One of the best things about taking media at degree level is the variety of assignments you're given. Today in script and screenwriting, we got into groups of four and were each given a very large fancy looking hand-held camera and a boom gun (kick ass furry microphone). We were then told to scram and make a (very) short film about a character. Ours was about a ghost. Anyway, that's my news for today. About half an hour ago we went to Morrison's and bought loads of different types of cheese.
A boring blog post by JOANNA.

Yeaahhhhhhhh University.
So, I promised I would eventually write some sort of bloggy type thing when I arrived in windy Lincoln. However; even from this have I procrastinated, but mainly due to a lack of a decent camera. I mean, a blog isn't a blog without some super kick-ass pictures, right? Anyway, it doesn't matter because I can just upload some videos instead and the pictures will no doubt follow when I can be bothered to pay £400 for a Digital SLR. Suh.
Today, me and fellow media student Daniel Swanton (also but not exclusively my boyfriend) went to record a zombie Apocalypse in the radio studio. With us, came voice actor (lol) Max Wallace; editor, Ray somethingorother; Northern accent, Adam wedon'tknowhislastname and general commentator, Mark Wood. The totally rad script (written by me and Dan) featured a bad-ass survivor living in Lincoln center, which was a lot more interesting than "Why are tattoos so popular in the 21st centuryyyy?" My incredibly sexy voice played the Siren Radio broadcaster who saved the bad-ass right at the very end. Mmm, noodles.
Meanwhile, while Dan's been playing Little Big Planet, I've been spending my time constructively by editing that film I said I'd never finish. Parts I and II now finally released, Part III is ready and waiting for enough demand. You can see Part II here:
I'd say watch it in High Definition, but I honestly don't think that it makes a huge amount of difference.
Outtakes are available beloooooow.
For anyone who's interested, here's the storyline so far.
Rupert (Dan Swanton), an isolated teenager from England spends most of his time alone. His only real interest revolves around a fantasy world in his imagination, called Nowhere. In Nowhere, the sky is a blanket and the stars are sleeping dragons. Even the mountaintops have an opinion. However; one day he is approached by Northern party-goer, Gregg (Josh Jones), whose comatose friend, Megan (Leonora Mayall) is in need of some water. After dragging Lily through town to meet her parents, Gregg invites Rupert to a fancy dress party to show his gratitude. Inexplicably, Rupert decides to attend. At the party, Rupert is confronted by Gregg, who interrogates him about Nowhere. Later that night and in no mood to sleep, Rupert moves to the kitchen to find a couple still very much awake. Here, he meets a mysterious girl in a mask who leads him upstairs. To Rupert's amazement, she dances for him. The next morning, he finds her gone, but a drawing of Nowhere by the bed. Six months later, and Rupert is at university. Bain, a huge bloke with a shaved head and a love of leather introduces himself in the library. To be continued when I can be bothereededed!

My Brother, Pt III
On the phone, to my brother.
ME: "Should I spend £20 to have my nipples cut off?"
BARNABY: "Yeaaaaaahhh twenty pounds! ... Nipples! .... Pounds."
