Proposal

For this assignment i was asked to produce a range of creature-based photographic images for use on the box of a board game based upon the theme of Harry Potter. And i was also asked to produce initial and secondary research to support your ideas that will include location research, photography technique research and Harry Potter themed board game research. For my pictures we are going to the Happy Potter Studios to look around and to take pictures, and also we will be going to Stone Bridge City Farm to go and take pictures of all of the different animal there for example:

• Cows
• Pigs
• Horses
• Goats
• Sheep
• Rabbits
• Guinni pigs 
• Chickens
• Ducks 
• Birds

Once we do these pictures we have to put them onto Photoshop and  then we will have to create 6 final images of the animals and then we will have to create 3 final images out of them 6 with different body parts for example a cow with a goat head. Once we finish them then we will have to go on to Photoshop and create a background the size of a board game and put a background pf it from when we was at the Harry Potter studios and then put the final 3 images onto it.

Evaluation

For this assignment i was asked to produce a range of creature-based photographic images for use on the box of a board game based upon the theme of Harry Potter. And i was also asked to produce initial and secondary research to support your ideas that will include location research, photography technique research and Harry Potter themed board game research.  I thought that this project was be going to be quite easy until we realised that we didn't actually have that much time to get it finished.

With this assignment i found that going out and taking the pictures was possibly the easiest part about this assignment however i found that actually creating our final board game cover was close behind. While we were taking the photos i learnt how to properly use my telephoto lens and also how to take a good picture with it and while i was using Photoshop i learnt how to use the rulers and to use them to mark out a grid.


The most successful part of my project was possibly my 6 final images because i made the final board game cover and before my 3 images merged together. I think this because i really like the images and the way that i have edited them all in different ways for example i did the cow image in black and white and i made the one of the duck really detailed on his feathers. 

I faced a few problems with my assessment because i missed a weeks so i was behind quite a bit i managed to get up to date with it quite quick. Also i faced a problem with choosing which two images to merge together. However one of the biggest problems i faced was the college computers because sometimes they work and sometimes they don/t and on some of them Photoshop doesn't work.

The things that i would do differently next time was to manage my time so much better and not to get behind on my work and to try and fish every piece of work before the hand in date because then if i realise that i have missed something then i can just go back and do it.
