So I’ve finished on the set of The Hidden Persuaders today. Was in charge of boom operating again and did my short scene in the afternoon. I have to say though, it was SO hot today! Everyone was sweating like mad when we had to film in the flat x.x I think I heard we only had fifteen minutes to film in the Chinese takeaway, but we were done pretty quickly. We didn’t get the wide shot because something in the kitchen was making this really irritating ticking sound that was too loud to hear the dialogue: speaking louder wouldn’t make any difference, so we just left that out.
Finished work experience yesterday
I’m sad! haha. It was really good. The first two days were a little dull, but Wednesday was pretty awesome: we learned about the Scottish Dance Theatre and I’m considering joining one of their available dance classes. One of the women that worked there (sorry, name escapes me) explained to me about which ones I could join and there’s about three… so I’ll think about it later in the holidays and give her a call: they don’t start until August.
Apart from that, I’m joining kickboxing classes with a friend and still doing spin class. Also trying to get back in running!
No update on my short film yet. We need to film a few abstract clips to add in, reshoot a few and then of course find the unlicensed music to fit in! So I’ll update you on that at a later date. Currently working on a script because I’m planning to do a new dark, narrative, type thing. Huh great description! haha. I’m on the look for voice actors and have two people auditioning.

So I had my drama exam today! It went really well, I think. It helped that the examiner was so nice and we didn’t make any noticable mistakes. Actually…none I don’t think. I did stumble on my second last line on Wednesday night when we had to perform in front of the parents, but I don’t think I did in the exam =D That I can remember, anyway.
And we were actually so lucky, because we were given an improvisation (you get a prompt or theme twenty minutes before the exam to prepare) that was really similar to one we’d practiced with, so we just altered it and basically used the one we had practiced for three hours on the Sunday rehearsal.
Just for your information, we constitutes as my brother and I. I did it with him because I was a grade behind my friends (since I backed out of the Grade 5 exam last year) and didn’t want to do a monologue. I think I worked better with other people that acting by myself. I probably COULD have done some dramatic and sad scene, but… decided not to.
After swimming today, I’ve been so tired =( But I have noticed I’m getting slimmer! These weeks or exercising almost every day are finally paying off! Yay! Although I’m having to deal with my parents telling me if I get any skinnier, I’ll be invisible. It really pisses me off because I know I’m not skinny (and no I’m not one of those morons that is 10 year old girl skinny and denies it), I’m kind of slim but still classify as average. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I want to have the skinny androgynous sorta look. I LIKE that look. Then I can wear badass outfits and look GOOD =)
A lot of you are going to say I sound stupid, but whatthehell..
