EVALUATION

(Of the overall unit and previous experiences I have encountered in the past few months)
Throughout this unit I have learnt a numerous of different things that I feel will help aid and direct me now into the right route I need to go down. Over the past few months I’ve seen an increase in not just my work, but my confidence as well. Before starting this unit I found I was quite shy and found I didn’t speak up much but now I feel relatively more confident and found that through the work experience and contacting and speaking to individuals who are already in the industry it gave me some experience and knowledge which help boosted my confidence.
Through all the feedback and tutorials I have found that I’ve set my self the path of still heading down the film industry but having a few backup plans. These backup plans I found I’ve ended up looking into is taking the route or either a wedding photographer or an events photographer. The reasoning for being advised this was during the course of the unit I photographed for the REMLA Exhibition (which was held by a few of our students) and was complemented greatly on my images and advised to take this as an option as I was good at it. With been giving that confidence boost, I didn’t see a reason as to why I shouldn’t take up that option too. With finding so far the film industry hard to get into, I will start pushing my foot and continue to do so into the other opportunities and make use of my strengths once leaving university. Not only that but during the exhibition work, I managed to take a leading role within my group. I found that everyone came to me for questions and I was able to feedback to them on what to do next. I also kept my group up to date with new directions etc. Beforehand I would have never imagined myself taking a leading role, so was very happy that I took the leap in doing so as I feel it’s put me in a good steed for the future.
I’m really pleased with my overall portfolio. I feel I’ve achieved exactly what I wanted. Within my work I’ve expressed clearly my passion for working on film sets and not only that my skills in which I can offer via post production. I appreciate the flow of my portfolio and feel it is fluent throughout and in hope of doing this , I hope the potential clients who look at it in the future will see this too.
Who’s my audience now and later?
I’ve found social media has been a great influence within my work and it’s also guided me along with directing me at who my target audience is. With turning my account into a business account, I’ve found it’s giving me direct information which has helped aid me in knowing who my work is being seen by. And as a result I’ve found that a lot of my audience age range between 18-24 which is great because that’s the age range I was looking at to aim my work towards. So it matched up rather well. Even though I’ve stated that was my main target audience , I still advise and encourage people of all ages to look at my work as anyone is able to connect with it as I’ve made sure within my work I’ve created it so that all audiences have a clear understanding and connection with it.
Before starting this unit I wasn’t quite sure in weather I was going down the right route, but now I am feeling a lot more confident in where I need to head. I will continue to further my research once leaving university and getting in contact with as many film companies/productions, events and wedding photography opportunism as much as possible and continue to build up a portfolio which represents my style of work clearly. And in the hope of doing all of this, I hope to reach my end goals and be in the line of work I’ve worked towards since my interest in photography begun.

How has my final Major project influenced what I want to do?

During my final year of university, I decided to continue my work from a previous project in second year. During second year I took on the idea of focusing on fantasy stories and placing them in the modern day to day lifestyles we live in now. With finding that this project (story telling unit) was not only a lot of fun, but I saw my strengths flow through and felt I should continue this style of work within my third year. Not just that, but with having the ambition to work towards the film industry, this would be a great way to create an interesting portfolio catered for that industry.

Therefore I took on the idea of the fantasy world, but instead of focusing on the perfections of life, I wanted to incorporate within my images a sense of destruction and imperfections. With wanting to find a subject that is arising and current in today’s society, I looked into the idea of mental health. With this idea, it was also very important for me to concentrate on the topic of mental health being it is such a personal topic to me. I wanted to be able to express my feelings and in a way for it to help me understand the subject more by creating interesting and unique work from it.

Throughout the year I have shot over a numerous amount of locations, with a variety of different models. I also took on advanced Photoshop. Previously prior to this unit, I rarely liked to Photoshop my images and preferred to keep them simplistic, but being that I wanted to create something out of this world, I needed to teach myself how to create the best images via post production.

Throughout this project, I have learnt an awful lot about where I want to head and it’s taught me both what my strengths and weakness are. A weakness being post production, but this is something I will be able to work on in the near future. A strength is my thought process and expressing exactly what I wanted to in my imagery.

