Its all coming to an end.

So, the final year, I can't believe how quick the past 2 years have gone. As much as I've hated all the work an stress of deadlines, I have absolutely loved my experience at uni so far, and i will be really upset when it all comes to and end, because after that I'll have to choose a path, and being the most indecisive person ever, its going to be a hard decision.

 

Just think in 6 month time i will have finished all my work, It's actually quite terrifying that i'll have to go into the real world, and actually get a job, AHH. Though part of me is quite excited about it.

I've got really good feeling about this final year, I've made some amazing friends, and can't wait to spend more time with them this year. Even though its actually just dawned on me that I have so much work to do, including an 8000 word dissertation and then a main media artefact for my Production Project(which I'm quite looking forward too!) and then other, but I'm not too worried about them!

My summer was great, especially doing the 2 week placement at Lime Pictures. I'd never actually watched Hollyoaks prior to going, well I had but it was about 4 years ago, so i was a bit worried about how that might pan out. Having said this, after my time there, I'm now the biggest fan! I can't stop watching it. I also got put in charge of designing their promotion posters for the '6 weeks of summer' period, which was amazing. I did get thrown in the deep end form the first day, but i think that's what motivated me more to do well and try to impress them. I got to do a lot of Photoshop work which i was extremely pleased about! 

Here's a few posters i created for them. Its not really my style, but it's what they asked for!

Moving into this final year, I want to prove to myself that i can work hard, as last year i know i didn't try my best, and i let work slip under and pile up. I'm going to try and not to leave everything till last minute, though i know i will, because i say that every single year since I've started. However this year involved a lot of independent study, which I'm thrilled about.

I prefer working by myself as I get far to distracted working in a team, and I do have a tendency to want to take over, or get irritated if i don't like an idea. I just think being able to focus on my own work will improve my work, and it'll allow me to be more creative within my ideas and skills- as a lot of the time, when working in a group, you have to share processes such as editing or filming, and well i never usually get the chance to fully focus on editing. So it'll be nice to experiment this year- especially as in this module, we'll be focusing on some new techniques which I'm excited about!
