I thought I should reflect (given that reflection and critique are some of my goals for this blog) a bit on my first assessment. The process of completing the assessment was very smooth. I’d say that was the thing I did best. Upon reviewing the video, i’d say there are a few things I could have done better, or at least a few choices that could have improved it.

I had chosen to film a body, and hands more specifically, given that wallets are normally associated with being a personal belonging. The audio suggests that a wallet is as much a part of our bodies than any other limb, so i suppose it also fits in that sense.  This choice was more of an instinct, it wasn’t something I necessarily calculated, or even chose to explore further. In hindsight, this is probably an idea I could have explored further. e.g Show different people’s bodies, closer detail of body parts (not just hands)

I suppose in the end the footage does fit the audio. But it is linked in a way which has a very linear association, which i’m not sure is a good or a bad thing. I feel like it is a very ‘surface level’ link, but a link none-the-less.

It will be good to hear what other people think, and to see how other people handled the prompt tomorrow.
