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?
Yeah I am pretty happy with my final result, I put a lot of
effort into it and am happy with my video and evaluation on my film.
2. Did the e-pub require more/less
time than you originally thought?
It required more time then I originally thought as I thought
that putting my video and words into the epub would only take one lesson but I
ended up running over time and had to stay back after school at Mr. Andrews
expense. But I ended up finishing it and am very happy that I was able to.
3. Would like to change any
aspects of your final project (layout, links, images, video and audio content, colour
scheme etc)?
If I could change anything in my finished project I would try to
put my voice overs over my movie instead of separately as it would make the
epub easier to look at and easier to read and watch. I would also make my epub
more colorful as it is a very boring color and isn’t very interesting to look
at. Also if it was more colorful then it would suit my video better as my
imovie is about shopping and shopping is colorful and fun.
4.
If you
could start the project again what would you do differently?
I would defiantly manage
my time more efficiently as I did take longer then I planned and didn’t quite
use my class time as effectively as I could have. I would have also made my
speech of a better quality as I kind of rushed writing it at the end and I
became very stressed and if I managed my time better then I would have been
able to finish my work to a better quality.
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 imagined my poster to
be the way it turned out but my epub didn’t turn out how I wanted, I anted it
to be more colorful then it is. I pictured my poster to be the exact was it is
with big bold purple writing and a colorful background picture. My epub should
have turned out more colorful thenit is but even so it still looks pretty good.
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;
My epub and poster do
clearly describe the style of animation that I chose. Both are very colorful
and very simple at the same time. My poster makes up for the colorful part of
my imovie such as the shopping bags and the clothes, which are all very
colorful and bright and the epub makes up for the very simple parts of the
imovie such as when she is in bed sleeping in the plain sheets.
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;
Some problems that I had
whilst the making of my epub and poster was that for the poster it took me forever
to find a colour and style in writing that stood out from the backround I tried
many colours and fonts but in the end I ended up using a bright purple and a
very bold font that stood out. The writing on the poster ended up being very
visible after many trial and errors. In my epub I had problems with time
management and I also had some problems with putting the sound into the movie
which was being placed into the epub.
4. Did you have all of the
necessary resources to complete your e-pub and poster or did you have to create
new materials?
In the making of my epub
I had to make the poster for my ibook which would be the title page in the
book. It took overall a whole lesson and a half to create but It was a big part
of my assignment and I am very happy with the end product. Also I had to create
my epub and the voice recordings of my directors commentary which also took one
and a half lessons. Putting the whole project together was a bit of a rush but
I managed to do it in one lesson.
5. List the steps you used to plan
and develop your project;
·
Firstly I figured out how many parts I was going to separate
them into
·
I wrote out my directors commentary on both of the parts of my
imovie
·
I created my epub
·
Recorded the directors commentary and put it onto my epub
·
Got my Imovie off the computer and placd it ont my epub
6. Clarify any time-management
issues you encountered during the creative process and describe the steps you took
to improve in this area;
I had encountered many
time management issues during the process of writing my speech as it took
longer then it should have and took up time that I was meant to be spending on
my epub, therefor my epub was not to the best of quality as I spen most of my
time on my poster and directors commentary.
7. 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);
I have not completed enough reflections
or proof of work on my blog this term. This has caused problems as I barley
posted this term and with out back ups on my movies, posters and epubs and no
hardly any blog posts I haven’t been able to do things to the best of my ability
