Critique week - personal reflection

For critique week I presented my developed project and ideas to Lynn Parker, Ryan Locke and Brian Robinson. The points of personal development were made clear to the lecturers; new aims and objectives, literature research, blog development, mood boards for project location, understanding of colour terminology, film and game research (in relation to horror), 3D drawings and animated lighting tests. My development was met with great praise, primarily on my choice of Brazil for the location of my project for my 3D environment. All three lecturers made the point that as I had chosen Brazil, that I should research the country extensively; colour, culture, tradition, folklore and horror films from Brazil. Secondly, Lynn pointed out that in the past four weeks, yes it was good that I had started my 3D drawings, but due to my mass amount of research, the practical side has been somewhat neglected and that I should try and balance all tasks at once in order to get the best possible results out of my project. Finally it was made very clear to me by both Ryan and Lynn that when presenting my work it should be professional and recommend avoid using personal expressive pictures in the future. I thought it went really well as I now have another point of development for my project - In terms of development, balance is my primary concern - it is clear that I have been neglecting the practical side of things and hope to be more constructive in my day-by-day productivity. I hope to learn everything I can on the country before I start anything practical in order to ensure my work is accurate and top quality. In the future I now know that I should try to be more professional than expressive in my presentations and make sure that is reflected in my next one.
