Future Investment and Planning for Previously Mentioned Future

COME AT ME BRO!

Starting this blog has actually made me shit my pants at the prospect of leaving university. It never really hit me that from now on I wouldn’t be able to get that extra free cheeseburger at McDonalds, or that I wouldn’t get free money 3 times a year. Everything has changed since I hit that 'Publish' button yesterday.

 So, realising that it’s now me vs. the world I decided on a course of action. Given that this module is all about personal development and forward planning, I did the most mature and professional thing I could possibly do. I identified my strengths and weaknesses, developed a list of goals to achieve, drew up an action plan and oh FUCK IT I PANICKED AND BOUGHT A CAMERA FOR £550!!!

 Yes. I did something any normal student would do and forget everything I’ve learned about responsibility. It’s a Canon 550d with an 18-55 mm lens (like I know what the fuck that is).

I hope to God it’s this

 It  was a bit of a rash decision to be fair. My main specialism is not cinematography, nor have I ever used a DSLR camera for longer than five minutes. Mayyyybe this wasn’t the smartest decision I’ve ever made. I also bought it with my student loan money, which technically isn’t mine and is, you know, something I’ll have to pay back in the future.

 But you know what? I have a camera now. I have my own camera. This is a good thing. It's a wise investment! You know, film-makers need cameras. They also need scripts. I have all that wrapped up in one swift purchase. Right now, I technically have everything I need to make a movie. So there's nothing to stop me! I even have Final Draft!

Suck it!

 Man, this industry contexts module is easy as balls!
