48 Hour Challenge....DUM DUM DUMMMMMM

Today Jools has put us in groups which I assume is the same one I will be working in for my group project on Nottingham Makes. This is a test to see how we work within a team and working with new people from outside the Fda Course. The challenge set to us was to see if we could produce a video that would explain the rules of cricket to children aged nine to ten.

For me this great because I am a fan of cricket anyway but the hard part was thinking of a way of showing kids how to play it. The game of cricket has so many rules explaining it to children without it being boring would of been near on impossible. So as a group we sat and discussed what we thought would be the best way of showing a game of cricket without being boring. So we went with kwik cricket which is a fun way for all players to get involved with the game.

The best way of showing this would be filming a small game of how to play it. We want to avoid lots of speaking because we want to keep the game engaging and encourage the kids to actually play the game. The first part of the process was getting a kit which would include a bat, ball and bails and stumps. Once we had that it was a case of getting my kit and going out and filming the whole thing. Because we only have 48 hours to do this I wanted to make sure that at least some of the filming was done tonight to make sure we can finish off and that is what we did.

Tomorrow it is about finishing the filming off to allow the time to edit the video together to hand in wednesday.

Third Year Start

As part of my first week back at Trent I had the challenge of showing my creative work life so far in thirty seconds. For my I found this a challenge because being honest I didn't really know how to tell my story without talking about it? Part of the challenge was to explain myself to someone who did not know me at all. My strengths? weaknesses? and showcasing some of my work.

Having a short amount of time to do this as well meant I had to look back at everything I had done so far. So because I had to explain without telling my story I decided to take pictures to explain myself. So I found a variety of pictures to do with strengths and and weakness and let that build up a overall picture of me. Including this I put some videos from work I have done and this would be used to explain everything about myself.

With this is as a first challenge to come back it was quite a challenge and shows to myself that I need to work a lot harder this year to accomplish what I wanted to do when I come to university in the first place. Personally with my work I always think I have had to prove to myself I can do it.

In terms of next week hopefully I will get a better understanding of the course and what is going to be expected of me for the next nine months.
