Darn, I forgot to post this until today. Whoops!
While I’m very happy about the fact that we managed to finish our presentation within 10 minutes because that was our main goal, I can’t help but lament on how I missed touching on a few points. This being our first presentation, I was actually using it as a way to test a different way of presenting from how I would usually present. Usually I would prepare a script to read off of during the presentation, but this time I wanted to see how I would do if I just remembered the main points and go off on that. I guess it’s a combination of nervousness and lack of preparation because in the end I did miss explaining a few points since my mind would very briefly go blank. One example: I forgot to further explain how the timelapse video I made wasn’t effective. It’s because, in my opinion, there’s nothing of value to watch in it. If I had shot it while it transitioned from day to night, it would be more interesting to watch how the scene changes. That’s what I meant by an “effective” timelapse.
Well, no use regretting over it now, it did make me learn that I should bring a note full of those points or something. The only problem is, I would most likely take a glance at it and go into a pause to try to collect together my thoughts. *sigh* Hopefully I’ll get better at it.
About where we’re going with Project Three. It’s pretty obvious that most of the sketches James and I did focused a lot on techniques, rather than on form. So for our next project, maybe we will somehow find a way to use those techniques to create a new form.
