What is it?

I created a new subdomain for my final project. I made a field hockey website. I posted tutorials of different skills and I incorporated links for those to explore more about the sport and different teams. This website is not just about field hockey, but it is about young girls finding a new passion. I discovered the sport at such an old age, I want to inspire people that it is never too late to try something new. I created a more pink and cute appearing website, rather than a sport focused, to appeal to all people. Not just athletes, but all people looking to discover something new.

Accessibility

I provided alt text for each image on my website. There were only two images, however I made sure to incorporate it. I also used heading structure for my posts and pages to ensure it was clear as to what was being introduced and what ideas meshed together. I provided descriptive link text for each of my links so my audience knows what they are clicking on. I also ensured each video and picture were high in quality, with proper lighting and clear visibility. For each of my tutorials, I wrote subtitles so those who cannot listen, can read!

Media, Source Credit, Copyright

All of the work provided was my own work, except for one youtube video I provided of the UNC and Northwestern field hockey teams. I created my own copyright located at the footer of the website. I acknowledged my ownership of the work as of the year 2024. By providing “All Rights Reserved,” I am asserting full rights over the content as others cannot use, reproduce, or distribute this material without permission. I chose my copyright license to look like this because I want to ensure if these videos are used for any purpose, that I am given credit for the hard work I put into them. I also attributed credit to the NCAA for the film of the field hockey game. I embedded videos I posted through Youtube to ensure proper visibility and accessibility.

Information Accuracy

The information provided is all accurate. I can attribute my knowledge to five years of the game and many lessons on each of these skills. The websites and links I embedded were all used at least once in my life, as I know the information to go with them are correct and useful.

AI

I only used AI for one thing: my script for the introduction of my video. To engage my audience and create a fun beginning, I used AI to form my script. Other than that, AI was not used.

My Process

I went through UMW domains to build another domain. I went through the same process as when I created my subdomain under this class, however I based it around field hockey. I installed WordPress as I feel it is visually pleasing and organized. I am also comfortable with it. After then installation, I created my header, site icon, and favicon to personalize it and differentiate it from my other site, even though they give off similar ideas. By creating a pink and positive background, it can appeal to everybody, even those who do not play sports. I then, cleaned up my site by removing the sample pages, the random information, and the access pages I did not need. After that, I created my footer with my homepage and my About me page. Finally, I created the tutorials and created many blog posts along with including links in my “links” page. I used Imovie to create and edit these videos and posted them to YouTube in order to share them.

Here it is!

After the process: here it is!!!!

My Final!

My Audio Project: Field Hockey Injuries

The Podcast

Transcript

Sound of whistle blowing

Every game tells a story, not just through the goals scored but through the challenges players face on the field. Today, we dive into the data behind injuries in field hockey—a sport of speed, strategy, and skill.

Field Hockey game sounds

On the field, where injuries happen tells us a lot about the intensity and demands of the sport. In the women’s game, most injuries occur inside the circle—25 cases in our data. This area is where goals are scored and stakes are highest. Imagine the sound of sticks clashing and players diving to block shots.

More field hockey game sounds

For men, the risk rises even higher, with 95 injuries reported in the circle. The competitive pace and physicality of the game amplify the danger in these moments.

Sounds of footsteps running on turf

Injuries also spike near the 25-yard line. For men, 59 injuries were recorded here, compared to 17 for women. Midfield is quieter by comparison, with far fewer incidents. The game, it seems, demands the most in zones of intense offensive and defensive action.

Crowd Gasping

While these numbers highlight the risks, they also underline the resilience and strategy of the players. Every tackle, every sprint, every shot carries a calculated risk. Field hockey is not just a game; it’s a battle of endurance and courage.

Whistle Blows

The field is a stage where athletes push their limits, and every injury tells a story. This is the reality behind the game we love.

The Story

Data Set

The data is based on where injuries occur the most on the field hockey field, both for men and women. The story outlines the intensity of the game in the sense that the areas of the field with the most action is where most injuries occur. The point of this story was to engage the audience with an emotional appeal as they feel the passion for the game, and understand the risks in the most intense areas.

Why a Podcast?

I chose a podcast so I could incorporate sound effects that reflect the intensity of the game. I wanted to challenge myself to be able to share a story through audio, which can be difficult to follow as a listener. The data for field hockey would be best reflected using sounds, or videos, however, I did not want to act out getting injured or risk anybody else.

The Process

I used Vocaroo to record my audios for the podcast. I recorded my script, then the sound effects. I then put all of the recordings into SoundTrap to edit. I pieced together the transcript, as well as the sound effects to give it a story tone.

Credit

I credit @nufhcats on Instagram for the sound effects of the team playing and cheering.

I credit Royalty Free Sounds for my other sound effects.

I credit Chat GPT for assistance on organizing my podcast.

