Pre Reflection
I feel that I have managed to explore both the notion of photographing the unseen and using props (the ghost) exploring a very personal experience. Although I haven’t listed lots of ideas I feel that visual experimentation with just one starting point continues to work for me.
Visual experimentation continues to be progressive in the development of work and aids the creative process within my own working practice which is slowly evolving. This is done by experimenting with a initial pre visualized idea which then are given the freedom to grow and change direction.
Rumination continues to be an issues, this is caused by my lack of confidence in the written and research element. I believe this is reinforced by looking at other student learning logs and bench marking myself against others has a comparative of what I should or shouldn’t be doing. This is not helpful we all have differing practice, strengths and weaknesses.
Time? It has taken me once again quite some time to submit this assignment. I feel that I should be working to deadlines and producing work but self imposed deadlines places pressure to complete on time. This could lead to putting work out that is not has good has it could be. I have also been working on assignment three and five and the same time which has impacted on the submission of this assignment.
I think that time management reviews need to be carried regularly and that the overall and ultimate deadline personally for me for this unit is the completion ready for Nov ‘18 assessment.
I have acted on my tutor feedback from assignment one with regards to consistent colour and exposure throughout the series which helps strengthen it overall. I also acted on the making use of available equipment i.e tripod was used in the ghost image.
I have carefully considered the use of text and how it affects the viewers reading of it.
I need to think about how this assignment will be presented in assessment, prints or slideshow.
Areas still to be completed before assessment submission

I also need to proof read all written work.
