Evaluation
BA (Hons.) GRAPHIC DESIGN – END OF MODULE SELF-EVALUATION
Digital Module
1. What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?
Skills- Create a body of research that consisted of using after effects,been able to know the Basic like the silent movie moving shapes and a few effects but able to build at a higher quality near the end of the module for the e4 brief and able to find short cuts or other fast resolutions to the storyboard and test pieces.
2. What approaches to generating work and solutions to problems have you developed and how have they helped?
Never really done any storyboarding just like after effects but i did find it enjoyable and helpful planning and playing around my ideas on the storyboard.I found good steps of improving my storyboard to have a good simple high quality storyboard but not to detailed.For example draw sketches on yellow post it notes so you can move them around and change them then another detailed sketch of the resolution and then a neat version to sum up which I created it on photoshop from scanning image and pasting them.
3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalize on these?
strengths are storyboards and illustrations and I'm sure my Patience on the after effects help to create my drawn image on the video.Making fast decisions and plying around on after effects to see if my idea works but not wasting long hours creating it.(head and hands)My i am please what i created on my first try on after effects there is still a lot to learn.Iweb was difficult to produce as it was sometime unpredictable at times.But I have defiantly learnt to be careful on computers to back up every thing,I think I was lucky I didn't loose anything because constantly backup work on disc and my personal hard drive.But there where moments i did loose things (like a drink leaking in my bag and destroyed my usb stick)but even I already back my work up there is this constant fear of loosing work after and during this brief.
4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how could you exploit these more fully?
weaknesses- I don't think I'm a natural at after effects but I know I put 100% into it.I web didn't sometimes agree with me and found it difficult to keep the memory low.But kept it consistant.
5. Identify five things that you will do different next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
1. Make my after effects easier (using simple shapes not illustrative images)
2. Practise I web small part rather than doing it all and find out some images don't turn up on publish
3. Took more breaks away from the computer (felt a bit ill staring at the computer all day)
4. Have examples on silent movie
5. Knew what to put on the I web(Not to sure what was important to put in I web and what wasn't important)
6. How would you grade yourself on the following areas:
(please indicate using an ‘x’)
5= excellent, 4 = very good, 3 = good, 2 = average, 1 = poor
12345
AttendanceX= 5
PunctualityX= 5
MotivationX=5
CommitmentX=5
Quantity of work producedX=3
Quality of work producedX=3
Contribution to the groupX=3
The evaluation of your work is an important part of the assessment criteria and represents a percentage of the overall grade. It is essential that you give yourself enough time to complete your written evaluation fully and with appropriate depth and level of self-reflection. If you have any questions relating to the self evaluation process speak to a member of staff as soon as possible.

vidoes mock up
This is my beginning with the glasses.
Introduction to 1- 10 which will be near the end.
neos cafe in Cockermouth
Freeman & Fine Exhibition in Neos, Cockermouth. Cumbria graduates’ exclusive first show.
Exquisite drawings, shadow motion and exclusive video works, can all be seen in artists Rebecca Freeman and Adam Fine’s first solo exhibition, created fresh for Cumbria. Comprised of film, digital video, photography, drawing and print, the show, entitled simply Freeman & Fine, will be held at THE HIP Gallery at Neo’s in Cockermouth, previewing on Friday, January 30th, 2009, and running through to February 28th.
Showcased in this exhibition is the new animation, In you, everything sank. For the filming of this project, Rebecca Freeman traveled from England to Dallas, Texas to meet Adam Fine in November of 2008, spending roughly ten days gathering on-location footage, and filming projected paper cutouts in the laborious process of stop-motion. For this process, they used a vintage Canon super 8 camera, obtained from eBay, and shot on Kodak Vision-3 film, bought in California. Fine’s garage was made into a makeshift studio for the two to complete the six minute and twenty second film. The film, encompassing both stop-motion footage and live-action footage from the US and UK, was transferred to a digital copy for editing purposes. Providing the soundtrack for In you, everything sank, is Courtney Lain and Chad Merritt’s musical project, The High Seas, based in Louisiana.
This animation follows up their first collaborative film, Cemetery of Kisses, which has shown at Carlisle’s “Lowther Arcade Project” in late 2008, and “On Wednesdays, We Draw Monsters”, in June of 2008.
Rebecca Freeman and Adam Fine decided to begin collaborating in late December 2007, while at the Blackfriars Pub, having just left the Tate Modern in London. They both left an exhibition featuring artists including William Kentridge and Kara Walker, thinking they would like to begin producing animation. Freeman, who works primarily in drawing, print, and silhouette, and Fine, who works predominately in film and video installation, discovered that they left the exhibition with the same feeling, whilst discussing the exhibition over their respective pints. Sketches were drawn at their dimly lit table, and they began to work off each others’ strengths to achieve their final means.
Freeman and fine both Graduated from the University Of Cumbria’s Fine Art Course in Carlisle and during their time in the county became very involved in the local art scene and community. Both as students volunteered for FRED and the Carlisle Arts Festival and spent time working in Loweswater. Debbie Taylor, manager of Neo’s is herself a graduate of the former Cumbria Institute of the Arts and set up Neo’s in 2004 with the aim to provide an artist led space, adding to the hub of creativity situated 'over the bridge' in Cockermouth.

Ident Mtv Global Warming
The hand rendered aparoach works well as to relate to global warming.hand made = organic. Cut out shapes 2d structure make it look like its made out of paper.dark colours used very earthy greens, blues, browns and reds.Looks like its crated like a play a performance at a feather for example the cut out waves.
Breakfast revenge club
This is a video that I looked at as an a screen shot from before.Apart from being groom some, the colours work well as it shows character and the sketchy animation and blurred scenes.
