Hello 2013( It has been a while)

Hello 2013 its been a while i do apologies for that. But i am back now and ready to get this show on the road. My blog will consist of my life at uni and how i will try(and hopefully succeed in) getting into the big wide world of media. My current University is giving me the biggest chance possible  of getting where i want to go in life. For anybody who reads this i would highly recommend the course at Nottingham Trent as it gives you loads of chances to gain the experience that is required. With the mix of getting work experience with academic work.

At the start of this course i had no experience in either of these two(well not properly) but within the time i have spend at Trent i have grown and grown and now i feel very upbeat about what is going to happen.  I will write some separate posts about the current placements i have got at the moment. I am working at two places at the moment one is at "The Hive" there we are making videos for our boss Sean Macaskill. My main role in the team is sound and film and arranging meetings. My other placement is "White Collar Zoo" this placement has been a lot of hard work but it is starting to have a lot of promise. Before going onto placement i was involved in a competition for Notts TV. We had to produce an ident, marketing campaign and a logo for Notts Tv and we had three weeks to produce everything. After a slow start we managed to pick it up the end and been part of the team that made the ident i was pleased with what we produced in such little time.  This was a great experience for me as i got involved with a competition with bosses in high places and if we could produce a video that was good enough we knew that we would be able to get some good references out of it. But it wasn't to be as even though we produced a brilliant video we feel just short of the other team who impressed the judges more then us. If we had an extra week on the project i feel we could of beat team 1 but they had a brilliant team which was hardworking and its hats off to them.

So that was just a small update on what i have done since my last blog entry and i promise i will keep up to date with it and do a few more posts ok peace out
