Lights, Camera, Action (Work Experience – Day Four)
I can’t believe how quickly this week has gone by. It feels like the all the days in the week has just flashed before my eyes and it’s already Thursday which means my time at Rockstar is drawing to a close in just 24 hours…
I’ve just realised that over the past week that I have spent at Rockstar Memoirs, it has been highly focused around videoclips and today was no diffrent. When I say it was no diffrent, I don’t mean that I got to master more skills in the art of Final Cut Express but I did get involved in a videoclip shoot. Jeremy, Michael S and I got to spend the whole day shooting video snippets (I think it’s for the Rockstar website?) where the staff of Rockstar Memoirs got to dress up in a ‘high school stereotype’ and answer a bunch of questions in the way that their character would. It was quite amusing to see a few of the Rockstar crew get into character because beleive it or not, alot of these graphic designers/creative consultants make amazing actresses/actors. I got the opportunity to hold the ‘boom mike’ (I know, cool name eh? 
) while Jeremy shot each take. You never really appreciate the art of being a director of photography for a video when you’ve never been on a set before but now that I have it actually seems like a tough job because sometimes there are interruptions in the background noises and etc that you just can’t avoid. Today was definitely the best day that I’ve had at Rockstar so far. It was really good to get active after sitting down infront of a laptop for the past two days (even though I missed editing videos today 
). Jeremy and Michael S… If you’re reading this I have to say that it’s been such a pleasure working with the both of you, you both make me laugh so much with all your jokes and quick wit!
To top off what was already such a lovely day… The Rockstar crew gave Amelia and Emily a very sweet birthday surprise filled with lots of laughs and the all important banana and chocolate cake. So to Amelia and Emily, Happy Birthday! I hope all your dreams come true and always remember to reach for the moon but even if you fail, you’re still a star in the sky
