Blue – involvement in other workshops Purple – my workshop practice
As part of preparing for our leadership workshops, in our groups we had prepared what we were going to say about our chosen theme and pitched this to a small group of members. We received feedback on this to help for the final presentation of the workshop and overall independently improve on our feedback to develop our end goal of leadership skills. Our workshop plan had slightly changed with a new member of our group, Darcey. The information has therefore been split into three, myself still talking about the 3 lighting setup and technical sides of the cameras, with Darcey helping explain some features of the camera then showing her photography and explaining the aesthetics behind her photos. Kate, the other member of our group, further explaining stories behind photography and possible new ideas of how to edit in photoshop etc. The photographs and possible video of the 3 lighting setup will be presented on a powerpoint with pens and papers for the storyboard, potentially papers with storyboard templates. To improve for next week we should add the presentation and research on our different areas beforehand.
Whilst planning for our workshop, I had taken part in two other workshops with the leaders talking us through. I gained some knowledge and ideas when in these workshops, as they were successfully interactive, including a workshop for acting with an exercise that gets everyone moving and trusting each other, along with a drawing / painting exercise for a workshop following a production designer leader. As these were the first practice runs for both the workshops, extra work and improvement was required, for example, for the acting workshop the instructions as to how everyone should play the game could have been explained in a clearer way. In the art workshop, the leader could have included more reasoning as to why we were drawing a certain thing, or explain a few techniques with surprising facts behind them.
