Constructive Criticism
Today we presented our brief 3 work to the class before breaking off into groups to gain feedback. I received fairly good feedback in regards to my work, majority of it consisting of “I liked the way you used silence”, “you used silence really well” and “it was very effective”. That was interesting feedback as I was so focused on creating a piece that ran as fluidly as possible and the audio/words making sense that I didn’t exactly put myself entirely in the shoes of someone who has never seen it before to presume how they’d react. Therefore I didn’t expect the silence to be such a prominent feature to the audience.
In year 12 I created a piece in studio art that consisted of a one continuous and seemingly unchanging shot that required presentation in a single empty room projected on a large wall in complete silence (including no audio). Therefore I found this connection interesting as I wonder if it’s just a coincidence or if its a subconscious creative decision that I naturally feel necessary…?
We were also given assignment four and the groups we will be working in. I’m with Liv and Matt who I’ve never met or spoken to before so I’m really excited to get to know them and also see how well I work creatively with others I haven’t had any sort of relation to before.
