Year 9 Creative Media Animation
– Term 04 Mr Andrews
Task 4: e-pub, commentary and poster
self-reflection and evaluation:
Part
One: Discuss your feelings about the e-pub, poster and commentary task:
1. Are you satisfied with the
final result? Yes I am I liked how my I books turned out.
2. Did the e-pub require more/less
time than you originally thought? No I thought it was a good amount of time
that we had to do it and I got it done in plenty of time.
3. Would like to change any
aspects of your final project (layout, links, images, video and audio content, colour
scheme etc)? The only thing that I can think of that I would like to change is
my poster I think I could have made that a lot better to be honest.
4.
If you
could start the project again what would you do differently? The poster, and I
would probably right more than I did on the last 2-3 scenes.
Part Two: Respond to each of the
following dot points (using complete sentences or paragraphs). You should
include as much detail as possible in your responses.
1. Discuss whether your e-pub and
poster have turned out the way you pictured them? I am happy with how they
turned out and I was aiming for it to turn out like this, though I would have
like to have done a bit more with my poster.
2. Explain whether your e-pub and
poster clearly depicts the style of your animation and describe some specific design
principles that you have used to achieve this;
I think
that my epub explains the meaning of our film very well and what we were
thinking when we were making it, and when you look at the poster and read it I
think you get the general outline of what the movie will include and be about.
3. Describe any problems or technical
difficulties you encountered while creating your director commentaries in GarageBand.
These may include; sound or video issues, corrupt or missing files, difficulty
using the iBooks Author or GarageBand software, problems importing/exporting
files, etc;
At the
start I had problems as I didn’t have a large portion of the scenes that I needed
so I had to use my groups USB’S to get the things I needed off of them and then
had to change them to quick times which used up a fair amount of practical
time.
4. Did you have all of the
necessary resources to complete your e-pub and poster or did you have to create
new materials?
No I had
all the sources that were needed to create it, the one thing that I didn’t have
was Ibooks on my lap top so that I could work on it in prep time and not just
in class so I had to load that up onto my lap top which did not take very much
time.
5. List the steps you used to plan
and develop your project;
Well to
make things easier for me I didn’t start writing until I had all the scenes
uploaded and ready to go so that when I started writing I could just
concentrate on the writing and not having to upload another video each time I had
finished writing about a scene.
6. Did you use content-lists, flowcharts
or other documents during the planning process;
No I did
not use any of these things.
7. Clarify any time-management
issues you encountered during the creative process and describe the steps you took
to improve in this area;
I think
that next time I would work on it more at the start so that towards the hand in
date I don’t have lots of things that I still need to do, but honestly I think I
did pretty good with time as I had everything done on the hand in day and I wasn’t
too stressed about getting everything done.
8. Discuss whether you undertook
adequate and detailed reflection throughout your project. i.e. Have you provided
enough evidence to support your work? (Look back at your blogs and think about
whether it looks like a whole terms worth of work);
To be
honest I don’t think I have used my blog as much as I should have this term and
I didn’t write anything on my blog during doing this assignment which is
something I would change if I were to do this assignment again.
