Dashing from Truro to deepest darkest Penzance all this week to work with the Art Department for Crossday Productions (again) on Summer in February. Good experience; it has made me really appreciate the level of hard work and dedication needed to work in the film industry. I know I want to work in TV but even so there are parallels and more to the point I understand etiquette on a professional film-set now which is great.
This week, I did some photo-copying, painted signs, unravelled bunting, talked to art directors, shovelled gravel, followed orders from production and location managers also observed a period costume piece being created or should I say “realised” before my eyes.
I loved this week, even though I got home at an ungodly hour every evening and spent most of the time cold and/or rain-soaked.
Additionally, I had my summative tutorial for Unit 130 last Friday and that was really positive if a bit un-nerving. You see, I love watching TV, I love making TV but I am still unsure as to whether I want to be in factual or fictional television. So, in the tutorial I have plumbed for drama and I am hoping for the best although conscious that the industry is intensely competitive and you cannot afford to be indecisive.
Silver lining, though, at least I know I can generate ideas for both documentary and drama also I can always pull a half decent pitch out of my sleeve!
