Task Four Evaluation Photography Unit 57
In this evaluation I’m going to talk about the images I
took, my top eight pictures talking about the style and techniques of them,
evaluating why I did these shots for the target audience and purpose for them.
I also am outlining work I did in pre production for my photos for instance
equipment hiring, mind maps, sketches, production logs, location Reece, risk
assessments, evaluations on my work, pupils and tutors evaluations.
Below is a screenshot outline of the pictures I have taking
for my test shots under the pictures I have wrote notes on the images I have
taken what Ive tried to capture and why I took the picture this will help me evaluate
my work in detail one by one.
Here is the risk assessment where I write down the potential
risk I might have at my location when taking my test shots it is key to check
with my location on test shots because if there is risks to taking the test
shots then I won’t be able to get the best pictures.
Here is notes on my test shots Location I’m shooting at
making sure things are in place so I can take my pictures for instance if I
need lighting, position of the sun, clearance of the location if need,
permission from the owners if it is private property, power available in the
location, if anyone needs to be informed, audio problems at the location for instance
loud traffic or crowds walking past. I have identified these issues when taking
my pictures. These documents helped for pre production.
Overall with my pictures I am happy with the images I have
taken because I feel firstly it promotes different things for instance with my
nature picture, cloudscape picture, seascape pictures I have promoted my
location which is Whitstable for people to come down and visit Whitstable for its
free views. It also could promote Whitstable or travel magazines or nature
magazines because I feel some of the pictures in particular the beach huts and
nature garden picture to be on wallpapers or front page of magazines. With the
image of the two people a tutor and student it promotes the college in the
music department and could go on the Canterbury College website under music to
showcase images of what the music department does it’s an interesting picture
because it’s from behind showcasing the learning and teaching including what they’re
looking at. Overall I’m happy with my pictures at just looking at them, and
then I like them because of the meaning behind the picture including the technique/
style I used and the purpose of the photos. I have personal favourites’ but I
will outline below individually on the pictures threw visual language.
Production schedule is another key source of information
that I need for my work the production schedule helps with time management to
know when you’re going to meet targets and get specific work done if it isn’t
done then it is setbacks. The production schedule also helps you check what you
have to do on the days as a calendar. Screenshot of my production schedule; 
Equipment booking form-
Equipment
booking form- 
As
you can see above there is an Equipment booking form where I will write the
equipment needed for photography. In the booking from it needs your lectures
permission and your signature to obey the law which is-
‘By
signing this you agree to return the equipment on the date stated to the LSO on
duty. Failure to return on the due date will result in a ban. You also agree to
make good any loss or damage to the equipment whilst it is signed out in your
name.’
Please note the equipment will only be issued with a
valid student card. By signing this form I have agreed the rules in place and
my mission are to use the equipment bring it back on time and look after it. This equipment from needs to be done for pre
production and so I can have the equipment to do my work for this I used the D-
SLR Canon Camera.
Mood boards-
Screenshot of pictures that
I can take in Whitstable areas these areas will help me decide where to take my
test shots.
Screenshot of photo genres I
can do with locations of places in Whitstable that match with the genre for
instance I could do landscape of Whitstable or sea escape of the sea or
cloudscape of the clouds I see in Whitstable. Mood boards helped with my pre
production and helped me create an idea for test shots to my final pieces of
work.
For my test shots I need a audience for my test shots to
make some sense and intention on why I’m taking the photos for instance my audience
is targeting are people who like the picture specific genre .Travel magazines
and holiday magazines, Photography magazines, Genre specific photography
magazines ,Students/ anyone interested in photography as a hobby, Student
Education purposes.
Photo research of other photographers that helped me in
my pre production was on the World Wide Web which helped me to see different
types of similar photos.
Landscape photography magazine helped me to see different
types of landscape photos that are seen in the magazine for audience who liked
landscape photography.
Maground is the image agency for high-quality photography of landscape, urban and
street photography I used this website as a source of information and help to
see different professional photographers taken to give me some ideas.
Alex Hare is
a Professional photographer one specialty being in landscape this website
helped me to see images he has taken around the area I will be taking my shots
Screenshot of some pictures
I took overall for test shots these photos had to rattle them down to top 8
threw selection of process.
Evaluation from others/ feedbacks- some feedback I have received
from other pupils is that they like certain images of my top eight for instance
out of the five pupils I asked they all liked the beach huts and the nature
gardens as the best two because they could see it promoting the location of
Whitstable, be a wallpaper on computer desktops also on magazine front covers
for travel/ nature magazines.
