Director workshop
Today at the studios Simon gave us a Directors workshop, where we had a lecture about all the roles and responsibilities a director has, and like Simon says "You cant learn how to be a director, you just become one!" So he gave us all 1min to direct the rest of the class I whatever way we saw fit, this varied from dancing, running, jumping, the list goes on. Then he set us all a task to get in groups of 5 and you get 20mins each to come up with a scene each which had to involve the passing of a note, so we had 20mins to direct the other 4 in the group and film it, see the link below.

Back to uni :D
Well today I went back to uni after having 13weeks off, and I've missed it big time.
Today Simone gave us an introduction into or Directors unit, it was all a bit mind boggling at first but I think I've got my head around it now and think I've got a good idea!
Simon also set us a task to come up with a 3min film called 'Summer Is Dead' and to be fair my group fell well short of the mark, I don't think we were nowhere near as prepared as we could of been, but I learnt a lot as I found the viewing very embarrassing, and hopefully this wont happen again, although it was fun working with the cameras again.

Guess whos back, back again!
I'd like to start by apologising, I haven't blogged in yonks! sorry!
Anyhow, The journey!!!!!!! Its been doing my nut in! I had agreat idea about the journey to a bbq/party, but my friends are usless and let me down so I had to scrap that idea, then I had a brain-wave!!! I thought if people are goning to let me down I wont use them, I'll use my nephews toys! But I ended up writing a funny script for it and after a chat with Simon we decided it would'nt work for this project, So I came up with the idea of an emotional journey and I turned to my good friends Hennie and Maddie for help and went around Maidstone and took loads of pics of Hennie and myself having a "barney" we've still gotta shoot the ending as we ran out of day light but that will be getting done this week, and in the mean time I've been getting thunder storm sounds to go with it. Exciting!
I've also been chipping away at my essay, I think I'm getting there, I hope! and helping the 2nd years with their 'as live' project 'The Pub Game' where I was very kindly asked if I'd have a go at presenting it for the rehersals, and I jumped at the chance, I've never done any presenting before and I think its fair to say Ant and Dec's jobs are safe but I really enjoyed it, and I was very happy landing the Assistant floor managers role for the live filming of The Pub Game. For me it doesn't get any better than working in the studio I wish we could do more of it!
I've now got to tackle power point, for our presesntation, that should be fun! Oh yeah I watched Catfish last week, I dont want to tell you what its about because it will give the game away! but its well worth a watch!
