I had my first lecture in the theory module today, which was interesting. It’s about dreams as they relate to the moving image. It’s an interesting topic, and what’s more, I got a presentation topic that actually specifically calls for a study of the Doctor Who episode “Blink”, which it has to be said is [...]
I was up early today. We had to measure up a “studio” (they call it a studio, but it’s more a teaching room with loads of sockets.) for an assessment two weeks from now. To get out of there before classes (for other people) were due to start, we had to be there at nine. [...]
Busy day today, even though I don’t feel like I’ve done much. I think it has partly to do with the fact that I was “late” out of bed, so I didn’t have my usual leisurely morning before uni, and also the fact that I didn’t do MANY things.
Had a dolly workshop (A dolly is [...]
I got some writing done in the morning, so I’m very happy about that. I’ve almost finished the first draft by now, after which I will location scout a bit on Wednesday (looking for willing coffee booth owners in Edinburgh, etc) and do some analysing of my own script (along with others) to see if [...]
Derek Zoolander may have declined to get back on the horse on account of not being a gymnast, but In an attempt not to be quite as dimwitted, I’m going to attempt to get back on it… Legolas style.
November went, december – including deadlines and christmas – came and went. January is here. I managed [...]
Went to uni to capture all the footage from the docu shoot last weekend. Forgot the tapes at home, had to get them again. D’OH! Because of this, we were so late to start that we hardly got anything done. We were going to bring interviews home over weekend to transcribe, but didn’t get diddly-squat.
Took [...]
This blog is turning out to be a lot more personal than I anticipated, though I suppose I should have expected it, considering the purpose of this “project”. Not that anyone is actually reading, but if you are and you’d rather not read stuff when I’m being personal, just ignore the posts that are marked [...]
Didn’t write yesterday. Plain forgot. Too busy feeling sorry for myself.
Had class at uni which went fairly well. I was feeling better about things, but was also sweaty and stinky. When I got home, I decided I wasn’t up for drama. I had a shower and was going to play Dead Space, but realised there [...]
Day started well enough as we looked out our window to see the season’s first frost-laden grass. I took a picture of it, look!
Marit helped me to carry the equipment back to university, me taking the heavy stuff, obviously. Once wegot to uni, she went off to get Dragon Age and I stayed behind. I [...]
What can I say, really? The day went off without too much trouble, technically. I even managed to sneakily get some footage at Waitrose of Ramona shopping, though it was all pretty shaky and close-up since we didn’t have permission and I had to film as candidly as possible. Most of the time, it was [...]
