On Tuesday evening, I went across to Portsmouth to do some videoing for a story I want to tell. To help me with the video, I had prepared some cue cards.
It wasn’t until I went to use the cards that I realised that they were almost as bad as not having cards, and not knowing what I wanted to say.
The trouble with the cards was that they had questions on them to which I did not know the answer. As you can probably imagine, it was extremely frustrating for me, and that blew my confidence out of the water.
Since Tuesday, I’ve spent a bit of time re-working the cards, I think I have a story now, not a script mind you, but the facts, laidd out in such a way that I think they made sense. I did the same thing for Gosport, and had a read-out-loud session with them, and they worked really well. I need to do the same for portsmouth, after which, I will have no excuse not to film.
Plus, hopefully, because I will know what I am going to say, I won’t be bothered if there are people around, or even if they listen to what I say, what might be even better, is if they were to ask a question, then I could invite them to the camera to ask them.
I feel that once again I need to apologise for last nights post, which looks like I gave up typing halfway into a sentence. I was just so tired that I couldn’t concentrate at all. Tonight, I am buzzing a bit.