With saying I wanted to work in the film industry, I am still willing to aim for this industry, but may also look and guide my work into working around issues that are of or similar to mental health. Within my work, I want it to impact as many people as possible and help for sufferers and non-sufferers to express how they feel through a photograph and I feel the creative expression is a great way to heal individuals and I’ve found its helped myself throughout this past year of struggle to get through and realise that there is always a way out or form of escapism through art. But not just art, there’s other ways such as music and so on.
I am pleased we were given the opportunity to create any type of work we wanted and throughout I’ve constantly been inspired and feel I now have a great portfolio to help lead me in the right direction for the industry path I would like to take.

Overall Evaluation of my contribution to the exhibition show

Link to Document: Evaluation of my contribution throughout the Exhibition Show

My contribution will continue throughout this unit up until after we finish this unit and have our final show which is held in London between the 25th June – 1st July.
Throughout the running up to the show, I feel I have contributed a fair amount. Not only by communicating a lot through the exhibition Facebook page, but within my group too. I’ve found that within my group I have taken a leading role in where I have helped guided my group , ran the meetings and put in suggestions and keeping everyone notified and on track in what they need to do.

I have evidenced all the examples of when I participated both on the whole groups Facebook page and individually on our groups chat. (My group I was allocated in was the Branding Group)

A collection of my posts on the Group Facebook Page:
Evidenced below is my contribution to the Facebook page in where all students in our year can communicate and other groups can update one another on what they have done. It also allowed us to keep up to date on where we are currently at.
Posts in order of the dates I posted them:

 

A collection of my posts in our personal Group Chat (Branding):
Evidenced below is my contribution to my individual group chat I was selected to be in. This allowed us to each keep in contact and keep one another updated with what we had planned and could organise group meetings and so on. I took a leading role throughout this group chat and made sure I was the strength of the team to keep us going and motivated throughout the unit.

 

After this unit I will continue to participate in my group and continue out the work I have set myself to do to help assist in making a great exhibition.

During this unit, I also made sure I communicated regularly with other students from the different groups and offered them my help and assistance if they needed it. I found with communicating with other groups, it really helped to keep the flow of the work coming.

Assisting with fundraising

With the fundraising/market day event coming up in April, to participate, I will be making a number of cakes to help sell and make some money which can go towards are show. I will also be participating by bringing some clothes in to sell for the event too.

Overall I feel I have communicated well both individual and amongst other members from both my own group and the other groups. By doing this I got directly in contact with them and kept them updated on group meetings if other members weren’t in. I found with being a very organised person, I was able to assist a lot of the other students and found that within my group I took the lead and a lot of the students came to me for guidance. Throughout the unit, I have been a good team sport. I did well with keeping the group together and helping each member to get on and advise them on their group roles.
(You can see some of this evidenced in the above)

With carrying out my job roles I was chosen to do, I found I handled the jobs very professionally. During my group, I was given the task with another student to design the banners and sweet bags for the opening nights. The sweet bags were in fact an idea we came up between the two of us and thought this was ideal for our exhibition. It was quite fitting considering the names of the shows.

To conclude , I feel I’ve worked extremely hard and communicated well throughout this unit by attending meetings and keeping up to date via pages , chats etc. I feel I’ve learnt a lot and with taking a lead role within my own group (the branding group) I feel it’s put me in good stead for the future and has taught me how to work as part of a team and I can take this on when I continue to further my career within photography.

My Contribution – Banners and Sweet Bags

Link to Document:

My contribution to the Final Exhibition Show

During the exposure unit, I was placed within the branding group. Within this group I took the roles of being the leader/organiser. And I set myself, along with another member from the group the task of creating the banner designs (once the logo) had been designed, enquire about the prices and also create the sweet bags for the opening evenings.

