The first week was fantastic. It was new and exciting and finished up on a great note. Now the second week picks up a notch. Each team has now been given separate assignments to do and present on Wednesday. Ours is to present something about one of our characters.
Sounds fairly straightforward but Eddie has hit a block or two and the ideas aren’t flowing as easily. Partly to do with navigating through unfamiliar territory in how he is going about this. Partly to do with not getting the two days off and working 11 straight days. I think Eddie has been quite courageously going out of his “creative comfort zone”. He’s like a bunjee jumper who has made the leap but occasionally realises how terrifying the idea of it is. The tutors are on it, I watch them do their thing and see what I can learn from them.
While Eddie goes about tackling the existentialist problems I’m being given some other assignments. One involves analyzing films, which I enjoy. Another involves making a 90 second promo. And anther involves a violin. Much strangeness but i can’t complain. Bryan, Matt C and Sophie have to make a 40 minute “proof of concept”. Matt Bate has to wear a wire and hit the streets. I only have a vague idea of what we are presenting on Wednesday. I don’t think I’ll know that much more this time tomorrow either. But for some reason, I’m sure it’ll all be ok.
