The feedback I received from my presentation was very positive. I feel that the panellists were really engaged with the topic I had chosen and they all gave me constructive comments, which helped me in rethinking a few aspects of my project. My ideas had been indecisive and complicated and the presentation feedback allowed me to focus in on what I actually wanted to communicate through my media artefact.
Wendy asked me whether I had through about including home gardening in my piece, or if I was only focusing on large-scale agriculture. I hadn’t given the idea much thought until that point, but it urged me to want to explore the idea of grassroots food productivity on an individual level. Amy recommended several resources that I could use to draw insight from. After the presentation I looked into the material and found some of the information incredibly useful, especially around alternate approaches to communicating my topic.
Elizabeth provided peer feedback for my presentation and it was incredibly helpful to hear her thoughts. Elizabeth provided some information about websites where I could find free and stock images, citing Pexels as an appropriate resource. She also recognised that the task of locating the right images sounds like a long and tedious process and suggested that I should start collecting and researching materials as soon as possible. I received this feedback gratefully, and I was especially thankful for Elizabeth recognising that I was trying to address the topic through an experimental lens. Her feedback concluded with, ‘I think that it gives you a great chance to subvert the traditional chronological portrayals of this industry. Utilising not only what is in the frame but how the piece is shown is another alternative way to portray your message’.
