Cha cha changes

I don't think there is a specific piece of work that i haven't mentioned that i think needs changing. But i do feel that i need to give the hair side of this course some tlc. I think my problem is i'm constantly doing something to do with my own hair in my everyday life such as making wigs and trying strategic hairstyles on myself that i forget to pass this skill onto my projects. i honestly do not have one proud hair moment from either of my projects as i have concentrated on make up more.  If i could redo last year i would of definitely practiced hair more and would of taken it more seriously.

An area of skill i do think i have done well is the special effects side. I feel i did really really well (I don't feel this often) Even sue asked me if i had studied this before although it was my first time. These were some of my most successful moments because i was proud of myself and my work.





In conclusion i feel my experience over this past year has changed my way of thinking. I no longer think of what everyone else is doing but i'm trying to be original even if its wrong (if there is such a thing). I'm absolutely stoked  to start this new year especially with the sfx side as i feel i have talent in that area already. I definitely need to plan more and do thing on time this year coming, I will do so by using a diary to make sure things are done on time.

Intro


Reflection; serious thought or consideration.
Over the past year at uni I've not only learned a lot about my subject but also about myself,
how my mind works and what I've been doing wrong! In this post i will explain How have I've changed in my attitudes or actions,what i have learned, what i think has caused me to change and whether i have improved. 

In my first project the new Elizabethan's, i started the project full of original ideas I wanted to combine Elizabethan make-up with African princess ideals ( which now i think about it i really wish i had done would of been soooo awesome) the reason behind this is because i wanted to combine two opposite cultures together to create something magnificent!


I regret that somewhere along the line i thought my ideas were wrong and that this isn't what my lecturers wanted. 
In my second project i feel i took a big leap forward and went with an idea that i thought was wacky but i went with it anyway. I am extremely pleased that i went with the idea that i truly liked and i think it come out well although my location photography is questionable i hope to improve on that in the next year.

something i've learned along the way is that its not about what you think your lecturer may like its about expressing your creative ability to the max. No idea is a bad idea. something I will be taking into the second year.
