This document summarizes a photography student's project capturing landscape images in York, Filey, and Scarborough. The student selected 8 final images, discussing the editing done for each. Feedback was positive, praising two images in particular. While the goals were achieved, the student reflects that some images could have benefited from different editing choices or better shooting conditions like using a tripod. Overall the project helped expand the student's technical and editing photography skills.2. research

Here are a few suggestions for improving your research evaluation:
- Provide more specific details on how many people responded to your survey, interview, etc. This gives a better sense of the scope and validity of the research.
- Discuss limitations of each method beyond just time constraints. For example, with interviews, only getting one person's perspective is limiting.
- Consider comparing responses across methods to see if they validated each other or revealed new insights. This shows how triangulating methods strengthened the research.
- Reflect on how representative your sample was of the overall target audience. Were certain groups left out? This helps identify areas that need more research.
- Suggest additional research that could be done to address7. evaluation

This document contains a student's evaluation of their production process for an FMP assignment. It includes sections on research, planning, time management, technical qualities, aesthetic qualities, audience appeal, and peer feedback. For research, the student notes strengths and weaknesses of their approach. Planning gave them a rough idea of pictures but a weakness was ideas not working out. They felt time management and more time would have improved their work. Peer feedback suggested adding more pictures and improving colors, and the student agrees more pictures and emphasized subject colors would have strengthened their portfolio.Brad Matthews Advanced Portfolio - Evaluation Question 3

The document discusses feedback received from a focus group on various design mockups and drafts. For the contents page, the focus group preferred a single page spread and liked colorful images, which led the creator to modify their design. For the billboard, feedback noted floating computer/tablets looked unrealistic, so they were adjusted. Individual comments on the front cover criticized colors and layout elements, which the creator addressed in the final piece to make it more appealing and professional.Evaluatiiiion

I. The student decided to do a landscape photography exhibition after taking practice photos and finding that landscape images came out well. They were inspired by famous landscape photographer Charlie Waite and images found on his website.
II. The equipment used included a Canon 600D camera for its ability to focus backgrounds and close-ups, a sturdy tripod, and a large memory card to take many photos and select the best shots. Photos were taken in a forest as the sun was setting to include sunlight in backgrounds.
III. The student is pleased with their high quality images that required no editing and worked well together with good contrasts and colors captured on their first attempts. They learned to include more scenic backgrounds in photos toCritquing photography

The research methods used provided both strengths and weaknesses in understanding the target audience. Product research gave ideas to create distinctive photos while questionnaires efficiently gauged interests. However, questionnaires had limited responses. Interviews allowed for detailed answers but responses could go off-topic. The research provided a wide range of photo ideas including settings, subjects, and editing styles to appeal to a varied audience. The survey distributed to classmates was convenient but had a small sample size. Overall, the mixed methods approach helped gain audience insights.Unit 9, task 11 evaluation

The student decided to do a landscape photography exhibition after taking practice photos and finding that landscape images looked easy to capture and their practice shots came out well. They were inspired by the work of photographer Charlie Waite and found example images on his website. To create the project, they used a Canon 600D camera, Veblen tripod, and large memory card to take multiple shots and select the best ones. The photos required no editing as they were of good quality and size already. Through the project, the student learned new photography locations and techniques for framing shots. The strengths of their photos included good scenery, angles, and contrast, though some shots were too close up or lacked landscape scale. Overall, the student wasCommunication methods planning

The document summarizes the student's film project evaluation in several areas:
Research - The student conducted surveys and interviews to inform their horror/comedy concept. However, they could have researched layouts more for the DVD/poster.
Planning - Mind maps and researching other videos helped with planning, but the student changed their plan halfway and could have planned timing better.
Time Management - The student timed tasks weekly but should have written plans down and possibly spent more time on items.
Peer feedback noted the poster/DVD cover were too plain but camera skills were good. The student agrees more detail was needed and will change the visuals to better represent the plot.7. evaluation

