Created Instrument for my Soundscape

For my Soundscape sessions, I created an instrument out of a used coca-cola box, filled with various materials and objects such as rocks, twigs and baking paper. I decided to use the instrument for the second image given in my soundscapes blue box. 

Due to the organic nature and its appearance which was reminiscent of a cocoon to me. I often rattled and shook the box to simulate what a an egg or cocoon would sound like moving and rattling, perhaps even pulsing. I would shake the box at different speeds and tap different sides to generate varied sounds. 
This is the instrument I constructed. 
The cardboard handle attached on top of the box was used to scratch the sellotape surface on that side to make sounds mimicking crackling and rattling.

I have felt both scared and stressed out believing I will fail this whole course if I even remotely submitted anything subpar and thus fail at having a career in animation. Not helping was the Covid pandemic which has greatly affected the university, my mental health, my course, my family, among much more. While I think I am likely to pass the course now that I have submitted all the necessary components for my major project, needless to say there is quite a bit I wish I could have done better. The reason I believe for a lot of this was simply time. Some was out of my control other times I feel I could have done something to help myself give a better outcome of the project. I cannot help but feel that while it could've gone a lot worse my project could've been a lot better if I had a bit more time such as having better time management and stopping myself from procrastinating as often.
