Overall Project Evaluation

For this unit I chose to do the exam question 'Aspects of the Landscape'. I chose this question because I knew I wouldnt need to rely on models and I thought this was vital for my exam as I didnt have to worry of anyone letting me down However by doing this I found that I actually found this project quite boring as I missed using the studio and using peoples facial features to convey certain things. I felt within this project my best work was created when I was abroad in Tunisia, this is because it was very different to everyone elses work, plus the weather was on my side creating very bright beautiful images. Aside from this I also think my best work was my exam work as I feel I tried a lot harder when I was in my exam as it was a lot my pressurized because of the time limit and having to complete a certain amount of shoots, this benefited me as I work a lot better with pressure.

Some of my favorite work from this project:

If I had to do this project again I would really improve my time keeping, as it took me a long time to finish all my contextual, however this seems to have been a running theme within all of my projects. Also if I was to do this project again I would spend more time thinking about possible shoots and I would put a lot more effort into them, travelling to further places, like I did for my exam.

With this project I feel I didnt over edit images leaving elements of naturalness within them, I think this brought the aspect of naturalness to my project as a whole. This is something I liked as I really admired the running theme, I really wish I did my photographer research at the beginning as opposed to later on because once I had completed them I realised there was aspects within their work I wanted to use, or work I wanted to recreate as my own.

Part of me wishes I had went with the exam question of multiple imagery, I should have researched and thought about it more when creating my mindmap when I had chose it as a possible question because after seeing the work of people in my class who had chose that question, I could of done imagery grids, gifs, overlays, multiple exposures etc.

Overall I didnt really like this project as I found it boring and a bit same old same old. I wish I had chose a question which entitled me to use people and the studio, I think this would of been really helpful as I wouldnt have been halted in some of my work due to the weather, this also would have improved my timekeeping.
