My thoughts on finishing university during LockdownSo I have been studying a film degree and so far it has been a ambitious thrill ride from start to finish. I am at a point where I am about to hand in my last two assignments, one is my dissertation and the other is critical evaluation. The start of 2021 has been quite challenging because my classes had to be switched to online sessions which means that I was un able to accomplish some of my projects to the degree I visualised. It was only my practically assignments that was affected by lockdown, my work around planning my dissertation has been going well. In terms of my practical assignment I needed to complete a 5 mini series on a MMA fighters journey of who he is and how Covid has effected him during the pandemic. My original plan was to make one big 16 minute long documentary. I was going to interview him by asking questions like 'Who he is?' and 'What does he do?' then evolve the topic around his perspective on the sport itself. I was then going to film him training and mix the footages together under one montage spectacle. The problem is that the gyms closed down and I had no access to film him face to face. The new plan was to create a 5 mini series instead and to break them down into 3-9 minute parts allowing the audiences to specially understand his side of the story from multiple perspectives. For example one episode was about the adversities he has gone through, another was based around how Covid has effected his training sessions etc. This situation allowed me to be more creative on how I tell his story by using content he has sent me as well as making experimental art concepts to enable his opinions more visually. In the end I was quite happy how the series turned out and I can't wait to see his reaction when he sees all 5 episodes one by one. Lockdown has made it challenging for me but it as enabled me to learn and to grow in so many aspects, I feel like a new person. Even stronger. I know it is not me making this up because since I have seen family members, friends they can sense a brand new energy and vibrancy from my personality. I hope that anyone who is going through university during this time has found the chance to improve personally, mentally and emotionally. I want you guys to read this and believe that everyone has had a tough time during lockdown and it is okay because we can come out stronger.
