What you need when presenting work

Pictures:

Ensure the shots are interesting and eye catching.

Vocabulary:

Ensure the vocabulary that you use is clear and that the audience can understand it.

Plan:

If you are to present your work to your group. Make a plan of action that you can follow to ensure it goes smoothly.

Sizing:

Make sure that the images you are presenting at a considerable size so that the audience can see.

Space:

You will need to consider space when presenting work, like for an exhibition, you would need to think about things Such as:

Where will the display board go?
How much space for the guests to walk around between each display?
How will you present each piece on its chosen placement?
What and where will information be on each piece?

Measurements

Again, for an exhibition presentation, you need to think of:

Frame sizes
Display Wall Sizes
Walkway Sizing (Where the guests walk to view)

Time Planning

When it comes to presenting work, you need to think about the time span you have from completion and presenting. You need to prioritise on what to work on at a set time. Are you going to work on your descriptions or your framing? Are you going to do a shoot or are you going to edit?

Time planning will help to think ahead in the future so you don't have to battle these questions.

Meeting Deadlines

If you are doing work for an exhibition, you need to consider how you are going to meet a deadline before said exhibition. This is where time planning really starts to make it effect. If you follow a set time plan you ill end up reaching your deadline in time for your exhibition.

Cost of materials

Say again, you are preparing for an exhibition. You are going to need to consider cost of materials, Food, Entertainment and location

You will need to sort out a budget in which to follow. Say you have a budget of £5,000

You will need to sort out how you will pay for:

Location: where will the exhibition be hosted?
Food&Drink: What will the guests eat and drink?
Materials: What will you use to present the work on their displays? How much will the display walls themselves cost?
Entertainment: Will there be music?

Where can you hold an exhibition

Silbury campus is a Milton Keynes college campus in which you are able to do an exhibition. The central area in which i have provided an image for would be suitable due to the open space and the lighting.

Plan your exhibition

Where the green box is, I would set up display walls, running down all along side the floor straight through the middle. to which then framed pieces will be placed.

Where the red boxes are, i would remove the furniture and place more display walls, but cuboid ones. So they will stand, like columns and on each face of the column, a framed image will be displayed.

Exhibition Blurb

What is mental health to you?

How do you perceive your way of viewing a way an individual feel?

Mental Health is a key factor to the human way.

Everybody perceives it differently and battles it in their own ways.

Let me show you how I expressed mental health in my perception through my work.

My work defines what i feel it's like for individuals who are in battle with their own minds.

Who might be interested in your work and why?

It is hard to determine on who will be interested in my work as it varies. I don't like focusing on one topic of work. i like to experiment and expand on my work and try new things, which is why I cant pick a chosen photography type. I really like city photography, like skylines and street level shots, But i am not exclusive to that. So different types of people could be interested into different parts of my work depending on what type of work i have already created. I may start a new type of work which interests a whole new type of crowd.

The 2018 youth competitions brief is:

"Your Environment"

This work here is an abandoned car park in Milton Keynes. The model in which who is double exposed with the photo is my friend. I took the two images and made a double exposure of the two, as if the model is looking down the leading lines of the old car park road. I liked this image which i made and i have marked it for my entry as it is my environment from the city in which i live.

Dont's

Ask Questions - Its good to ask your employer questions as it shows you have interest in the job and that you are eager to learn.

Don't be negative - Don't be negative about any previous employer, supervisor, manager as this can affect how the employer will see you as a team player.
Bend the truth - Don't be tempted to over-exaggerate the truth to much as this can make an employer question your characteristics and suitability for the position
Be late (or to early) - You don't want to be late for an interview as this shows bad time keeping and lack of interest. You don't want to be to early either as this could raise question on your time management skills also.
forget to use common sense - Don't dress to casually for an interview as this shows lack of interest for the position (unless its a company that doesn't value such traditions. If the interview is hosted at a restaurant, don't order an alcohol or a starter that isn't graceful to eat.
