Research Analysis• What common features do the researched products have?

– One common feature which is used though out all the four images are that all the image have been taken with a wide angle camera lens. This has been done because when taking a panoramic photo it is a lot easier if more of the landscape is captured in one image so when you attach the images together when editing you will not have to use more than about four photographs.

– One more common feature that is used in the researched photos from after the 1990’s have all ben turned in to a stereographic image. This done to create a small tiny world look to the panoramic photograph which gives it a better effect. This can be done with any panoramic photo, you first insert the photo in to Photoshop and add then add the stereographic image effect to create you own tiny world panoramic image.

• What aspects of the research will you include within your on work?– In my own work I will first take a panoramic photograph, ill do this by choosing a place in

which will make a good landscape photograph and take several photos all in the same angle and position. I will then paste the photos in to Photoshop and turn all the images into on panoramic picture. After doing this process I will use will turn the photo in to a stereographic image making the picture look like a tiny world.

Research Evaluation

Research Evaluation– Product Research

• One strength of how I performed my product research is that I went in to a lot of detail when describing each individual image which i think will be able to help me when I look back at the product research to help my edit my photograph.

• One weakness of my product research is that is does include a wide range of different photos. This mean if I decide to change my idea I wont have any research to help me edit the photo.

– Questionnaires• One strength of using this method of research is that it allows me to collect a lot of

other people opinions. This can help me to improve any ideas I have for editing my photo or taking my photo.

• One weakness of the research method is that th feedback which I can collect is not detailed so I can only get an idea on how to make my photo more appealing to the audience.

– Interviews• One strength of using this method is that I get one to one questioning with the audience to

see what they are looking for. I can then apply this to my work so that the audience are more likely to enjoy my photos because they will have have feedback before they get published.

• One weakness for this type of research is that it can turn out to be time consuming, this is because when you are talking to some one you may start to ask them more question as planned and take to long

Research Evaluation– What sort of a response did you get?

• I mostly got a positive responses from everyone, I also got some very helpful details such as what people would like to see in photographs I also gathered information on where to post my photos after they have been produced to get the best feedback and how to improve my photos for next time. Also from analysing the feedback from the survey I can tell that someone people will not like the types of photos I produce however with everything any one brings out some people will not like it. Although I will try my hardest so that a higher number o people well like my photos.

– How did you distribute your survey? Give an advantage and a disadvantage• To distribute my survey I emailed it is people close to me, and people in my class.

This aloud me collect a very wide range of opinions, so I could make my photos to the best of there standard. One advantage of doing this ia that people in my class al have very different opinions so I was not collecting a biased opinion on photography. One disadvantage of handing around my survey is that some of my friends will not have taken the survey as seriously as I would have wanted and didn’t answer the questions honestly.
