MEST4 Preliminary exercise: evaluation

MEST4 Preliminary exercise: evaluation

1) Why did you choose this particular recreation and how does it link to your main production?

The central image used a technique i wanted to explore and have some practise with to use in the linked production. I used this because it links to the political theme i was going for.

2) What difficulties did you face in producing this recreation?

The main difficulty i faced was having to alter the central image to fir the original as it was difficult to find someone to portray 'the Donald' accurately. Also, trying to match the exact colours was difficult and took a lot of playing around to get close to.

3) What are the strengths of the production?

The strengths is that the text and images are aligned well, also the colours and textures are almost exactly the same which makes it look more authentic. 

4) What aspects would you look to improve?

The central image is the main thing I would like to improve as an official photoshoot wasnt used to take the image which could be a better quality.

5) What lessons will you take from this process that will help you with your main production?

Take more time for the photoshoot and casting for it is equally as important.

6) Now that you are ready to start your actual linked production, explain clearly what you will be creating and how confident you are in delivering this.

I will be creating a politics magazine for a review of 2016 politics mainly for the UK but also US briefly, also predicting what 2017 politics would be like.
