This week has been one a great struggle for myself personally. If I'm being honest I have struggled to get back into the routine of doing my work and getting a good nights sleep. Personally this has been something that has effected my first two years at university anyway and sometimes it is something that I have perhaps brushed under the carpet a little and hoped it was something that would go away.
With this being my third year and final year I want to make sure that I can form some kind of routine that will help with my work not just at uni but outside and personal activities. In a few weeks I will be doing some filming and hopefully this will help things click for me but now I have booked myself a session with a student mentor and hopefully this will give me some help with getting a timetable or routine.
Once I have done this it will hopefully help me get back into a routine and help me focus more on my work. Even though this week I have been distracted I have still help start an idea for my group project on the Nottingham Makes

48 Hour Challenge....Conclusion
Today was the conclusion and presentation of our 48 hour cricket challenge. For me I was happy with the outcome of the video even though looking back there was certain things that I would do different. With this being third year I need to say something if i feel unhappy with a certain shot or idea as this will be the best way of me growing into the practitioner I want to be. Saying that the last two days has been a great way of helping my creative mind and hopefully now I can carry this onto the following few weeks at university.
Watching some of the other videos made me think if only we had perhaps a few more days on this challenge and how potentially good our video could of been. On the project I have worked with two new people on the course and I have got on well with them and has shown to myself that I have the potential to develop a lot more this year in terms on being in charge of certain things. Looking back at some of my placement work I have relied on other people sometimes but with this I took charge in getting things filmed without worrying about the quality of my work and this helped me feel a lot more relaxed about my work. It also made giving out team roles a lot more easier.
Our idea for the video was to make a video that would keep the audience engaged. With it being young children we want to make it fun. Micah had a problem with the video and the when it come to presenting the video we had to remove the audio which had got a lot of content which we needed but we feel the video we would present would be good. Jules and Danny felt we had a good start but felt that we went down hill a bit from there due to how we presented some of the shots such as when i demonstrated some shots in the middle of the wicket. But overall I felt that we got a positive feedback from the class as people felt it was fun and if i'm being honest I feel if we had got the audio micah had done it would of looked a lot better. Looking at some of the videos that people presented it was obvious that some people had not done enough research on the game and we had demonstrated the thought of just going with traditional test cricket but thought about going with a game which anyone could play even though our video at times didn't showcase this.
Hopefully this will be the same team I stay in for the group projects because I feel i could learn more about after effects from the people in my team. But it will be more then likely that I will have a new team for next weeks Made In Nottingham.
