Amazingly the gorgeous sunshine lasted through the weekend and far into this week. For the first time since coming to Glasgow I actually had trouble sleeping because it was too hot! Crazy.
Monday started with John and me in a tutorial with Adam for our web-drama idea. We came to the conclusion that we need to just try writing some of it, to get a feel for the comedy which I’m very excited to have a go at… if I can find the time!
Surprisingly classes have not finished yet despite having four assignments on the go and being in Production for our end-of-year film. We looked at scene-by-scene structuring with Kim for our stories for Coronation Street and it was rather pleasant to be told that we have now acquired skills almost beyond what is required for writing on Hollyoaks! Mercifully we got no homework.
Notwithstanding the regular production update sessions that punctuated this week the highlight was most certainly the auditions for the character of Beau which took place on Thursday evening. Five boys, ages ranging from six to ten, gathered for a very informal – very fun – audition workshop. I love youth work so this was a most enjoyable experience for me and an affirmation that I am in fact on the right course. Where else would I even be allowed to sing songs, play games, juggle, act and hang out with kids never mind be asked to do it! I was very impressed with Charlotte who was fun, friendly, gentle and relaxed around the kids and equally confident with the parents. All in all it was a great experience and I think if any of those guys enjoyed it even half as much as I did then it was a success.
Having failed to record even a single frame on the shoot for Dust the night before (a tragic story I must save for another time) Murdo removed all the kit from my flat and we transported it back to Academy. Ah, disappointment is bitter to the taste.
On the up side we only had a relatively brief production update that afternoon and then it was the weekend! Although the summer weather had passed on the summer feeling was still growing strong in my heart along with a sunshine of love for all the world!! And with that double helping of cheese I leave to hide my face in shame.