Evidence of the work/process:

Sweet Packaging
List of what we need:
.Stickers – Portraying the logos on.
. Clear plastic bags
. Pink and Yellow Ribbon
. Pink and white stripped bags
. Yellow and white stripped bags
When looking into the sweet bag designs, we had two options via both group designs. One was to have both the yellow and pink stripped bags, which are then closed up by the logo stickers. Deepening on the colours, we may swap and have the yellow stickers on the pink bag and vice versa. These are elements we have to play around with and once we have made a rough design of each idea, we shall create a poll on the Facebook page to see what designs got the most votes. Once we have the top votes, we can then order the supplies prior to the opening evenings. The idea with the clear plastic bags was to tie each bag up according to the colour of ribbon of the show it’s at, yellow for photography and pink for fashion and on the bags we will place the logo stickers neatly on top. We wanted to keep the designs as simplistic as possible. (See all the design options further below)
Ordering the products ourselves:
(Prior to the day of creating the stickers, we decided to order some rough copies of the sticker designs before finalising everything. We thought best with the design created to remove the white outer line as this worked better with the logo, so when it comes to ordering the final stickers we have removed the outer line on the logo. )

Ordering/designing the stickers (Rough sketch, not the final stickers):

Researching into the best sites/prices to create our own stickers:

When researching, I whittled it down to two companies:
1. Moo
2. Vista print.
Analysing and researching each website, I found Moo had more to offer and I was able to select more than one design for a cheaper rate, whereas vista print only allowed us access to one design at a time.

After finding that the logo didn’t quite fit the shape of the stickers, we thought it best by removing the White outer line from the original logo. We found this suited the image much better for the stickers, so when it comes to the final ones, we won’t have to worry about this as the logo has already been altered for this purpose. We did look into have squared shaped stickers, but for what we wanted and being that the circle can represent a lens, we thought the circle design worked best.
As you can see in the evidence above, with the style of the stickers, it will look relatively better without having the outer line as it didn’t all quite fit. With these being test stickers, it didn’t matter as such at this point.
Editing the white outline/border out of the logo:
We removed the border by deselecting the layer and removing it, and then re saving the image as a new one. (Via Photoshop)

Sweet Bag Design options:
When designing the sweet bags, we had a few options of designs. Therefore we made a mock-up of 3 of the design ideas. We then took some images of each design and placed up a poll on Facebook so we was able to make the final decision on what sweet bags designs we would go for the opening night so we were prepped and ready with the designs.
Evidence of the designs and the Poll results. By asking and basing the final design on the results, we thought this was a fair way of everyone have an input on the designs.

 

Final Design choices. We had the clear bags with ribbon, or the stripped bags with matching coloured stickers, or the colour bags with the opposite colour sticker.

 

Facebook poll/result:

As you can see by the final results, the most popular vote was option 3 – Paper bags with different coloured stickers. Therefore with the majority of people voting for this, this will be the design for the sweet bags we will carry out for the private view/opening evening.

With the chosen sweets, we will look into a variety of popular sweets and ones that we know will go down a treat.

We will later look into refunds via the fundraising group.
During this unit , myself and the other student member (Victoria Creswell) who worked on the same job roles of me , also got in contact with the fundraising group and offered our assistance if they need help with fundraising posters. At this current point they already had someone doing this, but we thought it a great idea to offer help and interact with some of the other groups.

Banner Designs

With designing the banners we wanted to keep it very simplistic and near enough to the same design of the logo, just with a few added details on top to advertise the shows.
Below is the process and the final designs we have at this point. There is still adjustments that need to be made at this point with waiting on dates and times. As well as that, the fashion group had yet to decide on a place, so until we know location wise, we can’t fill these details in. But to make accessible, we saved the designs as Photoshop files so we are able to easily adjust and change them as and when we like before doing the final prints.
We have to look into creating a total of 3 banner designs.
1. The photography show (Separate)
2. The fashion Photography show (Separate)
3. The joint show held at the university (UCA Joint)

 

Site:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201805486368?ul_noapp=true
We will continue into researching the variety of sweets we want and make a start on creating the final bags, collecting the materials ready. We will also once the dates have been decided on the shows (in particular fashion), we can then add these details and finalise the banners. Once this has been completed we will discuss with other students and members of staff on what size they recommend for the banner and the quantity. Making sure we have everything prepared and ready to go on the opening night.

Adjusting the Banners

With having a recent meetings we expressed the designs on what we had planned for the banners but was suggested to change it around slightly and use the programme InDesign for the scaling. Therefore we took on the role of changing the designs slightly to suit everyone else more. Below is the examples of the new designs. These may still continue to change slightly, but we now have the final base design to work with as the template.
To make the designs, we first made them in Photoshop, then used this file to place into the InDesign size where we could adjust the scaling.

