My final project is going to be about the culture of going to a UNH Hockey game. What it is like to go, what goes on there, why it is such a great atmosphere. I thought this story would be cool because UNH hockey was one of the reasons I decided to come to this school to begin with. Also, it is such big thing to do on campus on the weekends.
I have already taken some video clips and put it together for my previous project, so I can use some of my better clips and use that for the final project. I plan to use some audio recordings for some of the chants that they do because it is a big thing in the hockey game. I am going to take pictures of the other teams and how the fans react to them. Since Maine came this weekend, I got some good pictures and audio clips of the fans and the opposing team. I learned that my other peers really liked my idea, which made me surprised because I usually do not get such positive feedback on any of my story ideas. The feedback that I got was very positive. They liked it because they know how passionate a lot of the students are about the hockey at UNH. They suggested that I should focus mostly on the fans instead of the players views of what it is like to play hockey.
My ideas of the project has not changed at all. In fact, I feel more confident in doing it. My challenges are going to be staying on top of the fans chants and cheers and watching the game. Sometimes I do not take the right pictures or record all of the chants in time. There are no warnings of when the chants happen, so I have to be more aware of my surroundings. I felt lukewarm about the other ideas in my group because the story ideas were either just okay or they seemed too unrealistic to accomplish. I think my classmates will do well, but it depends on how determined they are to succeed. I am super excited about this project. I think the biggest obstacle was having some other people agree on me doing it. Once it passed, I am more focused and more prepared than anything now.
