Evaluation

Well done, you have all completed your short films. Load them onto Youtube and embed the url into your blog. You then need to evaluate your project to finish off your blog. Consider the following questions:

• Outline what you set out to do
• Why did you decide to do this and what influences did you have?
• Explain how this links to your individual focus
• What techniques did you use?
• What problems did you encounter and how did you overcome them?
• What have you learned and how could you improve on your project?
  

Final deadline - AS Photography

Your blog should now be finished and show development work using digital imaging techniques; using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere. The blog should show technical development as well as evaluation and reflection on final pieces using photomontage and stop motion animation techniques.

Y12 - work for Thursday snow day

What a pain- closed again!

Please use this as an opportunity to;

1.Take some amazing photographs - changing landscape

2. Work on improving the design of your blog

3. Edit and amend existing posts, add more research, improve on montage/joiner

4. Could be an opportunitiy for doing snow related stop motion sequence...?

Remember - you only have two weeks to deadline.

Y12 Holiday Work

For this coursework unit, you are expected to produce a series of developed work in response to 'Changing Landscapes'. Your digital media elements are as follows:

montage
Hockney inspired 'joiner'
Stop motion animation using your own photographs

All three pieces need to be of a very high standard, clearly informed by research into other artists/photographers. Your blog should reflect both the research carried out and the record of your technical development. Some of you have already done this to a high standard. Others need to go back and redo either montage or 'joiner'. ALL of you need to show clear links between work and the brief, evaluating, reflecting, drawing links between photographer's/animator's work and your own.

This should be done by our first lesson back Tuesday 5th Jan.

Y12 #2 Joiner preparation

You need to finish your photomontage this week, post it up on your blog with a reflection and links to research. You should be considering this work as a finished piece as part of a series of work to be included with the stop motion animation. (Sam's finished work above- fantastic)

For next Wednesday, you should come to the lesson with photographs taken to contstruct a joiner. This could be of a landscape, or an object. You could take the idea further and use your images to construct something completely different... think about your coursework brief of 'changing landscapes' and how your research informs the development of your work.

Y12 #1 photomontage

This week, your homework is to:

1. Continue your research into photomontage in photography, critically reflecting on technique and meaning

2. Take a series of photographs in order to create a digital photomontage as a personal response to life in 21st century. You can also use magazine cutouts

Jean-Luc Brouard & Ben Gold

Amazing photographs of trees. How do you think they achieved this look? Traditional methods / lighting, digital manipulation or both?

I saw these at an exhibition in Brighton last week.

Click here to see examples from both photographers' work. This would be particularly relevant to Y12 doing landscape photography.
