Today in class we were taken back to those happy-go-lucky times in primary school where the only things we worried about was if our Faber Castell connector pens were in the right order, if we remembered to bring our hats to avoid that evil, “No Hat No Play” rule and finally, those colourful Dr Edward De Bono’s Six Thinking Hats.

Here’s a link which summarises each hat for those who have either forgotten or have not yet been introduced to such a phenomenon:

In groups, we went around and shared our lo-fi self portrait media pieces and received feedback from different people.
One of the ‘yellow-hat’ thoughts I received was that with my audio recording, a vivid image of what was happening and the surroundings could easily be pictured, and that the photos showed a clear representation of my character.
A small ‘black-hat’ feedback was with the audio recording, I have a snippet of a song in the beginning, which may cause copyright issues. This I will remove.

Getting compliments aswell as constructive criticism from peers was affective in helping me with my second step, editing, removing, adding and then creating a one minute video for my Media Self-Portrait Project Brief 2, where I add all my different components into one footage.

This is currently under construction.
