Pitch week

This week was pitch week. I had to present my project so far to some of my peers, one other fourth year, two third years and two lecturers.
This takes up the week, and my pitch days were Tuesday and Wednesday. On the Tuesday we listened too the third years and how they are getting on so far with their respective modules and their plans for the forth coming weeks and gave feedback. The Wednesday was my turn to pitch my project so far.

The pitch started off well and I felt like I was getting my ideas across well, not quite sure what happened, maybe a lack of preparation but it certainly could have went better. However I don't feel my ideas were fairly listened to without severe critique of them at this stage, especially being just the pitch. Last years pitch and crit week was very informal and the fourth years presented their works in a manner where we just had an open discussion as to their potential research question.

I had slightly more prepared than this, few small pages of bullet points to run through, and for the first ten mins or so I just chatted about my research subject then I was interrupted and lost my placing, looking at my notes led to confusing myself and then we just discussed my project as a whole. Unfortunately I didn't take much from this session, quite the opposite leading me to re-thinking my whole project approach and topic. I am really interested in this area however and want to continue along this road.

The only ting I did take was to think more about the critical framework and the rationale more, and what underpins my project as a whole, other than that not too much else apart from being quite deflated. Maybe more time and reflection I'll think differently.

I have now re-worked my question after further reflection from the pitch session to more the investigation of sound and narrative. How does it drive it forward and how I will research it and the rationale behind it.
