Studio day 4
The pitching ideas
Oh today studio day consisted of basically speaking out my idea for my campaign and pitching for everyone in the studio which I didn't know I had to create a PowerPoint for unfortunately but despite not knowing that I had to create a PowerPoint or draw anything this is quite sudden and I had a bit of a general idea on what I was basing my topic on what I wanted to speak about and I think I did okay considering that factor. I wanted to write about this experience because it was quite a big thing for me because my confidence is here has been up-and-down and all over the place but it's not been brilliant and basically no one in this year at the time was going to picture idea unfortunately and they didn't have the courage to stand up and speak and so I felt quite bad that nobody would volunteer themselves so I said "I haven't got a solid idea as such but I've got something that I could perhaps mention" and I said go for it to me and she got everyone to pay a bit of an attention to what I was saying and Anne said "Saff's got one" and so I started off saying the following:
"My topic for my campaign into two choices out of mental health of poverty and I thought to myself that everyone is going to pick mental health and a lot of people will speak about it and therefore as much as it interests me as a psychological thing it's not something I would necessarily choose to base a project about as I know it will be a popular one and I want didn't want to frighten the sheep I wanted to find my own path and talk about something different and something I've never done before so I thought about going for poverty. And for that I wanted to talk about period poverty because I want to take a period property awareness further than just on the toilet cubicles and I wanted to be able to do something about this matter as a whole because women a lot of women go through periods and it's not an easy ride to go through and the fact is with the poverty side it can be much harder, it's something I feel needs addressing as at the end of day condoms are free in sex clinic send it why can't sanitary products are women be free on sex clinics in workplaces and places of education they just don't understand it really understand like supermarkets need to make the money on things but I don't get is why these for us need to cause so much and cause so many women to struggle"
I somehow Managed to speak out within about 10/15 minutes in front of my peers doing that was completely out of my comfort zone because it was a strong subject matter that I've only just started learning about by looking at such with looking at the statistics and facts and realising period property is a thing that needs to come out of the toilet cubicle and I thought it's a very different thing to what I normally do you are on and I wanted to learn and create different work to my normality and has actually speak about period poverty is quite a big thing for me because it's fairly new to me and I thought I'd get embarrassed because of it being a woman thing and it being something women go though and as a woman myself I thought it may embarrass me, because it's a natural thing and it made me question why am I talking about that sort of thing for, that isn't like me and that again is exactly why I chose to do this.
Said to me to stick with this idea and that is a good project brief to go along with which was something I didn't expect to hear because I thought after thinking about this subject matter for a few weeks I thought I didn't think people like this idea because of it being quite different and quite strong of a subject for women I didn't think this would be such a likeable subject matter but I was even wrong about that so it was interesting to hear and I'm glad that this idea could work.
Here is my feedback below:
