My Powerpoint Slides are available here.

The presentation I was allocated to give feedback on was Ash’s presentation with his hyperobject focusing on Food Production. Food production is always one of those hyperobjects that contribute to climate change that not enough people focus on, myself included, so I think that it’s a great topic to look into.

I like how you situated your practice and experiences in tangent to your project idea. It demonstrates your knowledge and passion for the issue. From the sound of your presentation and your slides, it’s clear that you would prefer to use photography as your media format for this project. I like that you did look at the issue from all sides and address the possibility of a short video. However, you have a very solid idea for what you want to do with your photo essay so it’s clearly the way to go in this matter.

Your decision to use ‘amatuer shot only’ images for your photo essay is an interesting approach. Your reasoning and beliefs behind them support why so I’m curious to see how you work with this added constraint. A royalty-free site I often use to collect footage and images is the website Pexels but unfortunately, I don’t know how useful this will be as many of the images have a more professional edge to them but it is always worth looking into. You mentioned in your presentation that you plan to use google images to track back to useful websites. This also seems like a useful method if not a bit time consuming so id makes sure to start collecting images early to know what you want to plan out.

You are under some rather different constraints when it comes to using photography for your assessment since you are limited to what is in the frame. However, like the others that provided feedback, I think that it gives you a great chance to subvert the traditional chronological portrayals of this industry. Utilizing not only what is in the frame but how the piece is shown is another alternative way to portray your message.

Your presentation really showed off what you’re interested in doing for this project and outlined a clear plan to follow along with. You have a passionate interest in this topic so I have no doubt the final product will also reflect this. I wish you luck in the making and I can’t wait to see the final outcome!
