Feedback is a massive part of my progression as a photographer, I need to be able to give and take it. Throughout this project, I grasped every opportunity to get feedback on my progression at certain points, this enabled people to raise things that I may have missed or let slip. When I was looking at my video for any length of time, I started to become to used to it, I therefor couldn't notice certain aspects of my video needed attention. The feedback also helped me to gather relevant lines of research and through other peoples knowledge, I was able to take note and learn about different photographers who might be of use to me.
Feedback from Les especially helped me, with his knowledge and professional eye, I was able to see where I was going wrong and correct it or change this. One point in the project which changed my final view and video was when Les pointed out that my work had in fact become an actual documentary, similar to those you see on channel 4. This feedback was very interesting, I knew that that is the look the my video had formed and I embraced this and changed my view according to this. I then looked at the whole project in a different light, I was able to engage more with Phil and the interviewing process. This showed me how useful feedback can be.
Blogging my feedback was a great way to keep track of my progress.
