HA3 Evaluation
- 1. Luke Finlay BTEC Media Level 3 HA3 Task 4- Evaluation HA3 Evaluation For this project we had to create a series of posters relating to scenes from Romeo and Juliet with a hip hop/urban twist on them. Our first task was to create a schedule so that we could manage our time well. In previous tasks my time management was quite poor so I needed to take this quite seriously. I did this by setting out the dates in a grid format and underneath the dates I stated whether I could do the work or not on that day. To make the schedule seem more interesting I filled the box of any date I couldn’t do in red, any dates I could do in green and any dates I may have been able but not 100% sure I filled in purple. Any date that had past I filled in grey. I stuck to this system for the first week but then I forgot about the schedule and didn’t look at it again. If I had checked it and updated it more regularly I would have finished my project earlier. Our second task was to create an ideas generation which consisted of Mind maps and moodboards. The moodboard I created had to have pictures that represent Manchester, Crime and Urban scenes. This consisted of pictures of Manchester landmarks e.g. The Hilton Hotel, The Urbis and Salford Quays. It also consisted of crime pictures e.g. Gangs, fights and the police. The rest of the images were urban scenes such as a lot of graffiti and break dancing. I would eventually use some of these images for my final designs. For the mind map I had to write down the main themes of Romeo and Juliet and then work how they could be interpreted in the modern day. I didn’t find this hard and didn’t take very long to complete this task. For the next task we had to think of our final ideas and put together a series of moodboards consisting of the original images we would use for our final designs. This task took longer than I expected because it took a long time to get the perfect images for the designs and I had to collect a lot more images than I first imagined. Once I had collected all the images, I got started on my final designs. To create our final designs we had to work on Adobe Illustrator. We had to import the images to the document and used the paint tool over the original images to create a more arty effect. For the first design I had a Manchester backdrop of a few landmarks, and someone holding someone up at gun point with a police car in the background, this represents the conflict between the Montague’s and the Capulet’s. My second image is a women stood on the top of a tower block with a man at the bottom declaring his lover her, this represents Romeo telling Juliet he loves her despite them being on rival families. My next image was someone hiding behind a wall as they look at person on the floor in a pool of blood with the police on the case; this represents the scene of when Romeo kills Tybalt in retaliation of Tybalt killing his bother Mercutio. My next image is a couple by the sea on their own, this represents Romeo and Juliet being together one last night before Romeo is banished the next morning. My next image is a picture of two people meeting up and doing some sort of deal for a potion, this represents the scene when Juliet gets a potion to appear dead. My final image was an image of two dead bodies with a knife covered in blood and a smashed bottle; this represents the final scene where Romeo kills himself because he thinks Juliet is dead. Overall I was fairly happy with my final designs. I think my biggest problem was that I hadn’t used Adobe Illustrator very much before this task so my images weren’t very smooth. I also could have added more hip hop/urban references in my final designs.
