Unit 2 Evaluation



Write about how do you work under direction, independently and part of a team?



Working under direction 

I think i work well under direction as if i am told i need to do a task i do it for example when i was working on the sounds FXs i was told i need to make 20 SFX and then we were told to get on with it. Another example of when i worked under direction was when we made the trailers. I took a back seat in this and i just did every thing i was asked to do.

Working independently.


I believe that i work very well independently because i believe that when im by my self i get more work done because when im in a group i talk more than work. I worked independently on the editing of my movie trailer.

Working as part of a team.


When i am working as part of a team i am more of a person who will let someone else take the lead and i will do what i am asked. this is because i don't want to do anything wrong. Like i have said before i worked as part of a team during the filming of the trailer.


Next, about your skills in terms of creativity, ability to work accurately, meeting deadlines, use of equipment and materials.





How about your ability to share tasks, support other team members, meet deadlines and evaluate your peers

Lastly, state a range of suggestions on how and when you could improve your skills. eg through educational courses, work experience

Research Report


1. Explain what you have been researching and for what reason?

I have been researching into CD packaging and i have been looking into previous CD covers by EXAMPLE to find out what he has on his CD covers. I then looked into the conventions of a CD package so that i had more knowledge of what i needed to put on my own cover. I then chose one of examples cd covers and asked some people what they thought was the good and bad points of the cover. I then looked at some actual packages of cds to get a idea for my package. Once i had made my design i showed it to a focus group to see what they thought.

2. What were the findings from the research?

In my research i found out that on EXAMPLES cd covers he has a picture of him, his name and also the album name. and that they are normally very colourful. Whilst looking at the conventions i found out all of the normal things you would see on a cd package for example things like the Track List, Album Name, Record Label ect. When i looked into EXAMPLES “ I CREATED DISCO” cover i got a focus group to look at it and give me some feedback on what they thought was good and bad about the cover and i noted these down on my blog. I also looked into different types of packaging so that i could get some ideas of how my package will look.


3. How will these findings affect your idea?

All of this research will help me because i now know what should be on a CD package. the primary research also helped me because i know what people like and dislike about EXAMPLE’S previous work so i know what to do and also what not to do. This all came together to help me make a mental picture of what people liked and then i was able to replicate that in my work. The research i did into the packaging made me think that i needed to come up with a more intricate design because there wasn’t anything like that on the market.
