Blog #2 Whats Happening?

I have fallen in love with Glasgow because two things that made it unique are statues with cones on its head and the beautiful architecture, even the university of Glasgow feels like Hogwarts.

Now it has been nearly two months of university, and I don't think I have settled yet. Please do not worry; I have been going to lectures and Brewdog as well, which is up the road. "I love a good Punk!".

I am not sure if I have explained, but I will say is that the course encourages me to do blogging for the course itself and the progress of my project which at the moment haven't reached the bottom of the concept yet, but that will be coming up soon.

The best part of the course is the first semester. Its all about the planning even possibly getting into semester two aswell. I did have a project idea as part of the application that I used to get on to the course, but right now, it is quite tricky finding it. As I have been encouraged to take a step back and look at myself and my knowledge plus what kind of gifts I have like things that I'm good at, for example, I have done a degree in animation. Using this gift, I decided to link back to the technique that I used in my final film. So it is helping me think even more deeply about the project even thinking outside of the box. Hopefully have something to stick with, knowing my self it is going to be a challenging year because I keep going off the tangent like I always do.

So for me, the lectures have been impressive as it relates to some of the things that I knew. Still, my favourite lecture was the camera work as now I have thorough knowledge of understanding certain parts on the camera and playing with some fantastic cameras that I never thought I would be using it in a million years. Even if I only had 3 to 4 hours of sleep, I have never been hyper or full of energy. It was pretty fun. Not only that the lectures include screenings, but it helps me understand filmmaking like the haptics, concepts and storyboarding. I am kind of glad that the course back to my Animation degree. Even knowing does hopefully help out other students, fingers crossed.

Deaf-Blind

Finally, I would like to mention that Deaf-Blind Scotland came over to the university and was in one of our lectures, and out of it was a memorable time at the university or the course. Which was pretty fun even relating to my experiences and also understanding their experience as a blind person, but it was terrifying imagining what could happen in the future and being in their shoes. Still, I may write about this in my next blog about my experiences. I am very much looking forward to sharing my knowledge and understand why it was a memorable time of what happened during the lecture.

Many apologies, I feel like this blog is all over the place, but the central part is that I have written all about it and hopefully it is clear enough to understand.

I hope you enjoyed my second blog.

God Bless

Oliver.
