This has been a very busy week for my project, because I just came back from break and need to record more videos. I need to catch up on the time that I missed because this is very essential to my project. I have a court scheduled this weekend where I can record.  I am incorporating different techniques into my videos, but I need to really to catch up as I am behind on some of my videos. However, this weekend I plan to get majority of the filming done.  I have worked on my backhand stroke and learned the tips I need to tell them in the video. These tips include learning to keep racket head acceleration on the backhand stroke to ensure that the ball is deep in the court.  If I work hard I should have some helpful tips for beginners in the sport. 

Update before break

My tennis videos are coming along well. I now have two videos filmed, however I need to edit one of them and make sure that it is in the right quality for YouTube. Right now, I am working on editing one of my videos right now by putting some background music into it so that it will make the video more entertaining.  I am disappointed because I will be in Colorado this weekend so I will be behind on filming my videos. This means I will have to make up this time after break by filming a couple of videos in one day or so. I plan on filming some of my videos the weekend after break so that I can make up the time that I lost and get back on track. I plan on having my videos done within time so that I can edit them before they are due.

Update

This week I was able to ask my mentor for the perfecting tips on my game so that I could perfect my backhand stroke. I was able to set up a time this weekend where I can film my backhand video on how to hit a backhand, and when to use it in the point.  Right now I am working on filming another one of my videos that I can provide more content and teach people more strokes. My mentor has really helped me on what I should include in my videos and my resources have been very helpful in providing good content as well.  I am very pleased with how the future of this project is shaping up and I am on track to have a great project.
