Blue – involvement in other workshops Purple – my workshop practice
As part of being a leader and practising the idea of leadership, I had taken part in my group members workshops including activities that got us all involved and included teamwork. The practice workshops I took part in last week, Day 13, including the acting and art workshop had been developed by the leaders, I therefore saw the progress the leaders made, and both had considered their feedback. The individuals of the workshop were more assertive, informative and organized ,meaning they had the correct traits of being good leaders. Being part of the workshops was overall interesting and engaging. . I had a example of how to carry out my workshop.
I had also listened to a few of my group members and given feedback. This included workshops with music practice, editing softwares, etc. I had taken part in an editing workshop, where we filmed and edited a few videos together in Premiere Pro.

Practising for my workshop included presenting our photography themed presentation to a small group of people with the rest of my group. What went well included the explanation of examples we has given in regards to our personal photography. I had lead the first part of the presentation where the technical sides of photography including the aperture of cameras, ISO and shutter speed was explained along with the environment of photography, this including the 3 point setup and natural light. Personal photography is added here, however I could explain the settings I used when I took the photo. This would add a real example of myself in the moment taking the photo. Darcey, a member of my group, explained her part of the presentation well with her examples of photography and contributed to informing everyone about photography. We also had the opportunity to use a Canon camera allowing us to demonstrate where the settings were typically found. Kate, another member of our group, had a slide to explain stories behind photos, however after finishing the presentation her part had been edited to present more information about how to edit therefore linking to the whole idea of photographs in post production. Examples of her edited work was therefore added to the powerpoint after the presentation. We has given out papers and pens for the storyboards and got everyone to take photos of a story they wanted to tell. We then asked the people to voice what they had done and explain, etc. Personally reflecting back, I feel the end of our presentation when interacting with everyone needs to be more sharp, as a leader, I could ask more questions to our audience as to what they’ve learnt about photography. The feedback we received included finishing off and possibly involving the audience more.
