Final evaluation

So sadly study wise the Final major project has come to an end, however I know sometime soon I am definately going to continue with these amazing Film Noir style images. Over the short time I have had being able to create some work which I believe looks pretty amazing I think it would be such a shame not to try and create something more from it.

Confidence has always been something that I have lacked within myself and I don’t believe in myself as much as I should do. The Final major project has brought a bit of confidence out in me as I actually went and tried something new, which I am so proud of.

I did not change anything within the project from what I discussed in my project proposal, the only things what changed was on my final shoot I didn’t get my MUA as I was let down, however I over come this and did the best that I possibly could to ensure I still got the images that I new I wanted.

The best thing about this project was gaining new skills and feeling as if I have achieved something for my self for once,  I have actually been creative and thought out of the box, I am so pleased that using Film Noir as a project base I have now created some amazing images with lots of high contrast and detail.

The aim for me was to create some amazing work that I could be proud of to exhibit but also to start building a model based portfolio rather than just children and families what I have been sticking too. I deffinately think that the images I have created are portfolio standard and I cant wait to create some more Film Noir style work,

The FMP process was a struggle for me to be honest as I was not completely sure at first which path I wanted to go down, I did not know weather to go in to self portraiture, continue my product photography project or to try this Film Noir glam, Once I had finally came to the decision with help from people from my class I had already used a lot of time up with out realizing. Before I knew it I only had 3 weeks to organize and generate my practice shoots and then of corse the final images.
I have based most of the project on the images rather than the research simply because I was worried about how my images would turn out.


As a part of the college at the end of each year students get to broad cast there work in a exhibition which is amazing, let alone being able to create an exhibition in Solihull touchwood where loads of people can see it and partcipitate. I think that it is super beneficial to create an end of year exhibition to show case the amazing work that you have produced that year but to also network with other artists if possible.
