#feedbackreflection

The feedback I got from this reduction study was pretty positive! We talked about the changes I had made since the first run like the insertion of the traveling phrase, and the "not dropping" the hand at the very end. MiKayla felt that the traveling phrase pulled her too far stage left in her focus as an audience member. I think this issue may be alleviated if the piece included other dancers and wasn't a solo, but I can for sure understand her reasoning. Additionally, Haley was very happy with the ending change:)

Before receiving any feedback, I already knew that my first analysis lacked clarity despite having read the book and captured many ideas that were suggested by the text. When I read the feedback, I was not surprised that I started out with good ideas but that they became lost when reading my analysis. It was understandable, I say, because I felt lost doing the assignment myself. If I were to revise my analysis, I would clarify the difference between "servants, men," and etc. from the Tempest . This would allow the reader to know where I am heading with my analysis--that is, to explain if there is a pattern where servants seem to have more or less knowledge than those who would be considered higher-rank than them. In this play, the phrase that "Knowledge is power" is taken to the extreme as I tried to convey my idea that servants that obtained useful secrets would be able to use it to their advantage and try to achieve social mobility as we see Gonzalo using his knowledge as to when Prospero goes to bed, usually, in order to have  Sebastian kill him in order to be free from Prospero.

From the feedback I found there were a few things that I need to improve on in my next assignment. In my report I gave the wrong citing references which can easily be changed by looking and seeing how to reference correctly in the citing reference guide given to us by the university. Another point raised in the feedback was to use more images in the report, which i will do next time as they will help illustrate my ideas and concepts. A big issue that was shown in the feedback was my lack of following through with the ideas that i had proposed, in the future I will do more research into the ideas and provide a strategy to complete these ideas. The last point was to be more organised and manage my time better with tasks as these are skills that a video editor needs.
