End of Year Update: All Modules

Narrative Forms

Just a quick update on how my my narrative essay went. I wrote a piece on transmedia texts and how I could to apply transmedia storytelling to my comic book I wrote for the previous module.
I think it went well I will wait until it is marked and i have my grade before I go into more detail about it.

Visual Forms

I never went to the seaside to study my topic of pirate, I was meant to go with my dad to Portsmouth but family issues arose. However my friend went to Cardiff Bay and took some pictures for me. I have also being researching the pirate topic a lot but veered away from the topic as a typical study (not eye patches and peg legs) I looks more at cargo and the environment of the era, thing such as rock pools, the sea, sea life and cargo such as exotic animals and cocoa.

Today [April 21st] I have had a meeting with my lecturer suggestions to make my sketchbook stronger would be to focus on what my studies will be put towards? a film ? a painting?
Also I have done lots of painting and i should probably do more drawing ans sketches but my lecturer loves my painting process
I needed to work on more textures and perhaps focus more on quick smaller sketches rather than paintings and time consuming studies.

The hand-in went smoothly - almost to smoothly.

Production

[April 21st] "I've not updated this in a while but it has been hectic. Well Hell. I love the good stress of creating something but so far I have been working really hard and thing just keep going wrong mainly faulty technology, people not being professional/enthusiastic and other outside disturbances. It has effected me and my work greatly. "

"On the plus side!! I have how some rough sound off my musician for my film which is great!! I am also still on time with my schedule and hopefully all my hard work will pay off . I just push past this rubbish week."

[May 3rd] " I have had more issues with my collaboration; my artist seems unprofessional. They are most likely stressed, the main issue though is communication, I have tried to communicate. Perhaps not well enough, but I have supplied the means to create backgrounds and I am not sure how much more I can help. I am very grateful for the help, however it is poorly conducted."

Again my hand-in went very smoothly, I did finish all of my work there are still some things I would like to clear up with my animation to make it better; making it smoother and a few colouring issues that that I had, I would also like to improve on the consistency of my characters design, but that is is more of a learning curve for next time.
