I have never been any good at talking in front of groups of people, its my worst nightmare, the thought of it sometimes puts me into a state of anxiety.
Never the less I went along. we got split into two groups then partnered off. Our task for this crit was to tell our partner about our work and then they had to present it to the rest of the group. At this point alarm bells were ringing in my brain. But I couldn't run, I have to prove to myself that I can do it I can overcome my anxieties! I've done it once I can do it again.
So I told my partner about my project and where I was going with it, and he told me about his. I sat and listened as each pair talked about the other persons work, trying to keep myself calm and remembering to breath.
The time finally came for us to present each others work, My partner presented mine with few interjections from me as to what I was going to do, because he had forgotten what I had said or didn't fully understand it. And I then presented his...
At this point I was already trying to stop from shaking with nerves and keep my voice level, but on top of this, My partner hadn't really given me a lot to present, he had given me two photos to present and a bit of text that explained what it was about that was it, so I presented what I could and he took over and did the rest, The lecturer making notes on each of our presentations did acknowledge that it wasn't my fault.
This lecturer also made comments that I needed to add more research into my visual logbook that I can relate more of my shoots to.
These group crits are all part of the course and learning I understand why we have to do them but I would prefer to have not been separated from my friends because i feel more comfortable talking in front of them compared to other people I am not that close with, I guess its just all part of growing up!
Thank You for Reading,
