Well its been a long time since I last posted but that's because i've been busy... and away! The ob doc we just got the marks back for was fun to make, it has been good settling in with the new group although there have been a number of rumblings about last minute group changes etc. Anyway, after a palaver that involved endless talks with a bingo hall about filming an ob doc on them we eventually chose to shoot a late night radio station. The experience was fun, it was the first time i had got out of the local Bournemouth area and it gave me a reason to go home and see my parents as well as witnessing something that i hadn't seen before - a radio show being recorded live. Troshy, using his contacts had got us excellent access to the whole offices and meeting Iain Lee, who i reckon can be classed as a 'celebrity' due to his history in TV, was another great experience.
I was a bit disapointed however when we got our mark back of 58. At first i thought it was a good project and the low mark was because our marker had been change from Tristan to our new lecturer Nick Bamford. Now, as far as can tell they both hold different ideas as to what our ob doc required and after many heated debates during seminars with Nick I can see that his view is probably better. Although Tristan was our Tutor, Jonathan wrote the brief, and although Tristan was supposed to mark it, Nick did, and his marks corresponded with Jonathan's which i guess is all that is important. The feedback was valid and although it was a bit bit hard to swallow at first, we did accept it in the end.
Oh well, it was a good experience and you learn from your mistakes, Holland was good too, i might make a habbit of going away during reading weeks!
