For their unit 21 evaluation, the student chose to do a photography exhibit. They originally wanted to include a variety of topics but decided to focus on one due to time constraints and lack of transportation options. They took around 50 photos and did minor editing on 2 images in Photoshop. The photos were inspired by the work of other artists but are the student's own ideas and choices. While the final exhibit did not entirely match the original plan due to location and topic limitations, the student is still pleased with the range of interesting images collected.

- 1. Unit 21 Evaluation For unit21 we were giventhe opportunitytochoose whatwe wantedtodo.We were giventhe optionsof photography, amusicvideo, ashort film, ora printadvert.InitiallyIwantedtomake a short filmbecause Ihadwatchedshort filmsfrompreviousyearsandtheywere interesting.After planninganddeciding,Ichose photographybecauseitwasa subject Ienjoyedthe mostof all, whereas filmingwas somethingIfeltIhadn’tenjoyed asmuch. OriginallyI wasgoingtotake photos witha varietyof topicsandput themintoan exhibit. Idecided not to dothisbecause I wasrunningout of time and if I wasto take photosof a varietyof topicsthen I wouldhave neededtogoto lotsof differentlocationsoutside of school hours,whichwasnoteasy due to not havingthe opportunityfortransport. Myfinal productdidnot turn outhow I wanteditto be howeverI’mnotdisappointedbythe final outcome.IusedPhotoshoprarelyinmyfinal piece. There are only2 imagesthatare editedandI feel happyaboutthisbecause originallyIdidn’twantto have an exhibitconsistingof editedphotos. For my pre-productionI researchedpopularartistsof topics:macro,landscape,architectural, wildlife,andforcedperspective.The imagesfromthe artistsinspiredme andmade me take images similartotheirs andgive me furtherideasformy final exhibit.DuringproductionI tookroughly50 photos,if notmore. I feel thattakingroughly50 photoshelpedme becauseIwasthenable to choose outof a great range and selectthe best. Ialsofeel Icouldhave the usedthe time I had more efficiently.Ifeel thatif Iwas able toorganise transportthenI couldhave had a greatercollectionof interestingimages.Duringthe process,whenIdidsome editingonPhotoshop,I learntaboutsome newtoolsI hadn’trealisedwhattheycoulddoandthat theycould adda lotmore interesttomy images.Forexample Ilearntaboutthe tool ‘Hue/Saturation’.Thisallowedme to adjustthe colours withinthe image.

HoweverIdon’tthinkmyfinal piece isbadbecause Iwill still able togathera range of interesting imagesthatcan potentiallybringattraction. I’mglad I didn’teditall of myimagesbecause itpreventedme fromhavingalarge range of poor and repetitiveediting.If Ihadeditedall myimagesthenIwouldhave runoutof techniquestouse when editingcausingapotential lossininterestfromthe audience. If I couldchange anythingitwouldbe the locationof myimages.UnfortunatelyI wasn’table tohave the opportunityof transportto getme to a locationIfelthappywithtouse in my exhibition. I alsowouldchange the topicof myphotos.AgainI waspreventedtodothisdue to not beingable to gettransport that couldgetme to locationsthatwouldallow me tohave a wide range of intriguing images.
