Feeling inspired...

So I've completed my first week at UCA. 

On Tuesday we showed the summer projects we had made to our classmates. I hate watching my own work at the best of times let alone something that I am in and making a fool of myself. I spent the entire 3 minutes slowly sinking into my chair behind my course timetable. It didn't go down badly (I hope) and it does give a fairly accurate show of my personality and the things I enjoy doing and shows I don't take myself too seriously. I toyed with the idea of making it a bit more professional and 'arty' but at the end of the day as it was a piece about myself I don't tend to enjoy making myself look good so going down the comedy and music video route seemed the logical approach. 

I really enjoyed watching the films my classmates had made as it showed the different styles they enjoy working on and films that they like. I'm looking forward to working with a few of them, hopefully, on some projects in the future. 

On Thursday the first years were shown the work of previous students and for me it really got me thinking about what I can achieve in a few years time. If I can produce a piece of work that's half a good as what I've seen I'll be chuffed.

I came away from uni feeling really inspired about ideas I have for my own pieces of work and I started brainstorming the a couple of ideas I would like to take further with my friends and family and hopefully I can work on these in my spare time and produce some very different but interesting short films. 

Stay safe,

Helen
