I am preparing myself at the moment for my last year at Bournemouth University it seems at the moment.

Don’t get me wrong, I am still producing films and TV shows and it’s going great although sometimes a bit daunting. Been directing a lot and working relatively hard on essays.

But at 20 I feel I am finally getting fit, strong and healthy. Something I should have started when I was 18. I am running three times a week, eating a very good vegetarian diet, just started kickboxing and started weekly surfing lessons. If I had been doing this two years ago I would be a machine right now and probably a hundred times better at all I do in life at the moment. But no need to dwell on the past, I am starting now and it feels great and in two years from now I won’t be feeling like I wasted two years.

I hope to be this strong, healthy, mentally astute guy when I enter my third year at Uni so that I will be producing the highest quality productions and dissertation. I also plan to seriously document a year that will hopefully be huge, coming out of Uni and working on some huge shoots and getting a job in this industry.

Also secured a lovely flat in the centre of town to live in with some amazing people! So I just know I am going to be having such a laugh. I also recently found a Nikon D40 on eBay for very cheap and so I rather naughtily took the plunge. Going to be taking a lot of photos of places and friends.

If my work experience talks go through I am going to be one smug happy chappy!

Directing a documentary shoot over the week end and it’s going to certainly be interesting. Going to put my style all over it and do it perfectly this time.

I thought Skins was seriously on it, it was a tiny bit rusty, I find first episodes to always be. But overall I thought it was awesome, a new direction if anything. A lot more filmic, a toned down colour palette and a lot of (extreme) close ups.

Just exactly how I love to film drama, ha!

Also, my faith in TV land was slightly restored by the XX advert. It’s just about ten seconds of their big white X symbol on the screen. No audio, no description, no words, nothing but an X.

Just a big white X on black for ten seconds - I don’t like to blog swear, but it’s fucking amazing and so fresh.

I have turned in to someone who can’t wait for the latest episode of something to come out, I have never been like this before.

It was probably BSG that got me in to this… and reading a book on screenplay.

Currently on 24, SIlent Witness and Skins.

I was never a huge fan of TV, odd that I do a TV production course, but I am really starting to ‘get’ structure and it’s exciting.
