Pitchy Pitchy
The pitch for AS live is on thursday this week! I have been preparing and expanding my ideas, and im chuffed because I had an idea today that I really like; for the VT inserts, I would like to do some kind of driving or parking challenge! Its the age old battle of who is the better driver, man or woman?! (insurance premiums alone are proof that the latter rules the road (: )
Also, some kind of map or direction reading task, and perhaps some kind of mult-tasking task.
Had a look through the star now website and have jotted down a few names that I would love to contact if I were commissioned. It felt weird though... trolling through peoples headshots, felt like a stalker...
Last week I made lists of stereotypical male and female jobs:

AS live
Yesterday Hans came in to talk to us about our as live projects. It was very useful as we all shared ideas we have been having. I found it helpful as the idea I had been sitting on, well, i thought it was quite crap, but by sharing it with the others and getting their feedback, I felt a lot more confident about it. Basically, I've come up with an idea for a kind of battle of the sexes show, where there would be two presenters, one male, one female, representing their sides. It would consist of quiz questions, and tasks. The tasks would be stereotypically 'male' tasks, i.e d.i.y and other such things, and stereotypically 'female' tasks, such as baking or ironing..? to be confirmed! I would also have an element of proffessions, for example, as an accountant trying hairdressing or something! I envisage a davina esque female presenter as this would be a loud and competive show, and she is very loud, and someone like James Corden as the male presenter as he is also like that.
But it is all to be developed!

Back to reality
So back to uni!
Sorry it has taken me a while a to bloggy blog, I have moved this week and I dont get the wonderful worldwide web installed until tomorrow so have to do it whilst here in the studios.
I am SO excited for our fiction adaptation unit, I think most people would be more excited for the AS LIVE, which I am, however its quite daunting, whereas fiction adpatation is right up my street! We get to intertwine literature ( a love of mine ) into a script for television ( another love of mine! ) and its all just very exciting!
Not much has changed, except the injection of 16 newbies! Its weird! But we havnt really seen them much yet, so I look forward to getting to know them. Other changes are some new posters, and a new lift carpet, woohoo!
Over christmas I rewatched Inception as I got it for christmas and I just love it and a small sample of other christmas rubbish, along with now the much talked about big fat gypsy weddings, grabbing and non paying tax aside, its actually a really interesting watch, and I am so surprised that these gypsys allowed this documentary to happen, however so far there has been no men shown except some grooms and the young teens.
Helen has just shown us the bbc series Sherlock, my first experience of Sherlock, I have not seen any films or adaptations before or read any of the books. I really liked the series, its extremely clever and fast paced with some beautiful shots.
Well, until next time!

06/12/2010 d-day.
The end is here! I have 2 completed essays that I am about to hand in, and Dylan is doing the final tweaks to our film. Everything that we have worked towards over the last 4 months has come to an end! I have to say that my favorite thing that we have done is the direction film, I like all the pre production elements of it, and filming in the style on Tim Burton was always going to be fun!
I actually also liked writing the narrative & genre essay, it was an interesting subject and I felt that I did fairly well in it. It was also a bonus that I HAD to watch the entire first series of Lost in one week, for research purposes of course!
I am looking forward to our second year, I especially like the sound of the fiction adaptation unit, however, I am not sure whether or not I am looking forward to newbies! It will be nice to have some more people, as we are such a small group, but as we are the first year of this course, and we are such a small group, it may feel weird, like they are coming into our territory! lol. But I'm sure they will be lovely and we can take them all under our wings :)
Well, Merry Christmas! See you in the New Year!

The looming end of term and the Deathly Hallows..
Originally written on 25/11/2010
Can't believe its been a whole year, and we're nearly in our second year! How exciting! Im not sure if I am looking forward to new people or not...this is our territory now and they will come in and take over! However it will be nice to meet some new people!
Saw Harry Potter last night it was so so so so so good, my favorite so far! It was extremely dark for a Harry Potter film, and it was just so different, for example, they weren't in Hogwarts at all!! It was just so much more..grown up, but I guess as the actors are adults now, it had to be. And they're were a few parts where I actually jumped in my seat! I cannot wait until the summer for the second part. LOVED IT!
