Advanced Portfolio Evaluation - Jess Garman - Question 2



















2. How effective is the combination of your main product and your ancillary tasks?




Above are copies of our final review and poster. Which have also been posted earlier on the blog.




In terms of the poster as a group we worked well. As one of our group members (Charlea) is a photography student with a very nice camera. We took hundreds of photos on the day and chose together the best ones to upload to the blog. We found the best photo by asking our peers and teachers to take a vote on the best ones. Charlea is particuarly good at photoshop, however as we wanted the work to be shared out fairly we each had a go at our own posters. We decided on Charleas poster and all made changes to it together to get it to the right standard. In terms of if we were going to release our film we feel our poster would work well, as earlier research into social realism posters shows similarities.




We did our review for Little White Lies magazine. We wrote it by reading lots of other reviews and copying not only the language style, but the unique design style of their articles. For example, each month they have a themed issue of a certain film. Which is refered to by the front cover and unique doodles refrencing that film throughout.

Enitially we were going to make our film the cover film. However being realistic as ours is in a short film format and not feature length we made up a film called 'SALT WATER', so our doodles could have a slight refrence to the seaside in our film.

Above is a copy of a previous cover of LWL magazine.
These are previous covers featured.


I feel that we worked well as a group as we utilised our own personal talents and shared out the workload equally. For example Charlea is very hands on with practical work, and is a photography student. We used her camera to take stills on the day and her eye for detail has helped us create a professional looking poster. Hollie is very good at research and planning, for example she drew up the storyboard and made the appropriate changes to it. We ensured we discussed and made every decision together, no matter how small.
