...Also went quite well.
Very relieved to get positive all-round feedback, as I have been struggling for so long to come up with a topic that relates to my major project idea.
Itai's Feedback:
Good presentation. Good thought process. Good research. Gathered information is all valid.
Need to make a decision on what I want to write about - too many subjects in dissertation.
Preferred the second half of my presentation - regarding the authority of police uniforms and deindividuation.
If I decide to focus on "How authority is represented in Fashion Photography", it would be a good idea to look at contemporary American fashion photography as opposed to British, because I will find a better representation there.
Quite a lot to research for that topic, and might end up going over 8000 words, but this is not a concern.
Mark's Feedback:
Already got the questions on uniforms, and as soon as I start reading Uniforms Exposed By Jennifer Craik the contradictions that I have identified will be highlighted.
Kelly's Feedback:
From where I was 2 weeks ago I am doing really well.
My Reflection From The Feedback I Was Given:
Obviously I need to start reading much more academic sources, so that my direction/argument will become clear to me - Uniforms Exposed By Jennifer Craik, Language of Fashion By Roland Barthes, etc.
Need to make a decision on what area to focus on - think I will look at the Authority topic, as opposed to the Controversy topic, but I need to find out what route to take with it.

MAJOR PROJECT MID-TERM PRESENTATION...
...Went pretty well.
Itai's Feedback:
Main concern was the scale of the project - 15 different setups in different locations. Need to orchestrate it very carefully.
Would recommend shooting it on medium format digital (can borrow from LCF rental shop) or top end DSLR - to give me a safety net with the lack of budget I have.
Before I look at any influences or stylistic references I need to evaluate every frame - lighting (daylight/artificial), crew, model (who/how many models).
Shoot recce of locations for reference when I have my tutorial with Kelly.
Other concern was how contemporary I could make it, so it doesn't look like a 70's type editorial ie Helmut Newton - big machinery etc.
The images of Olga Kurylenko by Ellen Von Unwerth is trying to look like dated glamour photography.
Down to the styling and the ingredients in the frame to make it contemporary. Styling is extremely important, as is the type of girl and what she looks like.
Leila's Feedback:
Test the first 5 frames of my storyboard - know what I am shooting with, what lens to use, get the lights tested out (use my mates to test).
When I have done the first 5 frames, evaluate them and see if they (and the other 10) will be do-able in the time frame we have.
If not I may need to adapt the shoot to something more manageable.
Kelly's Feedback:
Team is a big aspect of the editorial, especially model. With 15 setups - will be lucky to shoot 2-3 in a day, so I need a team I can take out again and again.
My Reflection From The Feedback I Was Given:
Would be ideal to have an assistant for each shoot, to help with lighting, especially in the night-time shots.
Whatever route I choose to take the editorial, I need to identify it, and show through research why I want to do it that way.
Have back-up idea always ready in case the scale of a jailbreak scenario is too much. This will probably be my original idea of incorporating a plane: "Models day trip to France".
Start testing straight away, so that I can identify if the project is achievable as early as I can.
