Evaluation

• I chose to use the 'old wives tale' concept for my final outcome as I wanted to use my family within it to show how the tales are passed down in generations, my family as a representation of many other families. I thought that this was a good concept to look at as it is very intriguing as to how they come about and it flowed nicely with my other experiments and how I have looked at the study of people and getting to know different subject matter and how they work, for example my fashion myth post.


• I think that my final outcome went quite well as I finally able to set it to the scale wanted as well as including everything I wanted in it and I was also able to finish it within the specified time. My only problem was; how to change the video tape to DVD which in the end I asked someone who knew some people who was able to sort out the problem.


• The way the two boards touch to create 'old wives tale' of 'knock on wood' as well as the visual and conceptual links between the people speaking on the tape and the portrait of mothers on the opposite side. It was a very personal final outcome to me with the way I can relate to each of the people used within it with which I am now sharing through my final outcome. My family is the visual representation of many other families of which have passed down these mind-boggling tales.


• If I were to redo this whole project then I think that I would have probably stuck with the theme of landscapes and showing the 'form of god' through visual objects as from previous experience you cannot always rely on people to help with your project and many won't let you take their photo or worry about how they will be percieved. I think it all depends on the type of person you ask, however you always learn from yor mistakes.


• In my opinion I don't think that I could have really done any more if I was given more time as I would have only been able to carry out a few more experiments but then again if I did have more time then I may have been able to conjure a better final outcome than what I have done but then again it could have been worse. I believe that you shouldn't look back on the past, 'don't cry over spilled milk', you should just move on. I am very happy with what I have completed and challenged my self to overcome within this project and so I am proud to be submitting this body of work to the exam board.
