Our last workshop this week gave us time to work on the piece of audio, and then receive feedback at the end of the lesson. It was good to get back together with group members and talk again about what we were up to with things. Meeting up and organising things online is effective to an extent but in class time, with others completing similar projects, their feedback is also helpful.
The feedback we got from ours was extremely useful in trying to work out where our piece should go next. It took the group a little while to focus on one specific aspect of fandom and attention, so deciding on how it was going to go also took longer. We were told that one of the decisions was a little bit jarring and difficult to follow, which I think, as a group, we all agreed on. Changing this opened up new possibilities for our project. We still plan to add in the audio that we used, but just use it in a different way that is easier to listen to.
I think the best part about the feedback was understanding what other people enjoyed about the 1 minute piece of audio we presented. The bits that they enjoyed were parts that we are able to extend on and keep working at to further better our piece. Not only did industry practitioners give good feedback on what they liked, but other classmates gave constructive feedback, that motivated me to want to keep working and bettering our piece.
Listening to other’s one minute pieces was also really enjoyable. Everyone seems to have taken a really unique approach to the task, and I’d be interested in knowing how some of their final products turn out.
