Week 12 (December 4 – December 8 2023)

Final week of term was laid back after the assignment was handed in last Friday. On Tuesday, with Fahmida, we continued finishing off people’s presentations on their future plans. Quite a few people said they didn’t want to continue into the film industry or film related universities so we had a discussion with Fahmida as to why that was. Careers was another simple lecture about mental health and wellbeing awareness. 

In the afternoon, a team of us worked on the music students’ ‘Pitched’ live TV Event. I am listed as Executive Producer in the credits and my job on the day was managing crew (three camera teams, vision mixer, liaising with music tech sound team and backstage theatre lighting team). This was a great collaboration between departments and I hope we can do more events like this. It’s a great way of building connections and makes me focus on the area I want to go into rather than running everything myself on my own productions. I directed the cameras from the gallery and with Josh as vision mixer by my side we could work the show well. For this, I’d been given the show rundown and cast by the music teacher so this was a different event than usual as I was entirely following someone else’s plans. This is a skill I will have to learn in industry.
