There is nothing i hate more than showing people my work. Although i was happy with the final outcome of project brief 2, it was agonising watching others watch my own video. I hadn’t shown it to anyone before that class and i cringe watching it amongst others. I believe that some things are made to be shown to an audience, while others are made for oneself. This is definitely one of those occasions. Although this was a uni assessment and I had to show the class, a personal self portrait is the sort of thing I’m not happy to freely show around. Not only that but i found the quality and overall look of my video slightly crappy and unprofessional. The ‘Lo-Fi’ idea of the brief was probably taken to the extreme when it came to my video and it was hard to manage understanding the whole idea behind the 60 second clip. I’d much prefer to be showing a video or short film that i really invested a lot of time into, in terms of the aesthetics and overall look of. However the viewing experience I had from watching other peoples videos was actually really comforting, I realised a lot of people finding it difficult showing others their clip, even though the work was really well done. I fully understand the reasoning behind forcing us to present our work to others, as it enables criticism but also growth and acknowledgment of the positives. I’ve realised that I’m never fully aware of what is good or bad about my work, unless  someone gives me some kind of feedback or alternate view point. Its helpful getting a different perspective in order to change or alter certain elements. Before completing project brief 3 I’d like to show it to one or two people, in an effort to confirm that I’ve successfully delivered the message i wanted to my audience.
