Week 9 (Pitch)

Week 9 was the pitch for our projects. Because I was very unwell, I was not able to do the presentation in person and unfortunately could not receive extra feedback. My idea to do ‘what’s in her bag’ was generally well received by my tutor. I think the main thing I was worried about, which I wasn’t really sure how I was going to do, was the editing part of my project. I was reassured in my feedback that it would be a good challenge and something I should take on. In terms of what programs I would use for the project, I was sure I was going to use Photoshop, otherwise, I was quite clueless. The project, as pointed out in the feedback, was largely inspired by gender, fashion and contemporary consumerism and I would like to think that the project displays that. I intentionally did not want to include men in the project, because I think it took away from the point I was trying to make on stereotyping and sexism in 2000s magazines. The feedback really inspired me to rather than putting a girl’s name on the bag, I would stereotype each girl’s persona based on the contents of their bags. The images I found for my pitch, remained the most important inspiration for me throughout my production.
