Shape Task

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?The thing i liked most about my image and the reason that i picked it was because the shape was a simple outline,and was straight forward in the sense of following and getting the correct shapes to place over, this helped me develop my skills as i was slowly moving on to more complex shapes and not rushing into it. The image only had a few main shapes which i had to do however they turned out really well.

What would you improve if you did it again?if i was to improve my image, the thing i would work on the most is getting the shapes i did over, more accurate and more shaped rather than just sticking to the simple circles, and ovals. I used the warping tool often with the shapes, however they still were'nt as accurate as the orginal image and therefore didn't look as detailed when i'd finished.

Rotoscope

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?My rotoscope i found turned out very well. The thing i liked most about my image was that there were more than just the simple standard features to the face, and it had more detail which allowed me to work on my skills and detail within the image.

What would you improve if you did it again?I would improve this image by making sure all my rotoscoping was accurate and was up to the best standard, rather than concerntrating on getting most of it done and then not concertrating on the quality of the final piece. I would also like to chose a different image which had more than just the face in,as i found the face a simple subject and was little for me to base on.

Film Quotes

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?One of the main things i liked most about my film quote was beign able to interprate the quote and find my own images, and text to include in my image. I thought this helped my understanding of the quote more, and there allowed me to use more of the ranges of tools depending on what image i chose to do. I chose a picture of 2 boys in a field and then added text to it afterwards. I chose this image inparticular so that i could have more things going on in the image rather than just one subject. I found having more than 1 character gave more of a basing and a storyline.

What would you improve if you did it again?The thing i would improve is using more of the techniques ans styles we'd been showed in previous lessons and including them in my work pieces. I would definietly deal with my timing better so that i had more time to give more detail to the image.

Text Based

Text Based

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?i liked trying out the different types of text and different types of styles, as i will now be able to include them in my future work to give it more detail. I liked to keep things simple with my texts and to not go to overboard with the shaping and colour so i chose a simple style with just a simple image in the background.

What would you improve if you did it again?I would do more example of the texts, and for my final example i would maybe give the text a little more detail and style to it.

Comic Book

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?The thing i liked most about this image turnout was the fact that i kept it simple, and didn't overfill it with effect, and so it looked more real, and nicer as if i was to put more effects on it and colour it may look overpowered.

What would you improve if you did it again?The only thing i would improve with my image is the threshold. This didnt go exactly how i planned it to, and turned most of the image black which then caused problems when i came to add colour as it didn't look as good and looked quite packed as most of it was either black or in colour.

Photo Story

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I liked how my image didn't have to much on the background ans you could clearly see the images, and the order in which they were taken in which explained the storyline quite clearly. My images included ones faken from both inside and outside which gave it more of variation within the storyline.

What would you improve if you did it again?I would improve my image by making the background relate more to the storyline without necessarily changing the colour of the background colour.

Initial Ideas

To be added

ProposalDimensionsMy book will be 9 slides, and will be landscape.

Story Overview1:prince and his mother are talking about how he wants to find and marry a princess.2: a princess knocks at the door and asks if she can go inside as theres a massive storm3:prince lets her In and instantly takes a liking to her. His mither however is not very happy and not keen on how well the prince and princess gets along so tries all she can to split them up4:she places a little pea underneath 20 mattresses to try and catch the princess out as if she was a real princess she would be able to feel the pea.5: The princess feels the pea under the mattresses which proves she’s a real princess. 6:Mother is still not happy and is still hooked on the fact that she is not a real princess, another girl comes into the story and then the mother tries to make her son like her though she’s not his type and something doesn’t seem right about the whole situation7:prince and the princess get married and then the mother leaves the story as she’s not giving them her blessing.

Export Format

JPEG

Advantages: An advantage of exporting it in a JPEG is that is a small file size and therefore it will not take as much storage room. Another advantage is that it’s a full colour transition and the quality is very high with little compression.

Disadvantages: A disadvantage of this format is it doesn’t not support transparency and It also less suitable for working with text or monochrome

Deadline15/6/16

Audience

My childrens book will be aimed at those 3-8. This is due to the storyline as its really complex and will be to young for those who are older. At the same time I have the interest of the older ones for parents aswell as they’re the ones who will be reading it. It is based in Edinburgh castle however it will not only be available within Scotland, so the audience within location will be world wide. It can apeal to both male and female however it is mostly based upon a prince and princess so mostly will be viewed by younger girls.

Production Methods

The mehods I will use to produce my pges in my book are rotoscoping, text styles, and shapes. This is because they are easy to get the correct shape, and look of characters for a childrens book. For example shapes are a good way to get the look as they’re just simple and they don’t have to much detail in them so its easier for a child to understand.

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?

I like the story that you have chosen, I gives a good message to the reader that you should not always listen to other people and that you are the only one that knows truly how you feel.You explained why you sill be using shapes to create your images as it gives a simple yet affective outcome.

You could add more detail to your production method, such as what text you are planning to use (serif/san serif) and why.

What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been further developed?

I like that you have included different interoperations of princesses to help you when it comes to creating your own. I also like that you have included many location pictures onto your mood board.

To help improve you could include some cartoon images of castles for inspiration.Also add a mind map when finished.

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?

One strength that I can see clearly is that she has planned out each slide she will be creating well and also in detail so that she can plan ahead and make time for herself by creating 9 slides because tis means she can make each slide very good quality and wont have to rush her work. This means she wont be consumed by time. Also another strength is that all of her work is very detailed and clearly well understood by herself and the viewer. She also shows good knowledge of understanding about the JPEG part with the disadvantage and advantages well explained.

The areas of the proposal that could have further work on them is just spelling, which can easily be corrected by spell check.

May need to add a couple of more numbers to the storyline to make it 9 not 7 so that then she will be finally planned ahead and finished with her ideas and can move on.

One more area where it could use further work is adding in her initial ideas and that I s all from Lucy Gould. Xox

What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been further developed?

The mood board is very clear and links well to your ides and is also very colourful so will appeal well to children.

Maybe adding a few more images to make the page more full but there are no other father development needed.

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?

The strengths of the proposal are you have planned out each page/slide of the book and have defined what is going to happen in that page. You have also clearly shown why you have picked the production method and how it will affect your target audience., you have defined your audience and the geo/demographic of the audience.

You could add a little more detail into the production method like the text you might use in the book.

What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been further developed?

The strength of the idea generation is it shows the type of character you would use and the look of the book as well as the setting of the story.

You could add a mind map to idea generation and add a few more images to show how the other characters might look, like the mother in the story, to show the different characters styles in the story.

Feedback SummarySum up your feedback.A common piece of feedback that has occurred from all 3, are that ive planned out my slides well and know what I will be doing with my story when it comes to characters,storlyine and locations etc.. It is overall positive feedback however states I need to add my idea generation in.

Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?I agree with having to add more detail into my production method and to state how which style of texts ill be using and why. This will help me develop my story and get a better insight of what it’ll look like t the end.
