February, I have two sessions a week as well as my own free time, to develop my front cover, contents page, and double page spread. Therefore, within this time period I will have to retake my images and reconstruct my front cover in order to achieve an excellent grade, by improving things such as lighting, setting and objects used. I will also have to take more appropriate photographs when considering my contents page and double page spread too.

For the duration of this week and possibly the week beginning January 20th, I would like to begin research into contents page and double page spreads as well as retaking my photographs. I would like this element to be completed by that time.

I will begin to manipulate my newly taken photographs within the week of January 20th-27th, whilst continuing to analyse current contents page and double page spreads.

Afterwards, I will have to research contents page and double page spread, in order to analyse them and find inspiration in the ones I like. I will have to find examples and selection current ones in which I like.
I will then have to complete drafts, possibly using the computer with programmes such as Photoshop.
I will complete around three drafts for the contents page and double page spread, in order to achieve a range of ideas to choose from. When creating the contents page and double page spread I will have to:

• Manipulate the images
• Select the appropriate images to feature on the contents page and double page spread
• Make the images stand out [using bright colours, cropping/resizing, Photoshop tools]
• Make sure that conventional elements of the pages are used [for example, on the contents page using page numbers and photographs, on the double page spread having an interview/a lot of text

From the 14th of February to the 11th of April, I will have to allocate time to complete my evaluation and develop it to a good standard during this time period, as it is worth 20% of the grade.
