Critical reflection on practice

This video is useful for thinking about the critical reflection in regards to writing and structuring the PB4 report and aspects of your PB5 personal reflection summary. Key quote from the video:

“New interpretations of experience to inform practice…”

Notes from the video that can be used to structure a response to the prompt in the PB4 report:

Introduction
Context – local and global (the parts of the prompt ‘social media’, interactive documentary’, theory and practice examples)
Rationale framing the reflection on practice/the report (this refers to the prompt in some way).
Deconstruct the prompt and provide your perspective on where you think it coming from – within the context of this course and the media program, the research of the studio lead. Make connections back to the group research you did for project brief 1.

Evidence
How was the evidence collected? – through a process of engaging in practice and documenting the processes – the event and protoytpe aspects of the project (details of what? and how?)
Journey – timeline/narrative

Evaluation
Critical reflection
Analysis of main features of what took place
Strengths, successes, limitations
Outcomes – probable/possible

Conclusion
“Draw out implications for practice – how is it significant for you and others…?” i.e in this case media practice.
“reflect on the reflection…” “do the implications for practice arrived at make sense?”

Tips
Still provide evidence for your claims like a formal essay – i.e references
Do not speculate wildly without some evidence to back up your claims

Week 12 Presentation

Details for the final studio presentation to the gallery director/curator next week.

When is it happening?
Monday Oct 10 11.30-1.00.

What is the key aim of these group presentations?

The main aims of these presentations before the week 13 deadline are as follows:

a. Provide the curator with an insight into what might be expected as a submission to the gallery.

b. Provide the curator with ideas on how the work may be installed and work out what will need to be provided in advance to make that happen.

c. Use the opportunity to get feedback from the curator, studio lead and others to improve the work for gallery exhibition and assessment.

What is required for the Tuesday studio in week 11?

Use the Tuesday studio before next week to get feedback on how your presentation may be improved for assessment before presenting in week 12. This means pushing your presentation along as far as possible even if your k-film is still being built. This includes visuals of your installation idea.

What is the format?

The presentations will be 10 minutes long with 10 minutes feedback from the panel and studio.

Please note the presentations will need to run to time in regards to the bookings with panel guests.

The format for the presentations is open in regards to the use of slides and presentation tools, along with demonstrating your k-film prototype.

Groups will be expected to note feedback from the studio and use that inform the refinement of the final submitted work.

The final presentation and uploaded written presenter notes are to be submitted by Monday Oct 10 11.30-1.00. These notes will be placed in a shared (e.g. PB4 Group 1) folder.

Personal assessment checklists will need to be updated by all group members with a link to the presenter notes/slides etc.
