Link to Final Project - The Politics of Image

Thanks everyone for all of the work you did, this project turned out better than I thought it would! Our idea was really fun and interesting to work with and after a full day and multiple hours of working together on this video, it's finally complete.
I think we were really able to learn a lot through this project and working together and I think our final research was really interesting to look at. All of those meetings together and working together really paid off, so shoutout to everyone who did put the effort into meeting and working together!

We asked people to vote based on first impressions and based on the four questions proposed:
1. "Who would you trust to look after your child?"
2. "Who voted Brexit?"
3. "Who belongs to the LGBTQ community?
4. "Who is an immigrant?"

This project looks at how public image affects our lives without us necessarily always being aware of it. With this topic, we wanted to take a closer look at how people judge and why they make the decisions that they make. When we think about being in the public eye, we have a different image of ourselves that we expect to be seen. Visual cues such as how we look, our gender, our weight, or our clothing are just a few of the many things that affect how people see us every day. Our aim was to get people to realise the judgements that they make on an everyday basis, whether they realise it or not. We thought that this subject was important to look at as it affects not only our personal lives, but also those around us. The politics of presentation is very important in a world where first impressions are ever important. Image and presentation affect job opportunities, personal relationships, and stranger interactions more than it should. We wanted to see how much one person could take from a single image without actually knowing the person.

Have a look and enjoy! (Link above text in green!)
