Weekly Review 1

Weekly Review: I am writing this week’s review on Tuesday, May 16th. I have taken the last few days to recover from my surgery and will begin working again tomorrow. This week flew by for me. For starters, I have enjoyed watching the film I started with. Football is something that I love and I enjoy talking about it, watching it, and researching it. I have only done one game so far, but I am planning on finishing a lot more games in the upcoming week as I am able to get back to work post-operation. 

I have also added another fun task I have been working on so far. When I talked to my mentor Ben Rulli, we discussed also attempting to create Canva designs for edits for the football team that could be used for the upcoming season. I have been looking into it a lot on many professional teams, and have begun to attempt to create these for Proctor Football as well. Though I am not very familiar with designing these types of edits, I am getting better and hope to have one or two ready to show people at Express Fest!

For the past few days, I have been recovering from my second ACL surgery. It is always a super long process, as driving to New York is a ten-hour round trip to start. The surgery took around three hours to complete, and my knee is now the size of my head. I only had to take one serious pain medication throughout the entire process, but have been feeling sick recently which is most likely due to the anesthesia and other medications I took during and after the surgery. Overall I am excited to get back to work and have a lot to show all my viewers at Express Fest!

Day 3

  Day Three 6:30 Pm: I woke up at 9 again today. I began working at around 9:15 as I ate breakfast as I worked. I wanted to look at some other designs people in the football world used. So I scrolled through Twitter accounts such as Notre Dame’s Football page, Alabama’s Football page, and the New York Giants football page. Many of their designs were pretty simple and I took a few pointers from their designs. I also think they use a much better app them Canva, but I am going to just stick it out with Canva. I researched and worked on my design for about three hours before I went in for lunch. After lunch, I watched some film and got around halfway through the first game. It is taking me a long time right now, but I hope to get faster the more I do it. Overall, I worked from 9:15 to around 12:30, and then from 1 to around 3:45. A total of around 6 hours of work.

Day 11

  Day Eleven 1:30 PM: Today I began working right when I woke up at 9 AM. I wanted to finalize both designs on Canva. I also wanted to make one or two more designs using the skills I had learned. Canva is hard to use, as it makes posting your design complex. I worked on finalizing these designs for about three hours. From around 9-12. This completed the hours I needed and I could work on the slideshow. As well as the three-page paper for the rest of the day until I needed to return to Proctor. This brought my total hour count to 51 hours. Added to the 24 hours I missed due to surgery, I now have all 75 hours completed!

Day 1

  Day 1, 3:30 PM : I began my day by waking up at around 8:15. I was showered and done eating by 8:45, and was ready to begin my senior project for the first time. I began by texting and scheduling my meeting with my mentor Ben Rulli. It was going to be at around lunchtime and I had some free time to begin researching how to watch and study film properly. I took some notes from a number of youtube channels and professionals. Whose job was to review prospects and watch how they broke down film. I did this for almost two hours before Rulli was able to call me. We then talked for around an hour before I took my lunch break. Then, with the new information and access to film provided by Rulli. I was able to begin planning my film study. I organized the film into different games and organized a key to help me determine plays and formation. I did a preview of the film of our first game before I had to log off for the day to go to our varsity lacrosse game. I worked a total of around 6 hours t
