For my personal study I intend on exploring the challenges and rewards of being a dedicated athlete during teenage years. As i have grown up around athletics, thinking of the different stages of mine and my friends athletics journey gives me my own sense of nostalgia. To explore this I will be creating a documentary revolving around Jersey Spartan A.C and my friend Jamie Oldham, who in island games, national championships, English schools championships and the youth commonwealth games in 2023 also becoming jerseys fastest 100 and 200 meter runner breaking both island records at the same competition. Over the last few years i have trained and competed with Jamie and witnessed his challenges as well as his successes and i believe his story and insight of physical and mental health in the world of athletics will be interesting to hear for people of all age groups.

My creative inspiration will be “I am bolt” and jeen-yuhs: a Kanye trilogy. I am using these as i believe the production of them is top tier especially when it comes to the narrative and the use of editing to convey the narrative .

my first shoot will be an interview in which I ask Jamie question about his personal life and his athletics his career allowing the viewers to gain a more personal connection with him, my second photoshoot will be shots of him training at the track to show more exciting action shots finally i will be filming his morning routine to get an incite on his daily life.
