Grades;
Planning 13/20 (proficient)
Construction 35/60 (basic)

I got a basic level in;
Basic framing a shot, including and excluding elements as appropriate.
Variety of shot distances as appropriate.
Shooting material appropriate to the task set.
Selection of mise-en scene including colour, figure, lighting, objects and settings.
Manipulation of photographs as appropriate to the context for presentation, including cropping and resizing.

Because I got this level and I'm not happy with it I am going to do some things to get a much better mark.
For example this is what i'd like to do to get the grade I am wanting to get.


  1. I am going to take a whole new array of images and make them fit what I think I would like on my blog.
  2. I am going to adapt the illustrations and text types to make my images fit my market better. 
  3. I am going to take some other images to make my front cover look more colorful and conventional to the genre. 
  4. I am going to take and put in some more target images.
  5. I am going to make my blog more commentated so I can fully explain why I have done things, how I have done them and what I do and don't like about them to get a proper understanding of the work.
This work will all be done by the 14th February ready for my construction and planning of the double page spreads.
