I need to get onto the whole consistency thing when it comes to blogging but here is a post about our Media 1, week 2 practical.
Giving and receiving feedback was surprisingly challenging as my table was a quiet one. The “six thinking hats” method of feedback by de Bono allowed us to slip into different personas of critical thinking. However I did have trouble putting on the black hat without sounding like a negative nancy. I think my group had the most fun with the famous “green hat” as we enjoyed brainstorming creative alternatives to improve what was already there. The “red hat” to me was the easiest as I could just say how I felt straight away without fear of judgement. The six hats helped us avoid just saying “yea I liked it” or “well done mate.”
Later that session, we watched some clips of the self portrait assignment due in Week 4. It was really interesting to see such a diverse range of takes on how people wanted to portray themselves. I’ m still not sure what I want to do for my short clip but I’ll try to keep it simple and meaningful as Rachel advised.
