Showcase Reflection

The 16th of June is a date I'm not going to forget for a very long time. For on this day my year, graduating class of 2016, held our End of Year Show at the iconic and landmark theatre, the Komedia in Bath. It definitely wasn't easy to organise, and I'd be lying if I didn't say our tutors helped us a great deal with organising it. 

One of the issues we had was getting all the videos onto a DVD to project in the theatre. This was difficult because all the videos were exported with different settings and audio levels. So if they were played as-is, some would sound very loud and some will sound quiet, there would be no balance. So to correct this we had to get everyone to re-export there videos with the correct audio settings. So when they were put onto a DVD, they all played evenly.

We also had to put together a guest list and invite people from the industry. Unfortunately, due to time and unforeseen occurrences, a fair few of our invitees couldn't make it. But I was fortunate to have a lot of my friends and family come to support! (As pictured above). I was especially glad that Emily Price could make it! She is the singer and songwriter that performed the song I used in my music video!

Although we had both seen it countless times, this time was the best for us. We both thought it was actually very emotional. It was almost like the end of a journey. And an end months of hard work and planning. But also the beginning of much much more. Emily is so incredibly talented and I can't wait to make more music videos for her! And grow the skills I have already learnt from this course and my tutors.

I was also thankful to be awarded 'Most Dedicated Student', and it's a testament to the hard work it took to complete, and to do well on this course. I'm glad it's over because I'm excited to start a new chapter in my life, but I'm also devastated. This course has been the biggest aspect of my life for the last two years and it's going to be really hard to get used to not having it anymore. I made some incredibly close bonds with some incredibly talented people on my course and I look forward to working with them in future.

But I'd like to thank my tutors most of all, so so much for their patience, kind words and hard work they put into teach us, I greatly appreciate it and hope they're able to continue inspiring future classes for years to come.
