602 Update (Showreel Development Continued)

Despite receiving three sessions of feedback, two of which were in favour of the length and chosen clips, I recently found out that I needed to lose six seconds off my showreel, as the submission required that the length must be sixty seconds max.



Admittedly, I felt at this point we're just splitting hairs. While I'm very aware of how important it is to pay strict attention to the time constraints given in a commissioned piece of work, a showreel is much more personal, so I imagined it would be more flexible. Especially considering most lecturers and visiting professionals recommend showreels range between one minute and two, and six seconds felt like nothing.

Having said that, I've got a week to go so it's natural that tensions are running high. To think my time at University is almost over, and with the amount of pressure riding on submitting this final module on time and to the best standard, I must confess, has caused unnecessary anxiety and rising panic.

Complaining, when it's such a simple fix, seems pointless! Something that the maturity I've developed this year has made obvious. So, I reduced the length for submission, as asked, and updated my presentation. Now, I can upload this to my online accounts!
