We had our proposal with David today, which went well. We’d organised our first blog post using the structure in the module guide, so describing our project was easy enough. David asked a few questions regarding our Aims & Objectives, told Rob and I that we should tighten our Learning Outcomes up slightly, making them more personal and perhaps put the important points in bold. We also cleared up some lingering issues we had regarding research for our course, and David had a look at our blogs, before we left at 11.30.

We then met up later on in the day after lunch, and had a very quick meeting purely to organise our time over the next two weeks, as we’ve taken on a couple of extra-curricular projects. One involves sourcing ambiences and atmospheres, and also doing some Foley work for the film Callback, which Matt North, an Audio Production graduate, is editing and mixing. The other is the short film Agroculture, that Tom Price, the editor of Cognition, co-wrote, directed and shot over the summer, which we will be doing post production sound for. We’ve prioritised Callback, as the deadline for the first few scenes is 30th October, and also because Tom hasn’t set a deadline. That doesn’t mean we’ll rest on our laurels, just that we’ll spend the first few days working on Callback to ascertain how much work will be required. Unfortunately our arranged hours of 16.00 to 19.00 most evenings wasn’t possible to book, because Media Loans has implemented an odd three hour block booking system, I would guess in an attempt to allow more people to use the facilities. The only time we can book is 15.00 to 18.00 though, which conflicts with several other things we have on, and 18.00 to 21.00 is too late, so hopefully something can be done about this.
