Evaluation requirement for Unit 09

 If you look through the assignment at the evaluation criteria (Below) the key thing you need to do simply to attain a pass is clarified in section 9/C.P5 and 9/CP6. Ideally you would all aim to attain the higher grades which is slightly more complex and requires more than simple explanations.

When you type your work up in your design sheets, make sure you use a bold heading. What you should be aiming to do is write about the worth of the knowledge and skills you've gained during the two sections of the 'Sinister' brief. 

Once you've typed up the heading in bold... Evaluation you then type up another for each of the sections you need to write about - (1)Materials; (2)Techniques; (3)Processes.

(1)Materials Identify again the materials that you've used and then write a paragraph about the fact that previously you had little or no knowledge of these materials, then explain why this new knowledge and the fact that you've been able to use them has been useful to you as someone learning about photography. You might want to mention the fact that this kind of knowledge is only accessible generally through education and not widely available to the public/wider population. If possible explain how the knowledge of these materials is going to benefit you as you move forward on the course.

(2). Techniques As above use the same approach but this time in terms of the techniques you've used... These include Pinhole camera; Dish processing of prints; Daylight exposure; Scanning with flatbed scanners; Post production using Photoshop. 

(3). Process As above in section (1), but discussing processes... (1). Exposing media (Photopaper) using a cardboard box as  camera and making images. (2). Processing Silver-based media using chemicals e.g. wet processing in the darkroom. (3). Editing images and improving them using digital manipulation methods (Photoshop). 

Finally - write up a number of paragraphs where you identify your weaknesses, deficiencies and lack of knowledge and make detailed suggestions of what you think you need to do in order to improve further. *Note you're at the start of your Photographic journey and one of the main observations with regards this is the more you do, the more you read and study and make pictures the better you'll get and improvement will happen gradually.
