my media work

1. FMP Evaluation
Your name

2. Production Process Evaluation

3. Research
Surveys:
• The strengths of the research are that it helped me see what was popular with my target audience and
what would be the best way to set it out, this also influenced how my images would look.
• People may decide not to take the survey seriously. This means I am not going to get genuine answers,
which means it doesn’t help my project.
Interviews:
• A strength of interviews is that it let me get more direct answers, which were helpful and informative.
Feedback helped me improve my work. The answers are often more complex.
• A weakness of interviews is that people may not take the interview seriously. The interview may only
consist of a few questions which doesn’t mean I get as much information.
Experiments:
• A strength of my work is that it is very detailed and has a lot of very powerful images that are emotive.
• Weakness of experiments means I could spend too much time on a specific piece of work.
Pre-existing Products
• A strength is that it is easy to look at and analyse pre-existing products, so I can see what is successful and
look at how it is made and put together so it gives me a good indication of what to do.
• The weakness of the research is that I didn’t do as much as I wanted to, I wish I had done more research as
I feel that if I had more time I would have got more ideas together on how to produce the work. The effect
of this on my work is that the end product hasn’t been as well developed as I would have liked it to be

4. Planning
Pre-Production:
• The strengths with my project planning are that I knew what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it .
This helped me keep on track with my designing so I knew what I was doing and the route I wanted
my work to take.
• I think this helped produce a strong group of final images as they were all strongly linked with the
theme of conflict
Proposal document:
• I feel the strengths of my document is the level of detail I included about my practical pieces of
work.
• I feel that I could have spent too much time on the proposal, which in turn does not help me
produce the final piece of work.
Schedule:
• I would have liked to do a bit more planning around timescales so that I could make my images
better and make them look more polished and professional as I would have been able to achieve
this had I had more time.
• The effect of this lack of planning means that some of my final images are rougher than I would
have wanted them to be.

5. Time Management
I felt that I used my time well overall, although I feel that I
would have liked to have produced more experiments
specifically looking at style and colour. I would have also
liked more time to work on my final images.
I feel that this would have made my final images more
successful as I would have then had a complete pallet of
colours to work with and a more cohesive style that would
have flowed through all the images. Also I would have liked
extra time on my final images as this would have given me
time to refine the final product and make them look more
professional and polished.

6. Target Audience Appeal
• It has a lot of conflict and war in it this will appeal to my target audience because this is what the audience is interested in.
This should also interest there is also a lot of variation in the time periods as one image has the Vietnam War, Medieval
Battle and a nuclear blast in it (see below) .
• Some of the images are of a single solders these are very graphic and have a comic book quality that should appeal to the
age range of 15-44 of my target audience as this age range are interested in comic book style graphics & films (see above).
• The colours of the images will appeal to my audience because the colours I have used are suited to boys/men as they are
very bold, graphic and hard edged echoing the unpleasantness of war (see below).

7. Target Audience Appeal
• My audience will like the images as they have a lot to do with conflict and war boys/men are interested in this subject an example of
this is most men watch war films and buy war based video games and like the gritty reality of war and the uniforms and apparel (below
left).
• My images do not really have any specific characters so I don’t know if my audience will like it as much with out main character to focus
on. My work is more about the message of war never changing and conflict which should appeal to people who have a social conscience
and realise that wars will always happen as its part of the human condition and people who for that same reason have lost hope in the
human race (below right).
• I think are entertaining and powerful which is what I set out to create and also thought
provoking like the image of the soldier with the skull implying that he is already dead (see below)

8. Technical Qualities
Both mine and the other images have some
things in commen like how there both
rotoscope and filter gallery and both have
filter gallery
Both have colorization of world war 1
And both have images to do with dark souls
When colorizing images,
important
To get it both factual and
accurate

9. Aesthetic Qualities
The strengths of this
image is that it shows
war through the ages
and that whilst
technology changes
wars are still fought
I like this image a lot and feel that it was very creative in that I have merged together
3 images to produce one image. I like how I have used multiple time periods together
and created one cohesive product around my theme.
I think that with this
image I could
have made the
battle scene at the
bottom clearer for
the viewer I would
have done this using
filter gallery
I used a black and white palette to
make this image stark and graphic
which I like I feel it gives
Atmosphere to this image.
This is not the only image of this kind
as I have produced more like this I just
Chose this to represent combined
Images.
I like how well these
Time periods have merged
Together in this image
I think this is a interesting image for the viewer because as you view it you notice the historical
Inconsistencies
Meaning is ‘War Never Changes’ different times but still at war

