When putting up the piece and projecting it onto white card, I got feedback from people that when I was sat still it looked like a photograph or painting and was quite surprising when I start moving in it. Also people said when they began to listen to the footage they were drawn in and wanted to carry on listening. These were all new comments to me, and I liked how from watching it on my laptop to portraying it in an exhibition changed the perception of the piece. When first watching the footage, I found it really uncomfortable and hard to watch, but looking back from that I like that, and I think it's quite brave of me to put that footage out in public, it has bizarrely made me feel more confident.
I left the footage raw and unedited at one hour, but did experiment with a 2 minute cut version. I didn't think it worked well at all, because what I was experimenting with was how I unfolded and acted in front of a camera, not necessarily the contrast between the two halves of footage.
In my Assessment I found that 5 minutes was not enough and I had so much more to talk about. I thought I spoke about my work clearly though and got some good feedback.
