Critically Comparing my Skills



Critically Comparing my Skills, Processes and Methods



1st. Formulate your question:
Look below at what you  are you being asked to evaluate.
Unit 1
U1.2.1 Critically compare a range of communication methods used to convey meaning in creative media production.
Note Critically is similar to compare but concentrate on the things that are different with two or more methods used or what sets them apart. Point out any differences which are particularly significant.

In your own words say what U1.2.1 is asking you to do.
Answer: Critically compare a range of media.


2nd. Gather your information:
What have you been doing that you can evaluate

On your blog you now have two weeks detailing classes in The Carousel and professional ways to use tools, skills, processes.  If you have details of these you have done this point just add the links below.

3rd. Apply the information
How well have you done in the sessions?
Ask yourself:

  • Which skills, Processes and Methods or tools you enjoyed the most?
Answer: I enjoyed colouring, sewing and using sewing machines the most. I would mix some of the colours to create a sort of shade effect.

  • Which of the things you have been shown could you demonstrate to another person?
Answer: Some of the more basic skills that I learnt were ironing the fabric and sewing, meaning that these skills are likely the ones that I could demonstrate in front of another person. I could also demonstrate the use of mixing warm and cool colours together.

  • Which of the things you have been shown do you need more practice with?
Answer: I think that using the embroidory rings and the sewing machines were most tricky skills to understand, meaning that with a few more tries, I would be able to understand it better.

 I found that mono printing was by far the hardest process, as I had never done anything like that before, especially when it came to clearing up the ink afterwards.


4th. Consider the implications

If you were asked by a professional to use some of the tools, skills, processes how well would you do?
Answer: Overall, I would understand the overall concept of the processes, but as mentioned above, the embroidory rings, sewing machines and mono printing would be my weakest points.


5. Explore other points of view

Have you considered feedback from teachers and Peers as to how well you did in the session, if so what feedback have you had?
Answer: The overall feedback that I recieved was very positive. This was especially the case with our art tutor, who said that my drawing skills were very effective. Our fashion tutor commented on my retro design by saying that she liked it and it's use of geometric patterns.

What Feedback have you had so far that tells you you are doing okay in the session?
Answer: I had been told that I was making very good progress with my artwork.

The Filming Process

Week 1 We finalised our pre-production paperwork before we got started on our filming. For those who had already completed their assigned paperwork, it was a case of sorting out the production's props. On the Wednesday and Thursday of that week, we managed to film most of, if not pretty much all of the footage for my segment and some of Kian's as well. Week 2 During this week, the filming experienced some heavy setbacks due to the extreme weather, which consisted of freezing temperatures and extensive snowfall. We were only able to come in on Monday and run through the first few lines of the first scene. On Tuesday, not everyone managed to come in, and on Wednesday and Thursday, the college was closed full stop, so that got rid of any chances of filming. Week 3 This week consisted mostly of filming Cameron's scenes and the scenes using the mini-figures. Most of the live action was filmed on Monday, with the scenes using the mini-figures being filmed from Tues

1. Document what you did in the session on Tuesday and Wednesday (Pictures, Diary entries, Printouts ETC) 2. List under the following   Processes carried out in the sessions: Processes a) To begin the sessions, We were assigned in to four different groups so that we could come up with a 1 minute advert for the BIC four colour pen. b) My groups idea was very different to that of the other groups. This was because our had a 'hippies on the moon' theme to it which I thought was a bit silly at first, but was suprised at how it worked later on. c) All four groups had to listen to the ideas developed by others so that we could vote on which one the advert would be based on. d) To my surprise, my group's idea actually ended up winning the vote, and it took a lot of thought into how to make it into a production. e) A makeshift spacecraft was set up for the 'landing on the moon' scene. It was primarily made up of a few chairs and a table