Realization, Skills and knowledge gained from taking these
pictures for instance I have learnt techniques and styles of taking photos
showcasing Lines such as diagonal and horizontal lines, rule of thirds, depth
of image, how to use a camera in different formats to get a better image in
terms of colour and exposure. With my images I have realised what my intentions
were on the photos and accomplished what I wanted in my photos as mentioned
above and in my detail below with my photos individually.
In terms of time management with my pictures I did well with
my time on the pictures as I had a set date to start and finish and had to work
towards that to get pre production done with work and then taking the pictures
I accomplished this and handed it in for assignment deadline.
Evaluation of pictures individually-
With this picture I like the deep Depth
of field with the beach huts because it’s in focus and that’s what I tried to
show so I could showcase Whitstable beach and promote it to my audience also
possible for wallpapers or travel magazines. Has a good aspect of the area and
I like the way it has the land, beach huts, sea, clouds and sky capturing all
parts of Whitstable composition and rule of thirds in one picture. I have the
write exposure of the picture it isn’t too dark or to bright. It also has a
sense of lines of all the parts of Whitstable with horizontal line of the land,
beach huts, sea, clouds and sky. This is my top two images because I feel I
created a professional piece which has a lot in the picture and promotes
Whitstable very well. Nd filter, balance
This picture is for the music
department so it can promote the music department commercially for music
department website on the Canterbury College website it shows college life in
the picture with realism of a tutor and student learning and teaching with
surrounds of the classroom with the equipment they use for work and under the
people activity. Tripod flexibility in settings lower iso high grain , health
and safety space awareness.
This picture promotes the sea of Whitstable
has a decisive moment of the cloud coming across also with light of the cloud
to the dark side of it to. The groans, has depth from each other and there is a
sense of lines of the sea, beach and groans. Perhaps the picture is a little
dark. Nd filter small, low shutter speed smooth create movement.
This picture is commercially good for
nature magazines also for wallpapers great promotion of Whitstable and has a good
sense of greenness darker and lighter types the exposure of this image is good
in my opinion it isn’t under exposed or over exposed. And with this picture it
is my top two out of all my images. Sun rise caused haze polar rising filter
glare reflection.
This picture has the Decisive moment of the sunset
which you don’t get all the time which the sun is clear yellow. Showcases good
example of views in Whitstable but I feel this picture isn’t the best one
because it shows houses which I didn’t want it to but to get the sunset I had
to. There is also lines of the satellite connections and A good sense of colour
with the sky with bright yellow and shaded blue I also feel the area is dark
and under exposed. Settings silhouette of building or Photoshop the dark part
of the image.
This picture has structure of groans all a
distance apart with depth. The beach front curves/ bends round with diagonal
and horizontal lines across the beach. This image also promotes Whitstable and
its views. The exposure in this picture is good it isn’t under exposed or over
exposed with the picture it tends to
capture Whitstable the only thing with the picture is I wish the beach hut was out of the shot. Horizon change
in Photoshop wonky.
This picture was to promote skyscape
at a different time of day which is its decisive moment it also has a decisive
moment with the Lines created from the sky air fumes from planes. I also like
the image because the contrast of night colours. Getting rid of the clouds just
having the air fumes and top half of image in the direction of the fumes.
This picture has good exposure to not under or
over exposed. This image is there to create meaning and also promote skyscape.
I have a Flirted sun which is strong white light within the dark clouds with
the light emulating someone is looking after someone who is looking for instance
a family member who has died this resembled to me of someone personally looking
above it also in my opinion resembles life, growth, fleeting, refreshment or a
indication of hope if you having a bad day. Sensor and eyes could damage taking
pictures. Halo of clouds 3d looking image of texture but other clouds look a
bit flat.
This image was intended to showcase
the great views of Whitstable with nature and skyscape both in the shot. I feel
this image commercially id good for travel and mature magazines of the view.
With the view I feel i could have perhaps gone forward a bit as the tree is in
the way of the sea including the house.
I feel with the image to a certain extent has a decisive moment as the
far distant land is seen from a long distance than not being able to see it
clearly. I also like the image because it has a clear sky and clouds which you
don’t get all the time. It also has lines of the curve of the land and path
way. Changes I could of done to the phot is the Nd filter could have used
because the grass has low exposure.
Overall- Therefore overall I feel happy with the images I
had taken and feel there is good purpose and meaning behind them. And because
of my pre production I did before taking the test shots it helped me to get the
best test shots in the end and gave me knowledge and skills of taking pictures
and understanding what to do in pre production with photography. There are a
few changes I would have made to the images as stated in my evaluation of
images but not every picture is perfect and not everyone will like them.
However with some of my images I feel I have created some brilliant ones.
