Evaluating the trial run

The trial run was very successful as it helped us solidify plans for the final project. We decided to take the photos against a plain background so the participants will not gather any inclinations that could inform their decision. However, we did decide to let the people in the image wear their own clothes as we felt that clothing is an important part of a person's overall image and that to strip that away would weaken the purpose of our project. Saying this, we did not want the sole focus to be on the clothing hence why we decided to only take the upper half of the body. From the trial run photographs we decided to allow them to choose whether they would like to smile in the image as we believed it was their prerogative how they choose to present themselves to the public. We also found that the crossing out was very effective in portraying the raw brutality of judgement.

We have also decided to film the intervention because we thought it would an efficient way of documenting displaying our findings as well as giving us the option of screening it and gathering people's feedback on our project.
