We were all asked to make an appointment to see either Sharon or Chris for feedback and our grade for the last semester. I booked in with Chris. I received a 2.1 grade. Chris said that he liked my enthusiasm and the personal inclusions in my blog. He said that I did really well for my first project. However he did say I just needed to work on my technical skills a little more and my editing skills as my photo's were either over exposed or under exposed. He said that this is something I will get with practise and something I will pick up by engaging in outside practise.
I definitely agree. I feel that I need to practise different lighting techniques and get to know the different camera settings more. I feel that this will improve the more as I practise more and play around and experiment with different techniques. Chris also said that my recording of some of the technical terms we learned in class were written down incorrectly so I will will bring in my voice recorder to class to make sure I have a record of the correct terms. I managed to buy my own camera (canon 700d) over Christmas which will be great for outside shoots and practise at home. It will also mean that I don't have to worry about cameras not being available at the hub. I didn't experience this last term but I feel this is always a possibility so its useful for this type of problem. I really want to learn about lighting with photography and really get to know my camera. I want to be able to get more comfortable at problem solving on shoots.
Im really happy with my feedback I think it was fair and encouraging. Its not always nice hearing constructive criticism but I know and accept that this will help me grow and develop me as an artist and photographer. I feel that I understand a little more about what is expected of me as a student and I feel excited for the next semester. I put a lot of pressure on myself last semester so this semester I want to take a different approach and really take it all in. I really want to learn and so I really appreciate the feedback.
