Due to falling behind in my last assignment HA2 Lucozade
Label Attractor, it was important that I produced a time management plan which
shows where I’m unable to do work because of things outside of college, term
time, free lesson etc. I found filling
in this plan hard because I wasn’t sure how to split it all up evenly, but
using the plan has kept me well on track than it did before. It was useful
thing to do, and I kept it updated every few weeks, because even though I used
it, things changed around and I did some things probably not according to the
plan. Also doing that meant it changed how much time I had to do stuff.
For task 2 we had to make research into Romeo & Juliet
and Shakespeare. This was a short but
detailed task because we had to link it all together on how we could modernise
Shakespeare. I spent too long on this task like the other one, and I not quite
sure why. I enjoy putting mood boards together but I am very easily distracted
and many factors in lesson can instantly distract me and it sways me away from
doing the work. As well as mood boards, I made some mind maps and ideas
generation which just shown the meanings of Romeo and Juliet, and how using ‘hip-hop’
can help modernise it which helps us create our final images. I then had to
think of what scenes I was going to base my 6 final images on. It was hard to
pick ‘key events’ of the film because I think they were all relevant, but I came
up with my 6 ideas and was really happy with them.
I needed a big push to start Task 3 because this was where I
actually started mocking up the images in Illustrator and creating them in Photoshop.
Even though I’d been getting used to Illustrator and Photoshop since September,
I found it difficult to approach the task. I made myself familiar with the pen
tool and got down to drawing the images. I really thought about what I was
putting in the images and they have all came out really good. At this point I had
fell behind again and If I was to do anything different it would be to not have
as much time off ill because it effected the rate at which I produced my work. As well as creating the images, I made
print screens of my work throughout to show the progress I was making each time.
It shows evidence of me doing the work as well.
Unfortunately I didn’t hit the deadline for this assignment
due to being off ill for about 2 weeks altogether, I did do some of the work at
home but it was limited as to what I could do. When I finally finished the
images I was so relieved. I just really wish that I hadn’t fell behind, because
I was determined to keep on track throughout the whole project, but I’m happy
with the end result.
