My Into The New Experience

So for the last few days I have found myself logging into blogger

followed by typing 'My Into The New Experience' into the Title box just above

and then just sitting. Staring into space. Because I have no idea what I think about the whole thing. All I know is that everyone seems to have such a strong opinion on the matter.



So out of the performances I saw, I:

-liked 3 out of 4
-was slightly frightned by 2
-knew one person performing, 2 if you count the one i didnt film
-couldnt understand why sand was used/the meaning behind it
-found one hilarious
-found another very moving
-realised that the other groups perhaps drew the short straws, as none of us felt the need to throw up at any given point
-am kind of glad it's over because a) i am tired and b) there were some akward moments when I had no idea how to act.

Like during Becky's performance, which I really did enjoy.
I know Becky from Junction25 so when I saw I was filming her I was really quite excited. I have no doubt that she is very talented and I know her as being a lovely person.. but when she walked on stage naked I didn't really know how to react. Julia said my face was rather priceless, looking around the room; up at the celing and down at my feet and akwardly checking to see if the tape was in and timecoding time and time again.. before Becky shouts 'sorry Lucy, I should have warned you'. Well I'm looking forward to seeing her on Saturday..

..her performance was brilliant though. At one point I certainly had a tear in my eye, but I couldnt help but think how distracting it was that she was naked, when her moving performance was about her family. That I couldn't understand.

But at least with Becky's I saw the point.
What I dont see the point in is rolling around in sand.
Unless your exfoliating or something
and I don't even see the point in that really.


I think It's quite easy to get into the habbit of making fun of the CPP course as a whole. I don;t really think this is fair. I know that alot of it can be pointless and self-indulgent. Sometimes the performer can seem like they are keeping a secret from you. As if to say; 'haha I know what I mean and you don't know what I know. fools.'

But it's not everything!
I couldn't stress enough how much I admire Jess and Tash
and how being in Junction25 has allowed me to really come out of my shell and...

...oh no. I've become all mushy-gushy.
I've gone all 'where is the loooove?' - (Will-I-am)

Yeah. I'll let you watch this and play a game of 'wheres Lucy' and then I'll get back to the point





So back to the point now.

I think that I work so much better with the cameras now.
I feel that when theres a purpose to put up a camera, I put up a camera much faster.
I felt quite under pressure at times, mostly from the Arches dudes who I have a feeling were not expecting a bunch of 'wee girls'
who were NOT dressed innappropriately.
This filming experience has certainly given me confidence in filming future projects
and i cannot wait to get started on 'Home'
