I received the feedback for this assignment and there are several things I need to bear in mind for the next assignment. I must try to be more creative and put more of my own ideas, thoughts and experiences into the images I produce. I also need to try and "roll up some of the previous assignment work into subsequent assignments."
I really need to research white balance and focus/metering modes. I definitely must become more confident and able to make technical choices.
My tutor commented that my accompanying notes were useful and gave a good overview of my ideas but now I need to take this a step further and explain any technical choices I make.
Rather than just include references I should start to say how I have been influenced by these people/places/photographs.
My tutor mentioned I should try and give files more meaningful names, my files are all dated and then each photograph is numbered, but at the moment I find it easier to work like this. I understand that changing how I file further down the line is not ideal but at the moment I find it easier to locate my images this way.
I will try and concentrate on building a story around my photographs when preparing for the next assignment and apply more of my own interpretation. It was pointed out that with future assignments I may struggle technically as my camera will put me at a disadvantage. I need to try and make up for this creatively with images that are important to myself as well as cover all techniques I have learnt throughout the course so far.
I had hoped when handing in this assignment that I had progressed further than I have but need to accept that this is a learning process and try not to feel so disappointed and take comments to heart when I receive constructive criticism. I just need to carry on applying myself and gain more understanding of the technical elements so that I will feel I have really improved when it comes to the next assignment.
