1st day of first year

Today I had my first lecture, it basically outlined the whole year and Simon tried to motivate the whole year.

I have learnt that for my research project that referencing is important, however I shouldn't reference too much.

Also, I will have to reserve roughly £75 to be put in the multimedia catalogue. I also have to get a show reel sorted, so I have something to put in this catalague and show case my work for future employers.

The SPP 3 project sounds like its something that is going to help me optimise employment after I finish my last year.

There are two assignments:

Assignment one: Catalogue Entry and Showreel DEADLINE 16/12/08
Assignment two: Post graduation Application packages DEADLINE 24/03/09

Later on that day we had a lecture about the client project.

The client project is broken up in two parts:

Simulated Project - 6 weeks directed product
Live Client Project - End of term, 1, 2 and 3

This lecture informed me to understand the need of the client and the key audience. It also informed me on proffesionalism.

The client project is a great oppotunity to push myself and to make contacts.

The simulated project is basically easin the group into the project by giving us a 6 week task, the task is to create a product for awareness. The topics of awareness are either:

Sexual Health
Climate change
Health living
Sustainability

I have no idea yet, however climate change seems live the obvious one to do in my opinion.

The live client project is already in the pipe line, I am creating a local documentary for a client called Tony Roe. He works at the bbc and he wants a local documentary in the style of his local tv show "inside out". Me and Sukhdeep are going to work on this project, however split the documentary into two halfs, one I will direct and Sukhdeep will produce and via versa.

We will also have to meet with the client atleast 3 dates, so he can evaluate our progress.

I am really looking forward to getting my head down this year! I'm going to show what I really can do!

Watch this space!
