Task 1: 4 Formal Elements Study (Unit 1: 1.1 and 1.2)

•Know: I would say that the activity where we had to find the multiple images for lines and such helped develop my skills because I know know a lot more about the techniques than I originally did. I now know about the various techniques when it comes to line, shape, texture and colour.

•Do: I wouldn't really say that I have used new skills as all I really did was find some images and say why I liked them and this is also the same way I completed the task but however I did seriously struggle adding the images at first as I really wasn't familiar with padled as I had never used it before. I am just proud that I have managed to complete the work to the best of my ability.

•Show:  I placed all my images onto my padlet and then uploaded that onto showbie.

•Improve: I believe that I could of perhaps chosen more of a variety of pictures as most of mine are all similar in some way and I suppose they could all have been different. I could have also added a bit more of reasoning as to why I found certain images better than others rather than just a couple of lines. I could have added a bit of info on the artists also rather than just the image.

Task 2: Replicate Formal Elements (Unit 1: 1.1 and 1.2)

•Know; I understand now what they are and how they are all incorporated into photography and also that they really are everywhere.

•Do; I just used my phone to go out in class and at my lunch break to go out and take my pictures on the formal elements to try and copy my chosen images that I had googled. The locations I went to was just pretty much everywhere around the college and during my lunch break I just went around near the playhouse and down by the water gardens down by the water area however I did not use any props.

•Improve ; I got my images really close to all of my professional artists work except for my colour one as I dont really think I can copy that until we start moving onto Photoshop next week. I believe that I manged to take all of my images even with a bit of a struggle as I found it hard to find some images but however most of them where pretty easy to find and take. But I could take them before hand in future instead of waiting until class starts and I could also be a bit more organised instead of having my images all over the place.

Task 3: Photography Workshops ( Unit 2: 1.1 and 1.2)

•Know: I would say that the 30 Photoshop tools has really helped me with my knowledge on Photoshop because I now know about new tools and just what it is they do and I would say that the video tutorial task really helped me understand how to record on the cameras. Also I successfully annotated my Photoshop edits of the 3 tools we used called Saturation, Black and White and selection. I know about new Photoshop tools but I already knew a lot of them because I have been using Photoshop for a long time and also how to record on the cameras as i didn't even know that you could record on them.

•Do:  I have used new editing skills that I didn't know before when it comes to editing photos on Photoshop the only barrier was that when I was doing the selection Photoshop tool it took me forever to figure out how to use it but luckily I did it in the end. I am proud of how well my work in general has come out but mainly my Photoshop edits and my videos of the Photoshop tutorial and also how I went out my way to help Mark finish his video tutorials and I also still managed got every piece of work done.

•Show:  I presented my work on Padlet.

•Improve:  I need to finish the work on the day its given because my Photoshop images where a day behind however I still got it done and also me and Daniel went a bit over on our video has they was supposed to be in between 1 to 3 minutes long but how last one was 6 minutes long. I plan to use all my new knowledge on Photoshop in my future work with the app.

Task 4: Plan Shoot (Unit 1: 1.2)

•Know: Doing all the mind maps have helped me understand and know what it is I will be doing next week for my final photo shoot. I now know what a production schedule is and just how helpful it is for my final shoot as well as the template for my ideas for the shoot next week.

•Do:  As I said in the last part I think that the whole schedule sheet given me new preparation skills to really help me next week. My only barrier was I was a bit behind but I however managed to get it done at home during my free time. I am proud that I have yet again managed to get everything done on time but as I said only because I did some work at home.

•Improve: I need to get my work done on the day its given out instead of doing it at home. And dont rush on my work like I was Wednesday and just take my time. I wouldn't really say that any skills will help but just the ideas would really help me with the final shoot next week While I take pictures at the weekend.

Task 5: Final Shoot & Presentation (Unit 2: 1.2)

•Know: Taking all the images and making the contact sheet really helped me with learning new techniques. I now know how make a contact sheet on Photoshop.

•Do: The new skills I used was new photo techniques such as saturation. I am proud of how well my images have come out as they are probably my best yet.

•Show:I presented all my work onto 4 contact sheets

•Improve: Some images are a bit blurry and dark but that can be fixed easily. I will defiantly use a contact sheet again as its a great way of organising images.

Task 6: Evaluation and Reflection (Unit 1 & 2: 1.3 & 1.3)

•Know: The presentation has definitely helped me with my communication skills.

•Do: I had to use a light for one of my videos that I had never used before so I guess that a new skill. I just made myself a PowerPoint to use in the presentation and I then simply just went up and did it and it was really easy and simple. I only struggled getting my presentation to the 2 minutes mark but I managed to do it in the end.

•Show:  All my work was presented on 4 contact sheets.  The class response was pretty good and also the tutors said it was pretty good. I 100% enjoyed going out and taking my images the most simply because that was just the most fun task.

Improve: I have completed all the work to the best of my ability. I currently have only gotten feedback back on task 1 and 2 and it was really positive except that 2 needed to be resubmitted which I did with zero difficulties.  I can defiantly use my new photography skills in future projects that will of course require theses skills.
