Well needed TLC


I realise that my blog hasn't been receiving much attention of late which isn't good news, therefore i have decided to take on a blog a day challenge from now until the end of the semester. However this will probably not include weekends.
I think a good place to start with this new ambitious project is to talk about my first experience presenting. I was asked to present Sports Week and naturally as i had yet to give it a go i was keen to take the 'hot seat'. I came in on the Tuesday suited and booted and nervously waited for the camera to start rolling. As I was losing my presenting V plates I wasn't familiar with the autocue but found it easily enough to use. I felt like my performance wasn't too bad for a first attempt, the build up beforehand was quite stressful as a lot seemed to be going a bit Pete Tong, but when we actually got down to business everything ran relatively smoothly. Obviously it took me a few takes to nail the links and such but the finished product was alright. I was keen to watch back the footage just to see how it came out and when I did i was quite disappointed. Its something that i'm struggling to come to terms with but I don't think i look that great on camera, which is bit of a pain. In my head I looked suave like a James Bond type character however in reality I really didn't. Anyway this is only a short one to ease myself back into the swing of things but judge for yourself.