Experimenting with Logos- Contribution towards the end of year show

Creating and designing logos part 2

(Click on links to view work in document- WORD)

With having researched and knowing a graphic designer (Sarah Wilmott), I decided to meet up with her and asking for her assistance in playing around with some ideas for the logo. Originally my group (branding and advertising) had the role of the logo, but this was then moved onto the publication group. But with not much activity from the other group, I decided to go ahead and have a play around with logo ideas.
Not only that but the graphic designer needed my assistance of taking some photography shots , so we was able to both work together and help one another out.
Evidence of assisting the graphic designer:
With having my own studio setup, I was able to supply her with the right equipment she needed. Not only that , but I was able to assist her in getting the correct lighting and what she needed to know in terms of photography and getting the shots she needed.

Creating Logos
Before meeting up, I put together a list of ideas to make it clear to the graphic designer what I wanted.
From there we was able to work with a rough template.
When putting the logos together, rather than just screen printing everything, I decided to record the screen and place in a video so the audience can see the full process of the logos being designed. It was also a great reference for myself if I was to try and create a logo with no assistance of a graphic designer.
(Video evidence of the process found on the disc’s/Or USB provided)
With having the name, it was easier to work with designs and colour. Having discussed with my group prior to this, I was able to look with working with bright vibrant colours. As you can see evidence in the videos, it shows myself and the graphic designer google sweet wrappers as well to see a rough idea on colours and packaging designs.
As well as playing around with logo designs , I also had a go at making a draft of a poster/banner design to see roughly what we would want and weather the logos I have designed would work on these or not. I then later shared the logos on the Facebook group page for others to see what I did and to help inspire the other groups designing the logo for ideas. Even though these logos weren’t necessarily going too used, I thought it be great to have a go and play around whilst I had the opportunity there. Not only that but I will be designing the banners for the show, therefore it gave me a rough idea and template to play around with in the meantime whilst the logo was being finalised.

Banner/Poster Layout experimenting:
I tried with having the logo displayed on and also without on the banner.
Without Logo placed:

Creating/Designing Logo’s Part 2

(Videos found on the USB with part 1- Evidence of creating Logos)
With having feedback from the exhibition meetings, I then went off to try some more designs with using the styles and patterns other students were suggesting via the Facebook page. With not being certain the images were copyright or not, I also made my own design from scratch. To do this I got some foam cream (usually found used when shaving) and some food colouring dye. With a clip I then moved the clip around with the food dye to create some interesting shapes and pattern. Therefore with having this we cannot then be accused of copyright and so on. The print screens are evidence of me making the designs and photographing it myself.

Evidence of me producing the foam by hand to create patterns. (Video Print screens)

 

Sketch up

When planning for the final year show, I wanted to experiment with having a go at looking at the layout of how I wanted to display my final prints. Originally with having previously wanting to create a book, after having feedback I was advised against this, and not only myself but others thought it would be best to present my work in larger scale print form. Along the way I had decided to make another character as I felt with the way I wanted to display my images, having 13 images, rather than 12 worked with the layout much better.
From the previous year, I found that the programme Sketchup was a great example to use, therefore I took it upon myself to have a play around and download the programme again and create a rough 3D layout of how I want to exhibit my work in the gallery. I thought with having this example , it will be easily accessible to show the curating group exactly how I want my work to be displayed and the sizes of each print of want roughly.

For a rough test I am fairly pleased with how the outcome looks. When it comes to the final installation I will work with measuring the distances between each photo on each side so that they are both level and have the same distance and width between them, creating a neat and clear (professional) layout.
During this unit, I will look more into how I’m going to display the lights on the board and how that will work. With knowing some contacts, I know someone who has experience with someone who works with electricals, so I am to get in contact with them to see if they have any advice on how I can connect my wiring and how the lights will fit on the back boards that the photos will mount onto.

