The presentation went well in terms of ways in which I was able to explain skills I have acquired to apply to the final project, including slides about my experience in Widen and Kennedy, the BFI/BBC, along with stating clear inspirations I have in terms of poem artists and books to landscape photographers. I felt that this was important to include to provide context behind my work and where my ideas and skills to apply are coming from. Artists included consist of some I had used previously, e.g Connor Franta as part of developing over the year.
Elements to improve include target audience, the area of teenagers I said to aim at being 14-19, which could be more broad from the start teenage of 12. Further adjustments to be made which I will consider for future presentations is the length, the explanation of some slides being too long - main points could be cut to smaller, detailed sentences.
My presentation format followed the template consisting of questions about future professional ambitions, any other ideas I hold, what production is coming next for my final, etc. Following this template allowed/ gave me confidence to visually pick out appropriate photographs projecting my idea in a way that makes most sense to my audience. A crucial aspect being as clear as possible for your audience - 'the audience can be slow - if you do not understand your ideas or story line the audience also will not' learnt by Bradley Porter, mentor at the BFI Film Academy 2018. Personally developing on this, I feel that I understand my idea more through the process of talking aloud to an audience, making me more aware of what I am producing. Soft skills / presentation skills have been improved, through good feedback given from classmates after the presentation providing me with confidence, along with developed organisation skills technically adjusting photographs in Google Slides.
