Mid unit Review

In response to my improvements for LO1, I am looking to expand my image making practice, and do want to experiment using medium format, as I think it could work well. We practised using the medium format cameras in a workshop a couple weeks ago so I feel more confident using equipment which I had never previously used. Although I may not use it in this particular project, I definitely will experiment in BA2a. For LO2, looking into painters and practitioners outside photography is something I know I need to do to further my research and add depth to my work. And my research into landscape photographers is limited, and needs broadening. 

LO3 considers experimentation and development of approach; my theme is developing and I have shot more landscapes in addition to ones which were available to be assessed; this is a classic example of not having everything to show and available to my assessors and was my error. My images show a clear link visually using colour from the very beginning, and although my subject has changed as my ideas have development, this has remained consistent. To make this clearer to assessors I shall write about it more clearly. I was aware that some of my most recent research was lacking clear annotations and these were marked as such; time keeping in the run up to mid unit review was key so that everything was finished for assessment, I aim to improve this next time.

I didn't feel this review to be as helpful as I wanted it to be; nothing in my feedback was a shock and it was improvements which I had already given myself when looking over my own work. I personally find the assessing aspect of the mid unit review far more helpful, as it gives you an insight into how everyone else is working on their project and the hundreds of different ways we can approach the same brief, I always feel inspired after seeing other peoples work and motivated to do better in my own. (I have always been rather competitive)
