Yesterday we had our presentation with Mike, John and Ian. Unfortunately we didn't realise the presentation would be as formal as it was so our actual presentation skills left much to be desired.
I think the tutors were overall pleased with our 'Hidden' theme and covering objects in dust. We explained that we wanted our chosen objects to look as though the had been lost. The had once belonged to someone and had now been left to the elements.
Mike commented that some of the images 'worked' whilst others looked that they belonged in a 'nuclear winter' scene! Also we were informed that our images would be more effective if there was a narrative. The way I interperated this was that basically in one image we'd have all of our objects covered in dust and in another we have the same image with something missing, etc.
Overall I was pleased with our feedback from the presentation. Although it was painful presenting due to our poor preparation and having to improvise I believe that listening to the feedback from Mike about what was good/bad was incredibly helpful.
We need to be aware of our poses, what we talk about, visual examples of our inspirations, 'selling our idea' to the audience rather than talking as though we were in a crit, etc.
