What is good? Presentation

Wednesday 22nd Studio Workshop

We were asked to produce a list of twenty subjects that we as a small group all agreed on what we thought was good, with a small justification next to it.

The next step was to swap lists with an other group and argue why they are bad. This was humerous as anything really could be classed as bad for example.

Manchester - We argued that 6 out of 10 people were drug dealers.

It was really good and an inspiration for me as when I reflect at my work from the previous year I thought that my work was serious and informative but I wanted to start to have more fun with my work.

Maybe for bees look at the bad for the humorous- Being stung?

"Your wallets just been stung" meaning the value of pollination of bees is worth around £400 million so that means that the wages will be higher and the products cost more!

Presentation 22nd September

What is good? Summer brief presentation.

Over the summer this was constantly on my mind as from the first year I will admit I am not the most confident person presenting in front of people. However I thought it was going to be in front of the whole class, luckily it was to another nine people which made me more relaxed.

I think that spending alot of time thinking and researching in depth really help the confidence when presenting because I had learnt my subjects like the back of my hand.

The five things I choose to present were;

1. Bees - because of their importance of pollination

2. Co-Operative - after watching the dispatches documentary on Coca Cola I wanted to look at a big chain of stores based around good ethics

3. Shane Meadows - Lived in Nottingham when he was twenty, and the cultural references in his films

4. Original Source - When in the shower noticed how good it is. Last one as well.

5. Space Elevator - I choose this because it's not built yet and it would be a huge milestone in space exploration. I also had space and exploration in my initial ideas and it was good to link them together.

Overall my presentation feedback was really good, probably the best I've heard since starting at Leeds. The presentation was honest and well researched which really helped.

However my five which I choose were subjects I learnt over the summer and alot of everyone else's were things they liked. I think it's good to gain knowledge whitest researching but now I have to choose one of the five above to base several weeks on...
