Final Evaluation

I started off the year with a positive attitude and felt excited to get stuck in by getting really creative. I started off by keeping up to date with my blog and doing work as and when it was set. I was really excited by both the briefs we covered this term and I wanted to really get my teeth stuck in. I feel like I have let myself down as I allowed my own personal issues to get to me and this took a massive effect on my work. I also found it really hard to juggle being a Mum and full time student. I know that I am capable of the work and I know full well that I can achieve great results. I feel that this first year was my time to get an understanding of what I now have to do for years 2 and 3. I now know that I need to focus more on managing my time better and I also need to stop feeling guilty towards my son, as I feel like I should have spent more time with him while I have been at uni and he at nursery. This has effected me quite a lot and I put my hands up and admit that I could have been a lot tougher on myself. Having said that, I have really loved learning some amazing techniques this term around. Some of the skills that I have learnt have been so enjoyable and really valuable to my future. Special FX and Prosthetics in the Film industry is the road I want to take. So having touched on this in our lessons has been really exciting and very eye opening. I feel that the work I produced this term was not up to my own personal standards, however I was really happy with my Miss Havisham and very fond of my Quentin.

This first year has taught me so much. I have learnt a lot about myself and have realised that I can do it, I just need to have more faith in myself and organise my time better. Now that I have had the chance to figure this out I feel very confident that when we go back in October I will be on full form. I feel like this first year for me, was most definitely my trial and error year. Year 2 will be completely different. I have so much passion and so many ideas that I know I am doing the right course and me being at uni with my son is the right thing.

With regards to the briefs we got given this term, I absolutely loved them. Creating Miss Havisham was really enjoyable and I loved creating my Miss Havisham in real life. I was so pleased with my final outcome, my favourite element being the hair I created. I loved the shapes and texture and the volume I created really gave it a Miss Havisham feel, personally speaking. I could have done a lot more research for this brief. However I still felt that I understood the brief and felt I did a good job creating a very eerie Miss Havisham.

Quentin and Claudia was a fantastic brief and I very much liked the sound of it when we first got told about it. I had so many ideas and was really excited to get creative. I am disappointed in myself for allowing some personal issues to get the best of me this brief around. As a result my work has been effected by this but I have learnt from this and next year I will take with me what I have learnt this time around. Having said this, Although my shoot could have been far better, there is something about my Quentin that I really like, and I feel that I could adapt him even more. I am going to re do this shoot for my own personal reasons in the Summer.

Overall, even though I have slipped up, I know that I am on the right course and I know what work I can produce when I put my mind to it. I have been passionate about make up/high fashion and film etc since I can remember and I wont let a few problems get in the way of what I believe will be a very fulfilling career ahead of me. I am determined to make a life for myself and my son and come September I will be raring to go. I am so grateful that I have learnt so much from year 1 and I will not be letting myself down again.
