Reflection/Evaluation

One of the problems I had during this unit was the fact that my story was so long. I worked continuously and really hard just to get it finished in time, because I not only had to write up the treatment and character profiles and locations etc. I was left with very little time to do the actual story board which was the most important and time consuming part. Another problem was the fact that I didn't get my draft until the day before the task was due, it was because I kept running out of time to go and get it but it was still my responsibility, it caused such a problem because there was so much I needed to change, there was very little time to change it, I couldn't properly change it because my storyboards were done and I also had to finish drawing the images in my storyboard on the same night.
My research on the Hero's journey made the creation of my story impossibly simple, I just followed them like guidelines factoring in my own elements and characters.
The activities we did helped me write my storyboards because I had no idea what sort of context we were supposed to put them in, how to use the arrows and what to write in my explanations.
During the project I learned some drawing tricks while I was making the storyboards, because I had to make so many pictures I just learned to skim over the details and focus on the important points which were explained in my storyboards.

I'm satisfied with the fact that I ended up finishing it, but if I'd had more time then I would have gone over it and fixed up the words and added more things to the typed version of my storyboards. I also would have made the drawings a bit better and more detailed.
I managed my time pretty well considering the amount of time, though I was just finishing everything at the last minute I'd actually done a lot more then I'd thought and it turned out that I had about five minutes worth of work left by the time I got home to do it. It was a great feeling because I'd been so stressed which was because I'd thought I'd managed my time badly.
I guess that I would like to change the amount of time given for each separate part of the assignment, the storyboards turned out to take up a huge amount of time but it was very close to the due date, a couple of weeks, when we got the time to do them, they needed so much more time than the treatment yet they had a lot less.
If I could start again I would create a story that didn't follow the Hero's Journey so it would be mush shorter, I would also make a story that was so deeply based on emotions and relationships because the limit on the length of the story gave me no time to convey it.
