Problems that have occurred and Schedule

I have tried to document all the problems I've come across along the way, such as falling ill and having to scale down my website.  As well as test shooting and finding problems with lighting and the general shoot not going well.

However, I had planned a photographer for a photoshoot on Tuesday 26th April and she unfortunately had to cancel.  I normally do all the photography myself as I do not like to be let down by people, however, I was the model for this photoshoot.  I panicked at first as I knew everyone would be so busy around this time with their own work.  Then I remembered I had modelled for someone a few weeks ago, and she said if I ever needed her help she would do it.  I instantly text her and explained the situation, she said she was free that day which put my mind at ease.

Reflecting on my past few years at University, I do wish I had made more connections with some photographers and models.  I feel this would have helped with my trust issue of people letting me down for photoshoots as I have also been let down in the past.  From this experience, I have definitely learnt to collaborate with people and keep in touch.  Even if it's to drop a message to ask how they are or if they had worked on anything cool or interesting recently.

This was my original time schedule

I have definitely not stuck to this time frame. Here is my new schedule for the last few weeks.

18/04/16  - 3 photoshoots, editing and blog work

25/04/16 - last photoshoot, final editing, finalising website and blog work

02/05/16 - finishing website, evaluation and hand in.

I try not to leave everything to the last minute, and I have definitely got better at time management than first year.  It's not perfect and I do need to work on it but I have definitely learnt from leaving everything until the week of hand in.
