Reflection on FMP

Does your finished product reflect what you originally set out to do?

I think my finished product is what I set out to do, The cover and story all came out the way I wanted it come, The story changed in some of the chapter but mostly it was what I originally wanted to be. Sure I had to change small things like the cover but I am really happy how it came out even better then what I had first thought of.

What did you struggle with? - be honest and specific.

The cover was a struggle doing. Mostly because I needed to change the day time picture into a night time which actually wasn't that bad, it was the little things like the pentagram and the blood. That was definitely a lot of trouble because making the background darker meant the blood and pentagram went a lot dark and almost impossible to see so what I had to do was find ways on making those two bright and more notice because it has a place in the story so I do need people to see it, plus it makes the cover more spooky. Another was every time I try to make the photo brighter the night sky pictures come through onto Conna skin, luckily I found away to get rid of the black sky from Conna's and make the photo a bit more brighter so that when I print it out it won't look so dark.

What did you enjoy and why?

I've really enjoyed writing the story, I love writing stories It's always been something I really enjoy it and I like it even more because it's more of an original story then fan fiction so even thought there was still a theme I still got to write it more on what I like and knew about as well as including the 21st century along with it.   

What could you improve on and how?

I think the cover I could have improved on. I think it would have been better if I took the picture the first Saturday that we started to the FMP, that way I could have had more time. Another is when I was taking pictures I only took canvas and not portrait so that was one of the trouble with the cover because it was too big and when I did try and turn it into a portrait on photoshop it didn't look right. So next time I would try and take some portrait photos as well. I would a lot tried to have took some at night time.

If you were to do this project again/had more time and resources what might would you do differently?

I think I would have tried to add on more chapters if I had more time and I would have tried to have taken more photos's maybe at night time cause if I had more time me and my cousin could have arrange a time to do it. If I could do the project again I might have change the story, still keeping with the paranormal theme but change it differently like ghost hunting because 21st century has more ghost equipment now then then. 

Are you happy with the final product?

From what I have I am happy with my final product. I think the story has came out well the cover maybe could have been better but I am pleased with how it came out.

Are all of the above combined in a blog post?

I have written all in blogs, like the photoshoot with the book cover
