Age is but a number

As time flies by things start to change,

Your nipples scrape the floor,

Your skin starts to age,

Hairs grow from your chin and wont go away,

You start to go deaf,

And misunderstand what I say,

Your arse gets flatter,

And dimples appear,

Underneath all of this you are still here,

You start to go blind,

And need Jam Jars to see,

You are so kind,

You mean so much to me,

As old age sets in,

You forget our names,

Shouting anything from Fred, Harry and Dave,

Your pits and legs like a lions mane, 

Cos you can never be bothered to shave,

But at the end of the day,

 I wouldn't change a thing,

Cos life without you is worth nothing.

Twisted Branches

  I created this trailer whilst in college. I was part of a team of six, the task had to be completed within three days which included pre and post production.  My job roles were to write the script, acting and performing a recce. As we were getting marked on editing we each edited our own versions of the trailer.

 I really enjoyed doing this project as we got to film outside and in different locations.  Whilst on location we had a boom mic, tripod, radio mic and light reflectors. The camera we used was a DSLR.  We had six hours to shoot the footage and get the equipment back to the college.  We each then had one day to edit the footage. I edited the footage using Final cut pro. I found the software relatively simple to use however the text tools were hard to find and use.

 I really enjoyed doing this project as I got to feel as part of a real production and was useful in how I had to develop my communication skills. If I were to do this project again I would have liked to have taken a different role within the crew as camera work is something I enjoy. 

Friendship

You hide behind a mask,

And fool everyone you know,

But everytime I look into your eyes I see pain,

I see your soul screaming out for help,

And yet no one lends their heart,

Don't fight it...

Let me in,

I give you my heart, 

I give you my soul, 

And I Give you my love.

And together we can find the light.

First Post

Ever since before I can remember I have loved film. The magical feeling that over comes me with every programme or film I consume. I would draw pictures of my ideas of films and programmes on a magnetic drawing board. As I got older I would use this as a way to blank out the rest of the world. Whether that be from bullying at school or parents getting divorced my imagination and films world I created was always there for me. Helping me to stay strong. Now I have many scripts, stories and ideas all written down. Some have many drafts and others have been made into short films or vines. Although I have made detours along the way with completing a joinery course and travelling, I realised that it was always mean't to be film that I wanted and needed to have a career in. So I did a media course and came to University which is where I am now.
