Another Post

This week I helped Lacey on her major. I acted as a production assistant in the studio and had a really good time. It was a good show, and was pretty seamless by the last take.
I don't think I was strict enough as production manager to make sure we were wasting time... although I don't think I've realised how strict I need to be to get a good balance with the crew. Apparently I must have been too strict as a third year snapped at me. Oh well... I've asked for feedback from the director, as she's a production manager specialist, and a good one. I want to learn how to be good too, and can only do so by getting honest feedback.
She's let me know that I had to work on communicating regularly with the director to keep their nerves down. Fair point.

I handed in my theory essay, which I think was okay. Again not masses of theory but I'm hoping it makes sense more than anything. It again got to the stage where's I'd filled the word count, read it over... it made snese and it had got so late in the night that I just rinted it off.

The summer project is coming up, and as much as I'd like to do it I'm not going to be around for the shoot dates. Hopefully will be getting involved filming viral videos for a band which will be awesome. Just the lack of time that gets to me now! I'm here until the end of May, and that's it. How annoying...

I've also managed to get involved in another major project in the studio, which is going to be happening the last week of May. I don't mine what I manage to do there, but the more experience I can get the better!