Ways of presenting my work at the exhibition

With now looking at presenting my work in just print form. I will have a total of 15 prints. I will have a range in print size from A4- A2. I am looking at having the centre print piece for my layout as size A2. Then around this, I will have 4 prints laid out each side of the prints in A3 size and then the other 8 prints will be size A4, two in each corner of the photos. (Roughly laid out in the display below)

During the course of this unit, I shall be experimenting with what I can display my prints on. With buying a rough print, I am then going to experiment with mounting it onto MDF type board. This will then be hung up onto the wall. Another idea I had a looking and speaking to an electrician was to intertwine lights through the MDF board, creating a nice glowing lights through my images to create a sort of spot light underneath the images , rather than having them just flat on the wall.. With having battery operated ones as well, this will prevent me having to have leads hanging and ruin the display, not only that but it would also prevent tripping hazards. With looking at the aesthetics I may add in some woodland themes to the wall, depending on how the prints work, I may play around with this.

 

For the prints I will be looking into using DSCL colour labs who I have recently ordered my portfolio prints from as I found this company reliable. Unlike my portfolio prints where they had white borders, I will not be having white borders on my prints as I want them quite raw and natural looking.

 

Mounting Materials

I will either order online or go into stores such as Bunnings, Wickes or warehouses to get the materials myself.

If It comes to it and I find the lights to bright or don’t work with the prints , then I will look into getting a side lamp or a source of light that can make the prints stand out more to the audience as with the lack of light source , it may not be as attractive and the audience may bypass the prints. With saying that, I feel with my prints being fairly different, they should attract the audience whether or not there is a light source, but I found with having a light source as well, it helps enhance the effects and invite more people in.

Constant updates via Facebook Exhibition Page/Individual Group Chats (Branding Group)

Total Minutes of Meeting: Exclude 2 Wednesdays (Since September): On average about (Not exactly accurate but around about this number): 28 Hours

(Includes just the minutes of the Wednesday Meetings)

Individual Group meetings (4 Hours so far):

My posts in my group’s individual chat (Facebook): 30 Hours (From 14/02/17)

My Group: Branding

Within our group , we created a group chat , separate from the exhibition where we can all get in contact and keep each updated with what needs to be done and that. I found doing this was very useful and we have each been given a role within our group in what we need to achieve by the end of the year. My role: Is to create the Banners with another student (As this was a largely scale job that was set)

I shall research into some banner making and look at prices and how were going to design it once the logo and chosen name for the exhibition has been decided. In our groups there is both a mixture of photography and fashion. I felt this also was another good way of getting different types of ideas across.

Throughout this unit and within my group, I have represented leadership roles and have found that the people within my group come to me before confiding into the whole group. With myself constantly updating and planning meetings within and for the group.

All the posts from the Exhibition Page: (Keeping note to see from the other groups and students the updates of what’s been organised and planned) this enabled me to work out then what my group needed to work on etc.:
A run through on what is happening throughout the unit. Throughout the unit, we had to constantly keep updated with the Facebook page to see what was going on and what the plans were next for the show:

The platform enabled students to express their ideas and research and share with others.

Posts in order of when posted (October – April)

With being able to post what we’ve searched, it then prevented students from researching the same locations, unless it was asked. Therefore we was able to offer more options by doing it this way.
As there was two groups (Photography and fashion photo), we were able to share between both groups our opinions and even offer suggestions to the other group.

Each week a student is allocated and in charge of taking the notes down of the meeting that’s held that day. Once you had your go, it was then another students turn the following week to take down the notes, enabling everyone to each have a go.

At this point, the photography students had secured a place at the candid arts, but the fashion photography students are still researching and searching for places.

