Reflection on Website!

Year 10 Creative Media Short Film Production – Term 04 Mr Andrews

Task 5: Website and poster self-reflection and evaluation:

Part One: Discuss your feelings about the website, poster and promotional materials task:

1.    Are you satisfied with the final result?

I am satisfied with my final result.

2.    Did the website require more/less time than you originally thought?

It required less time than I originally thought.

3.    Would like to change any aspects of your final project (layout, links, images, colour scheme etc)?

I would’ve liked to add more detail and a better home page, instead of it being soo boring and basic.

4.    If you could start the project again what would you do differently?

I would make each website page more detailed and colourful.

Part Two: Respond to each of the following dot points (using complete sentences or paragraphs). You should include as much detail as possible in your responses.

1.    Discuss whether your website and poster have turned out the way you pictured them?

My poster turned out exactly how I had pictured it too. My website I would’ve liked the homepage to be more eye-catchy and detailed. I also would have liked my website to be a bit more creepy and fairytale like.

2.    Describe whether your site and poster clearly depicts the intended genre and describe some specific design techniques you have used to achieve this;

I have used black everywhere, to give an image of death and evil. I have also got creepy photos of the bad characters in the film. There are also images of creepy forests and words to scare the audience.

3.    Did you have all of the necessary resources to complete your site and poster or did you create new materials?

I had pretty much all of the necessary resources. It made it a lot easier to complete this assignment having my own laptop, as I did not need to get a hard drive and rely on bringing it every lesson to be able to do my work.

4.    Describe any problems or difficulties you encountered during the process. These may include; technical difficulties, corrupt or missing files, difficulty using the iWeb software, problems exporting files, sound or video etc;

I did not find any difficulties in this task, except from converting my poster off Photoshop on one computer onto another computer. I achieved this by making the image a smaller size, in order to be able to email it across.

5.    Clarify how you made use of planning, content-lists and the flowchart during the authoring process;

I drew a tree diagram as my planning for my website and then put that into words to explain each page. I had an image in my head of what I wanted my website to look like and tried my best to make that image realistic. I put all my planning onto one document and then converted that to blogger. I did all my planning before I did all the practical activities for this task.

6.    Clarify any time-management issues you encountered during the creative process and describe the steps you took to improve in this area;

I did not have any time-management issues for this task, as in the last task; I found it very difficult to complete everything because I ran out of time. I had learnt my lesson and managed to do a lot more during class on this task and therefore successfully completed it in time.

7.    Discuss whether you undertook adequate and detailed reflection throughout your project.

As I was completing my project, I was reflecting on what I was doing and if the presentation was adequate.

8.    Have you provided enough evidence to support your work? (Look back at your blogs/journals and think about whether it looks like a whole terms worth of work);

Yes, I have done many blog entries for my work to reflect on each task.
