Earlier today i submitted my PDP assignment as a link through the gateway.

This will most probably be the final post of my PDP blog.

Submission Day

I really think the university could have come up with a more user friendly way of connecting students online. CuOnline never works as it should.

I will post a couple more times today but overall i am disapointed in my own work in this project. The main reason i am so annoyed at myself for not doing more in this project is because out of my current modules this project has taught me the most about myself as a filmmaker and a worker.

I just watched a video

this video represents exactly wat i want to do as a film maker

i want to make something thats widely believed to be done a certain way and turn it around. I want to make films that show existing materials used creatively.

Some music i found.

Jeremy Robson is a composer i found on the internet recently. One piece in particular i would really like to use in a film some time.

Today i was truely surprised

I have always maintained that i disliked broadcast media as a subject (i always have). But today in our practical session i was genuinely interested and having fun working as part of a team to create a short video.

Then later in the afternoon in a group work session i really felt my ideas were heard i felt like i was part of a team and i was having fun.

This is why i came to university.

But, i still prefer to make short fictional films.

This will however be an interesting experience.

One of my final posts on this blog.

I am going to post once more every day until final submission.

I always intended for this blog to be filled with film reviews, information about personal projects i was working on, different events i was planning to be part of.

But it seems i never quite "got round to it".

I planned to catch up a bit during the 3 week easter break. I had my old laptop computer at home and i planned to post throughout. However my laptop broke and i spent the whole time without a computer.

For some reason this assignment was something i would forget about all the time. Unintentionally of course. This week in particular this has been a major issue.

Second Term Ends

Tomorrow morning i have my second PDP meeting. In this my second term i feel i need to try harder in my third term to post more regularly.

What did i do today?

"I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be." - Peter Gibbons (Office Space)

I watched Office Space today. Its possibly one of my favorite films of all time. This is the sort of film i would like to make some day
