Assessment Criteria
Demonstration of Technical and Visual Skills:
- The images are sharp and stand out against the backdrop
- I was looking for a range of expressions on Sam’s face whiich I obtained – but it was limited by what he was prepared to do
- I considered both black and white and colour images
- I have gone for colour; but I am concerned that the faces can get lost against the highly coloured background and am still wondering about the advantage of black and white to minimise this effect
Quality of outcome:
- There are a range of images taken of a difficult subject
- The images do tell a story about Sam although somewhat limited
Demonstration of creativity:
- I spent considerable time planning this exercise both in organising the shoot and the necessary pre-work
- These are fairly straightforward portrait shots and I don’t think I have been overly creative in the actual pictures
Context:
- The whole assignment was based on the work done in part 2
- The work sits within the framework of images taken of people with mental health images and I referenced some similar works
- ASD is a particular interest and I have been looking at ways of picturing it since starting EYV so there is a thread of work about it and about mental health though the course
