You remember your bloopers in HD and your good plays in low resolution. Fix the settings.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Memory stores your mistakes in detail and your successes in outline. The errors sting, and that sting burns them in, while the good plays slide past unremarked because nothing hurt. What you are left with is an honest-feeling record that is badly edited against you.

Start a short list of things that went well, written the same day, with the details included. Read it back before the next thing you are nervous about. Giving the good footage equal resolution is a fair correction, not bragging.
