Busy, busy, busy.

Ok, so I had underestimated how busy I was going to be in the first few weeks of my MA in Wildlife Documentary Production, but along with planning my wedding, it's been hectic! Very fun though. The course is great and we're learning so much. All the lecturers are fantastic and really know their stuff. A special mention has to go out to Paul Reddish however, an inspiring lecturer and a producer who worked at the BBC NHU for a long time, and consequently knows everyone - including Sir David Attenborough!

In the last month I have had lectures on Camera Skills, Editing, Sound Recording, Production Skills, Biodiversity, Animal Behaviour. We have been on field trips to look at the ecosystems of trees and woodland, and tomorrow we will be visiting Martin Mere to see the huge variety of birds they have there. I hope to get a few photos which may be worthy of entry into the WWT annual photo competition.

We have been set our Minor Projects as well as other assignments. I never knew how much work would have to go into producing even a short 5 minute piece such as this! Our group have decided that our project will be on the reintroduction of the European otter to Cheshire, and the ball is now fully rolling on that one. We know who, where and how we're going to shoot, we just need to perfect our interview skills and sound recording then we will be good to go.

I will post again soon - perhaps!
