My final project as of right now

Before I met with Sandy, I was excited about my progress with my progress with my project. As you know, I am working on an experience at a UNH hockey game. I have covered three games so far, two of them were against the University of Miami (Ohio) and the third one was against the University of Maine. The first Miami game did not go so well because my battery of my camera died during the game, so I got more coverage in the second game.
There is a combination of video, still photography and audio recordings. With the video, I am entering the arena, then shows the concession stand, then the UNH Apparel area. There is a photography area for the UNH hockey players. Then I show the ice. I also have some interviews with some rabid fans, a member of the band and other UNH students. I also have some game coverage and intermission activities. The video part was very challenging, but I think I have some good stuff. In the Maine game, I have some audio recording of the fans chanting and two separate interviews with two students. I took several photos between the fans, the hockey players and whatever else is going in the arena. I felt pretty good about it because all three of them were sold out and they were all fun and competitive games.
It is all good stuff, but Sandy told me something that gave me a new perspective on my project, "Every story needs a character." I know the epiphany sounds something like a child can think of, but sometimes I need that to get me going. If I can talk to and even sit with some fanatic UNH fans and how they get the chants going, maybe the project will have more meaning to it. Before, I liked it the way it was, but then it would not be much of a story. I initially thought it would have been cool because it would have been a cool feature. But once Sandy told me about the character stuff, I realized he made a good point. I was stressed out and discouraged at first because for one, I put a lot of work so far and I felt like I didn’t get anything done. The second thing is that I am going to have to put more work into it. The problem is, the deadline for the rough draft is November 18th and the next hockey game I can go to is on the 20th. I am really going to have to be more aggressive than usual and do everything I can to get that story.
What I am worried about in the story is what if I become too aggressive and scare people off? My problem is that I care too much about my work. I should have the attitude that I can’t be a professional overnight, so I can’t have too many expectations for myself. My vision for this story is to make the viewers to understand why going to a UNH hockey is like a cult. Why is it so exciting? There is so much passion and intensity in the arena for each game, no matter who the opponent is. Of course, the excitement is even more invigorating when they play their Hockey East conference rivals like Maine, Boston College and Boston University. It was the reason why I went to UNH in the first place (other than the academics and the beautiful sights of course). Once I talk to the rabid fans, I think my story will be complete, after the massive editing I would have to do.
