Borunemouth England, Film production: The first weeks in University

I have been here for some weeks now, and I'm starting to get used to the English life style. What I notice myself is that I understand more English, than what I can speak myself, so I try everyday to be a sponge that sucks in new words in my vocabulary . Does it work? No idea!

Since last time I wrote, the International orientation week has ended, and we have got our first projects. We ended the International Orientation week with a Jurassic tour, witch took us into the English country side with castle, village, mountain side and beaches. It was a beautiful tour, with a lot of walking. The most exiting part was the bus trip, because part of the roof of the duble-dekker bus was missing. driving through the the trees was a totally new experience, both joyful, exiting, and a little bit dangerous.

After a quick tour of the film-production part of the campus, we where introduces to our tutors, and we got both our first two projects with our first two unit books.

In the unit Production processes we are currently working on the "one still"-project. Find a location, shoot an image, based up on one of two words: Solitude or suspicion. Afterwards we are going to make a storyboard. This will later lead us into choosing a storyboard within selected groups, and shoot on real film with a Bloex camera. Very exiting!

 In our storytelling unit, every student has got their own picture and/or word(s) on a piece of paper. This  project is called: Idea factory, and last until May, end of this school year. It is all about gathering as much as information and research as possible out of the piece of paper. In the end our howl journey should be documented in details.

At the same time of these two projects, we are going through some health and safety lectures, that is all about preparing us for a test we have to pass, to be allowed on to a movie set.

Every week has been interesting and new, and I just can not wait until we finish the introductions part, and start on the real work. producing movies.

Before I end this post, I want to add the beautiful experience I had with helping prepare and plan a surprise birthday party to one of my classmates. He should have know how much pack and forth, confusion we had, and so on, but it was a success, and he seemed pretty happy with the result!
