Specialism Finally Over!

Well the long torture of the specialism project is finally over and done with. Thank God!. It was a really tough and stressful experience, yet it was a great learning curve.I learned a lot about myself as a worker. Now onto the professional studies

Filming Finished

The filming of "Waiting" has been finished finally. It hasn't been without its problems. The biggest issue we had was with the 1960s/1970s era clothing and set dressing.

All we need to do now is edit.

New Actress

After losing Emily Coates, the actress who was going to play Eleanor, we had to look for another. Luckily we were given the name of another actress who appeared at the auditions. Vicky Holtom, who was also in Karl's film "Through The Eyes".

She is working
4th  from 12 until 4.30
6th  5-6
7th 1 - 7pm

We'll most likely film her parts on the 6th as she isn't working until the evening.

Presentation Finally Finished

Well, today I've finished my presentation. It is on semitoics and the role of religion and mythology in film. Hopefully it will all go well on Wednesday.

Specialism Is Going Better

Well after certain unpleasentries surrounding the Waiting project, things have gotten a lot better over the past few weeks. Thanks to my co-producer Sam, we now have pretty much all the actors and most of the locations. Unfortunately the actress we originally got to play Eleanor is only free over Easter so we may have to hire a replacement.

Specialism Update And Potential Swansong

So far the specialism is not looking good at all. Not got much organized so far and it likes the plug will be pulled on it if things don't get done by this week. If it happens it looks like it'll be the end of my CCAD career.

Presentation Update

I have had to completely revamp my presentation. Originally it was about uses and gratifications and the empowerment theory. However the new idea features more symbolism in it. Because of this the presentation is now on semiotics and idelogy, which is good for me because I found the subject easier to digest.
