Miss Havisham & Estella Assessment Evaluation

Overall I am pleased with how this term has gone and with my assessments, I felt that I tried my best on both occasions and produced work to a good standard. It was interesting for me to work on a project that isn’t fashion based and I really enjoyed it, from learning about the novel ‘Great Expectations’ to how the Victorians loved their ghost stories. I enjoyed researching about Victorian life and how different it was from any other era, making it so interesting to learn about. I found that learning about Memento Mori was the most interesting aspect, how the Victorians clung onto something of their loved ones and carried it around with them, they seemed like they respected death in a very different way to any other time period, this may have been because of the high death rate but it still caught my attention how Gothic orientated they were. I feel that I have been more successful with this term as I have made sure that I have been doing more in-depth research and therefore able to write bigger and more in detail blog posts. At first I found the design of both assessments difficult but after research and talking to some of my tutors I found that I shouldn’t make my design too intricate as the first part was based on continuity and I would have to create the same look again, therefore it would be easier to create a more simple design helping me to achieve my highest standard of work. I found that being able to choose our partners this time as well was much better, I felt that I could rely on my partner to turn up with her whole kit and we were both able to communicate to make sure we both were happy with the assessments. Overall I have really enjoyed learned about Special affects makeup as this part of the unit and feel that it will be useful for me when I’m out in the industry.