Exhibition meeting – Decision on name (14/02/18)
Some choices were suggested both on the Facebook page and others were emailed to the tutors.
Name choices:
Future Shot , Over , Patchwork , Anew Photo Factory , Squeeze , Stage 2 , Gassed , RPHY2: The Story Continues, Wise Crack , Flashing Lights , The Frozen Moment , The End Game , Wear it out , Chapter 2 , Lights Camera Action , More than Likely , The next gen , Faux , Clarity through light , Lens reflex , Denouement , Believe in Blue Jeans , Elegance , Bitter sweet symmetry , Collaboration , Life through a lens , A collective view , Shutter surprise , The third team , Light/Mind , Freeze the seconds , Art and you in a flash , Made by few , known by some , The third term lucky , Everlasting insight , A lasting impression , The artsy lens , Ace , Romancing , Steps , UCA fashion photog Aw 18/19 , Untitled , Eye Candy , U should come and see , Mind trip , Crisp , Virtuoso , The wave , Gimmick , The instances of youth , We couldn’t decide on a name , Appearance , Undergrads can art , Flux , Waffle , Merge , Degenerated , How come you are here , 4 Gone conclusion , Urban Myths , The Rubicon, Stories from the 99% , Flow , Studied , Zenith , Momentary laps of composition , Shoot Shot Done , Neominds , Another point of View , The finale , Taste , So it begins , Aura , Composure , Methodology , Sugar.

Based on the names, we were each allowed to put are hands up and vote for which names we liked, for the first lot of votes we could vote for more than one and this was voted by both the fashion and Photography. It was then whittled down to the top 6 most voted names and photography and fashion photography took it in turns to vote on which ones they wanted. Results of the vote seen down below:

Untitled (6 votes for Photography: 0 for Fashion)
The next Gen (2 for Photography: 0 for Fashion)
Eye Candy (2 for Photography: 2 Fashion)
Couldn’t decide on a name (7 for Photography: 1 Fashion)
How come your here (0 Photography: 1 Fashion)
Sugar (1 Photography: 6 Fashion)

Fashions finale vote: SUGAR
With Photography we saw that untitled and we couldn’t decide on the name were the top, but when discussing during the meeting , we suggested that maybe eye candy would possibly work best and link in with the Fashions exhibition name, Therefore we were to have one more vote between the 3 names and Eye Candy was the final choice.

Final Name Choices:

Fashion Photography: SUGAR

Photography: EYE CANDY

I then confirmed and wrote on the Facebook Group page for those who weren’t in, letting them know what the final names was:

Two weeks – Start planning and organising jobs and start with the logo (rough draft) to then show the group.
Following Up on the Group Chat to confirm to the others who weren’t in and continuing discussing further ideas:

The Choices between Logo Designs
That following Wednesday during the exhibition meeting, we went through the final logo votes to make sure everyone was happy with the final choice.

End of year Exhibition Contributions

Book research for End of year – FMP

Specific sites for books:
What we need to look at?
Costs, style, prices, pages. Where would be best to sell it? Whether or not we can do this alongside a final show?
The good thing with doing a book is that if we sell it to some book stores, it may possibly bring in more people who are possibly interested in any art based course to our university.
Possibly with fashion, we may not necessarily have to create a book but possibly an actual professional magazine. Depending on costs and that, this may work.

Price range
This all depends on the type of style, how many pages and copies and the company we go for.
We could also look into the possibility of creating an online e-book or magazine online/editorial.(InDesign??) This may be a better option for reaching out to more possible audiences.
Type of covers:
Hard back
Soft Back
What type of size and length would also work best for us?

 

Contacting Gallery Space – Evidence

We were each given a space in where we had to get in contact with them, inquiring about costs, space and whether or not they would support a student’s Gallery exhibition.
Below provided is the evidence of me getting in contact with the spaces:

Draft Email (Use for all companies/spaces)
‘Hi

I am contacting you to inquire about your exhibition space(s) for a graduation show next summer, around the beginning of June (subject to change). It will be a group of around 30/40 graduates from UCA Rochester’s BA Photography/ BA Fashion Photography course. The University has, for the past several years, exhibited at Free Range, but in response to feedback from students (too expensive, little pay-off), they have put it to us, the students, to research alternate spaces. So, as a student, I am unable to give you exact numbers and dates, but if possible, what costs could we roughly expect for your venue? And what is the availability of such a space like? I.e. how long in advance would the space need to be booked? As well as that is there any restrictions you have?

If you need any additional information, let me know and I shall do my best to get it to you.

All the best,

Emily
Student at UCA Rochester’

Depending on the venue, I will adjust the number of spaces, with also taking into account weather the BA Fashion photography will be exhibiting separately to the BA photography. When we have a rough estimate and knowledge of how it’s going to work, I’ll be able to email different spaces the exact number we want to work with.
