Evaluation of Project and Exam

I Have really enjoyed doing this project and being able to explore new and different photo graphical ideas to what i have done in the past. During my exam i made 3 main final pieces. The final piece which i had planned and research the most didn’t go exactly to plan. i doubled foam boarded and trimmed all of my five A3 dancing images however when i came to adding the string it didn’t go quite to plan. I think the main problem was that the string was too thick and looked to bulky against the images so made it look slightly messy when you look up close. Nonetheless i still really like the final piece that was produced because it was different to what i have ever created before and the string did keep clear links between the title of the project ‘Structure’.i decided to leave it as just the one final piece that included string because it was over complicating it to have more because they didn’t fit together. Therefore i decided to leave to images as raw because they were good natural images and i didn’t want to take away from the technique that had been used to capture the images so i got three of my favourite of the A3 images mounted them onto foam board and the grouped them together on a big black board which emphasized the pure black tones in the image as well as bringing the photographs together too look like a group of images. As can be seen above i did window frames for my other final pieces which i think keeps the presentation of the images simple and clean so that it highlights the focal points in the images. I think that my final pieces are simplistic but purposely because it was the best way to show the images and get them to stand out. I have really enjoyed doing this project and it has really helped me develop my camera skills with understanding how to further use the shutter speed, ISO and aperture settings. I also loved doing the structure title because i could look at the different forms of structure analyses and comparing them and going into sections of photography that really interested me and inspired me. My favourite part of this exam has been going down to the beach and capturing images of my friend dancing and doing dancing jumps in the sea because i found it the most challenging shoot technically because i had to get the settings right, but when i did the outcome were photos that i was really proud of. I especially enjoyed this shoot because i was surrounded by our natural beautiful environment and really enjoying taking the images.  Overall i think that it has been a really successful project where i have created work that is a true representation of my photography and what i can do.