The proposal is for a portfolio showing nature in different colors from the original to appeal to both younger and older audiences. The creator will take photos of nature, edit them in Photoshop to change colors and emphasize certain elements, and compile the images into a portfolio. The goal is to depict natural beauty in ways that different generations and groups can appreciate while avoiding potentially offensive content. Legal and ethical considerations include ensuring the photos do not upset or offend people of any religion, social group, or ethnicity through inappropriate subjects.7. evaluation (12)

Draft 1 of the advertisement received positive feedback for being simple yet effective. Respondents felt the large image size made it bold and eye-catching.
Draft 2 also received good reviews for the large image catching attention. However, some felt the masthead was lost in the middle of the page and would be better at the top.
Draft 3 was the least liked as everything seemed boring with no clear focal point. The information box obscured part of the image.
Draft 4's tree images at the top were liked but respondents felt the images and masthead should be even larger to draw more immediate interest.

It emphasizes that composition allows photographers to convey messages and emotions through carefully framing subjects, experimenting with unique angles and perspectives, balancing elements in the frame, giving subjects space, and using color to impact mood. The document encourages photographers to view composition not as rigid rules but as tools or "ingredients" that can be utilized to create visually compelling photographs.Jordan black photocritique

The document provides guidelines for critiquing photographs based on four standards: value, clarity, presentation, and composition. Value refers to the contrast between light and dark elements. Clarity means whether the subject is correctly focused. Presentation considers whether the photo is clean. Composition examines the point of interest, cropping/framing, lines, and balance. Sample critiques are then provided that apply these standards to analyze specific photos.Jordan black photocritique

- 2. Why Critique Photographs? We critique photography to help enhance our own photography. Picking out the flaws or the good in others work can inspire us to take our own good pictures. Critiquing, often called crit, helps us to become better photographers.
- 3. The Basics The first questions to ask when critiquing a photo are What is good about it; What isnt good, and how could it be better? When asking these questions, we need to keep in mind style and standards. Sometimes, a photograph might be good, but we wont like its style. Its standards are the technical parts of the photography, its value, composition, clarity and presentation.
- 4. Value Value of a photograph refers to light, a good photograph usually has a good contrast between its darks and lights A well-contrasted photo usually has a good range of blacks, greys, and whites.
- 5. Clarity The key to a well clarified picture is focus- a correctly focused photo is either sharply or softly focused A well focused photo often has a contrast between the subject and background. A well- clarified photo doesnt have a dark subject on a dark background, or a light subject on a light background.
- 6. Presentation A good photograph is presented with no dust marks or scratches. There arent air bubbles or fingerprints, and any impurities have been removed using photoshop.
- 7. Composition A well composed photo has a central point of interest. It is cropped well and has given the subject. While negative space can enhance a photograph, too much isnt good.
- 8. Adding It All Together Look for each of the key points in the previous slides- composition, presentation, clarity, value and the basics. A good photo should address all the points and be visually interesting. Make sure to use a critical eye when critiquing and dont hold back your opinion.
- 9. Critiquing A Photo Now, lets critique the photo to the right! The photo is okay- it could use some work! 1- Whats good about it? You can really see the texture of the bark. What isnt good? Its kind of plain without a focal point. What could be better? It could use a focal point to be more interesting. 2-Value- The photo could use some more contrast. There arent any blacks or whites, just all grey. 3-Clarity- The photograph is well focused. 4- Presentation- There arent any marks, scratches or impurities. 5-Composition- There's no negative space, but the photo needs a main subject to be more interesting.
- 10. Critiquing Another Photo 1- Whats good about it? The girl upside down is a good focal point. Whats not good? You cant see the girls facial features. 2- Value- Theres a good contrast This photo is very nicely done! between black, whites, and greys. 3-Clarity- The photo is extremely well focused. 4- Presentation- There are no scratches, dust marks, or other problems with the image. 5-Composition- There isnt negative space and the subject is clear.
- 11. Our Final Critique! 1- Whats good about it? It is extremely visually interesting. What could be better? It would look even more interesting if it had color. 2-Value- There is a good contrast between the greys and whites, but the photo doesnt have This is an excellent photo! much black. 3- Clarity- The image is very well focused. 4- Presentation- The photo doesnt appear to have any scratches or impurities.
