BOW ASSIGNMENT 5 REFLECTIONS ON FORMATIVE FEEDBACK

This was a video feedback session.

I described the journey that I’d taken after shooting and editing for assignment 5 which formed new series ‘rebirth and healing’. And from this how I had developed my final Body of Work portfolio, and a dummy book to showcase this work.

My Tutor focused and caused me to refocus on the work alone initially which has helped me to re edit the work for submission.

Since the feedback I have rethought the way that I will present the work for submission and have switched from a book dummy to a slideshow, this to simplify the presentation and allow the images to speak for themselves.

I have formed a list of action points below:

  • Review images for final portfolio: consider shape, tone, the amount that the woodland fills the frame, and consider whether some images are more suitable for a separate group of rebirth?
  • Decide whether to include the rebirth images or leave for SYP
  • Consider moving the woodlands ‘parts’ to the end of the work retain the borders and definitions.
  • Make slideshow to present my work, saving a more sophisticated book for presenting my work in SYP.
  • Experiment presenting images as full bleed on pages.
  • Use one couplet only on facing page of each photo and consider font size of poetry.
  • Remove captions from images and number the images on pages in small font in the corner.
  • Shorten introduction and divide into two parts, one commenting on the work and two, explaining the influences on myself.
