So things have kicked off. I feel like I’ve jumped into the deep end of the pool and then immediately forgotten how to swim, and oh by the way the swimming pool people imported sharks yesterday and I have ten minutes (or two weeks) until they eat me. So yeah, overwhelmed you might call it.

My group had a really good chat last week to nail down the details of each of our films which had been whimsical up until that point. But it left me realising how much work we have to do.

Here’s the list of things I was supposed to get done before tomorrow;

• write a conspiracy concept for the essay film
• film elements and play for the poem film
• start drafting the written elements of the essay film and have segments that we can start filming
• look at stock footage options for poem film
• edit photos for essay film

Here’s the list of things I did do;

• conspiracy concept (Harry wrote his before me and we’re using it because it’s way better then anything I was going to come up with)
• film elements for poem film (some of them. all are bad. I’m glad I didn’t decide to become a filmmaker I’m not good at it)
• I have a notebook page with thoughts about the essay film rhyme we wanna use – getting to the other stuff
• cried (not just about this though my life is very dramatic and I put a lot of stress on myself)
• promise myself that tonight I WILL do everything on the former list in the whole like 12 hours I have before class tomorrow (suffice it to say I am intimately acquainted with caffeine)
• chat with Mon about who is going to do the written part

But progress is progress I guess and the faith that it will all come together because it has to is what is keeping me going right now. We took on a lot.

I did make these very cute Jabberwocky wings, as we decided that was the way the audience would be able to tell what was the Jabberwocky in our poem film, anyway the wings were for my cats (they hate them, and me now)

But they feel like the only thing I have really accomplished and I am proud of them so here they are. Yes I coloured them black myself.

Anyway, that’s the update for this week. A lot of things left to do, and a lot of hope that it’s all going to work out in the end.
