As usually I felt a little timid before presenting my work in the group crit. The worst thing I do is continually compare my work to everyone else's and internally freak out when it is so different, I can begin to feel like I am doing it all wrong. Also I hold the fear of it being taken wrong or not explaining it in a smooth good way.
The crit overall was super informative and gave me lots of ideas to help push my work further and develop it more. The main constructive criticism I got from my peers was to research the photo shoot aspect of my project further, which I agree completely would of helped push them further. Also they recommended that I look at a publication that I would fit my piece with. I need to definitely do this because it will help inspire my layouts and develop my knowledge of publications. One of my peers said that she thought that if I wrote an article to do with the topic it would be really interesting. I had started one but did not feel I had done enough research to make a full article. However they said that if I just wrote it how I explained it while presenting my work it would be good. It would be interesting, opinionated, and have personality. This idea to write the article how I explained my project to the group really helped me think about how to approach writing the article. Now I really want to write because I think that it would look really good paired with some of the photographs and layouts I've made.
I appreciated the positive feedback I received for my film. I was also very happy that people shared my humor and enjoyed it. It is always nice to get a reaction from your work weather it is laughter, tears, screams, or disgust.