I want to build a new subdomain fr my final project. I have two options:

1. I would like to create a field hockey tutorial website, where I post videos of my teammates and me demonstrating field hockey skills to teach others.
2. I would like to continue my Dancing with the Stars reaction videos to other dances, potentially other seasons.

I feel like option one is very interesting to me, but option two would provide more entertainment to anyone who wants to view. Either idea will be a new subdomain, and have the same format, just different videos will be filmed.

Data Set and Chart

My Data Set

Link to my DataSet

Injury Data of Field Hockey Players

Trend

I noticed that as the players get further from the goal, the injuries decrease. The circle is the place on the field which is closest to the goal, which appears to have the most injuries with men and women. The mid field is the farthest location from the goal, as it appears that is where the least amount of injuries occur.

My Process

After finding the dataset, I copied it into excel. Then, I cleaned up the data, making it look better and more organized. After that, I created the Pivot Table, which displayed the data in a more clear way. Finally, I made a bar graph to visually show the data. These methods helped me determine the trends of the dataset.

The Video

DWTS

My podcast was about Dancing with the Stars season 33, which is the current season. It is the hottest topic of conversation in our room, and on our team, so I felt like it was fun to talk about! Now, we made a reaction video to one of the dances from the first episode. The couple in the dance are currently still in the competition and watching the growth has been so fun!

The Process

First, I made a shot list to act as my outline to figure out what shots I need. I used AI to help me generate one, however I fixed the shots to what was accessible to me. After my shot list, I recorded a few takes with my friend a week prior to ensure we had the right idea.

When it was time for the real filming, we set up two cameras at two different angles, so we were able to flip back and forth from each angle. We also filmed a few close ups, of our live facial expressions, and of us pressing play on the remote. Finally, I filmed the television, so I could embed it in the clips of us so the viewers can see what we were watching.

Then, I edited using IMovie. I put all the clips together and switched to the different angles at times it felt right. I used minimal transitions to ensure it felt natural and realistic. Then, I uploaded the video for everyone to see.

Shot List

Instructions

My plan for my project is to create a reaction video of my friend and I reacting to some of the dances from Disney week of Dancing with the Stars. I will include recorded video of our faces, and images of the dancers to show up on camera for a mix of still images.

List

Test Recordings

Equipment

I plan to use an Iphone to record, and materials around the room for a stabilizer. We will also have a person to film the scenes where the camera is moving. I chose this to keep the video simple. I will use Imovie to put it all together and edit. There will be a clip of the dances we watch in the bottom corner so the audience can see a clear view as to what we are looking at.

My Plan

I plan to shoot similar angles as to what we just tested. As we will have close ups of our reactions, and wide angles looking at the scenery in the background to get a sense of comfort. We will react to some of our favorite dances from one of the weeks. This supports my project as I discussed what Dancing with the Stars was about, and I gave a blurb about the upcoming episode, and now we will be reacting to that episode.

DWTS Season 33 Podcast

How did I do it?

To record my podcast, I used an online audio recorder called Vocaroo. This allowed me to record my voice. To edit, I used Soundtrap as I added music, sound effects, and was able to edit the music I recorded to fade in and out. AI helped me outline my podcast, as it organized what I was going to tall about, as well as help me form the image above.

My Test Recording

More Information

My topic

My podcast will be about Dancing with the Stars Season 33, which is the current season right now. I chose this topic because my best friends and I watch the show each week and we are so entertained, I want to speak about it and get others to tune in as well. Some of our favorite celebrities are on this season. This show has brought us together and I wold love to inspire others to do the same.

Equipment

I will be using my Iphone to record, as I know the quality will be better and I will be able to transport it easier as I talk. I will be in a quiet room with no background noise, however if time allows, I am going to play the theme music for a few seconds.

AI

I used AI to help me write this outline as it planned my timing for me and gave me the categories to talk about in an organized fashion. I will fill in the specific details as to the stars I am talking about, the iconic theme nights I found interesting, and my reasonings for wanting my audience to be involved.

My Images

My “favicon” is a “K” in pink. The color pink represents how I go about life. Not only is my room covered in this color, but it represents a sense of vibrance that I try to display throughout my days. For my site image, I decided to stick to the theme and use a pink “K” in a different format. When people click on my link, I want them to feel happy from the colors, while understanding what they are clicking on with the letter “K.” For my Header, I used a pink background and put pink desserts with it. This all represents not only my favorite color, but the light I try to live my life in.

My Process

I decided to use Canva to create all of my images. For my favicon, I wanted to keep it simple, but pretty. I put in the 512×512 px to make sure it will be clear on my website. Then I typed in a “K” and changed the font size. For my header, I filled in 2000×1200 px and created a pink background. Then, I found pink images and put them in a line format, and created the dessert themed header. These images are a png.
