This is the first time I've posted on here in almost a month. I dunno why. I've logged and thought about writing but I haven't had much to say. I guess I've been busy with projects and my minds been on other things recently but I'm still feeling positive about the course which is good. There's been some problems recently not least big Sandra's kamikaze dive down the stairs of a close and breaking of his hip. Fanny! However I've seen a change in the class and I think people are starting to feel a bit better about things. I hope they are anyhow.

Project wise I think I'm getting there. Lighting is a bit of a concern but after talking to George who was a massive help I feel like I've got an idea how to go about creating a design and what things I should be taking into consideration when doing so. I'm not very confident with colour. I can think of the way a colour should be say if it's in regard to something which I can picture in my head but colours in an abstract sense are quite challenging. I'm a bit colour blind for a start but I don't think that's the problem. I think it's someting that with work I'll be able to improve on and progress. The same as with lighting. With lighting I'm going to try and spend an evening when everyones away home just messing about with gels and lighting angles to so I can get more hands on experience because I think that's the best way for me to gain confidence and experience for now. I can't say I'm not enjoying the lighting though because it's something totally new to me and very much a challenge.

For now I'm just continuing with my project and I've sorted out a time plan to make sure I prioritise what needs to be done and also give myself time to do it all well. This afternoon went well and this evening I managed to finish off what I had planned to do tomorrow morning. It's worked out well becuase now I can try and get some more lighting work done before the costume class tomorrow. Right I'm off.