10. Aesthetic Qualities
I feel that this is a
creative image because
I have taken an image
and reduced it down to
a graphic image that is
still readable by the
viewer and it has a nice
graphic novel feel to it.
I like this image because as it is one of my favourite rotoscopes because
it has lots of detail despite it being a heavily rotoscoped image.
I would like to
Improve this image
by tidying up the
edges by going over
them again . This
would make the
image more refined
and polished.
The strength of this image is that its bold
and very graphic its weakness however is that
Whilst it’s a soldier its not part of a actual battle
Scene.
I like the colours used in this
Image as they give a feeling
Of power and strength.
This is not the only image
of this kind as I have
produced more like this
I just Chose this to
represent Rotoscope
What I like about this image is that its simplfyed by also
Retains interesting detail
I think this will appeal to my audience because it’s a strong hero figure & historical/fantasy
image
This image evokes the
Feeling of a lone heroic
Soldier almost a superhero

11. Aesthetic Qualities
I like the way my image looks as the grainy quality lends
itself to the subject and gives a feel of WW1. I also like
Contrast of the blue sky against the brown of the trenches.
Whilst I like the image I
Feel that it is not as
creative as my other
images as it is just a
simple colourization.
I like the hyper realisation on the colours used
As it makes the image although changed little
more graphic which my audience should like.
I would have liked to improve the
colours used and overlay with lots more
detail as I enjoyed putting colour onto a
Black and white image to make it look
modern
The strength is that it
Is a great image to work
With its weakness is
That I haven’t worked on
This image more
This is not the only image
of this kind
as I have produced more
like this I just
Chose this to represent
Colourization
I like how with colour added to a black and white image it gives it a 3d quality that my audience
Should appreciate and
Also the subject matter
ww1
I think the meaning of this
image is that it history feels
more relevant to us now in
colour and at first glancy this
could be happening now
‘war never changes’

12. Aesthetic Qualities
I like this piece of work as I like the style, it looks as though it is fading away in time and
will end up being just be a memory consigned to history.
I would improve this
work by spending more
time on it as this is just
A simple filter gallery
Image. I would like to
have used colour and
Rotoscope on it, maybe
also overlaying another
image from another
time period behind it as
a background.
I think I could have
been more creative
and merged images
together
Its strength is that it
gives a real feel of
the grittiness of war but
Its weakness is that it is too
simple
This is not the only image of this kind
as I have produced more like this I just
Chose this to represent Filter Gallery
I think my audience will like the heavy war machinery (tanks ) used in this image. Very male
Area of interest.
I think this image conveys
The relentlessness of war,
these men who risked
Their lives just fade from memory
Young lives wasted.

13. Peer
Feedback

14. Feedback 1
• What did you like about the product?
• I like how visually interesting these images of war
and blood shed are. The use of colour and black
and white grain matches the mood the tone and
the time period very well.
• What improvements could have been made to
the product? I am not sure I can improve
anything with this piece of work. 10/10 IGN

15. Feedback 2
• What did you like about the product?
• I like how you used the features inside the Filter Gallery.
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
• The outlines on your rotoscope are very rugged. I think your work would look better if the
outlines were smoother.
• In some of the rotoscopes you didn’t trace over the outlines properly, which has left black
gaps

16. Feedback 3
• What did you like about the product?
– All the images are impactful to show the difficulties of
war and has modern and medieval attires within, all
have a simple look and not to much cluttering it.
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
– I would recommend to change some because some
are rather difficult to see the image and maybe use
some other techniques for the image or maybe look
up tutorials.

17. Peer Feedback Summary
• What do you agree with from your peer
feedback?
– Yes it is very helpful and shows me what I have to
work on for example making the images more easy to
understand as I want the images to be clear enough to
understand the subject of the image. Also to refine
my rotoscoped work.
• What do you disagree with from your peer
feedback?
- I wanted some of the images to look more rugged as it was
a very graphic look I was going for in my work.

18. Peer Feedback Summary
I feel that on the whole my Peer feed back was positive with all the
viewers as most found my images very impactful and strong, which is
what I was attempting in this project. Most liked the graphic style and
content of the work and realised that the content of the images was
about war and conflict. One reviewer specifically liked the style of the
work noting they liked how I had used the features inside the filter
gallery.
But further to the feedback I would probably make the following changes
– I would make all images clearer so the content was easy to understand
which would make the underlying message in my work stronger.
– Look Up tutorials as this will help improve my work and take it to a
higher standard.
– I would refine the images and trace over the edges better when
rotoscoping to ensure there where no black gaps left behind as that
will give my work a more finished/polished look.
