Time to do a little review.
Towards the beginning of the term, I took part in filming for the Radiator Festival - that has certainly allowed me to gain further insights into the digital arts industry.
--------------------------
I then moved on to organising a shoot for a company named BCS who were based in Nottingham - initially they wanted somebody to go down to Bristol and film a 'promotional' video, looking to give potential clients confidence through the viewing of the video - in which we would interview existing clients.
However, the dates did not work out and that sort of blew over :S
----------------------------
Couple of weeks later, I find myself helping my lecturers run a buddying scheme for New College Nottingham.
These 'kids' signed up for a crash course in how to do Multimedia and were to produce a project by the end of the 4 3hours sessions we had. They were taught the desgin process and how a typical multimedia practitioner would go through with ideas developments. They also learnt how to do script writing, project management, photoshoping and best park of all, film editing.
Through teaching and helping them, I found myself learning things by teaching them. It was suprising not only did I enjoy it, I also walked away benefitting, from explaining to them concepts I had been taught and thought I understood.
-------------------------
Soon after that, I was put in touch with local digital media company Active Ingredient to 'act'. Not so much acting, more like pretending to get on a bus and commute to 'work'. I had to get on buses for one stop just to get off at the next stop. It made me understand how hard it is for actors to have to keep repeating what they do so many time. Sure made me realise why communication skills are so essential within the industry.
For those who has vimeo, this is the video - http://vimeo.com/3816484
--------------------------
I then had the luck to once again film for BCS public relations. We had a little trouble regarding the kit but soon after it was sorted me and my crew was on our way. Filming footage for a 'demo' of a product by now is relatively easy. With more than enough material and a simplistic video the client looks for, we now just have to go and draft up the first edit.
Overall, it's been a very productive term, I think.
