week9/ holidays

No work was done in week 9 but i got in touch with Daniel at open chanell and organised to come in a day during the holidays. On wednaes day the 1st i worked for 5 hours at open chanell, there was not much to do as Nathan was there aswell, i did a bit of admin sort of stuff such as going through a big folder and finding anything to do with jobs in the video industry and flaging each section, it reminded me of an offace job like in sinefeld when george gets the Penski file. It was rather boreing but i understand that there is always going to be that side to a job. I sat in on a lecture from a first assistant director Brendon Campbell (i think), it was rather interesting as i did not realise how many different types of directors jobs there are, and that the 1st, 2nd and 3rd assistant directors do completly different things to a director. The job of a first assistant director sounds really hard as they need to know so much stuff about what is going on in the movie and need to plan out every little thing. Im thinking twice about following this path as a career, but it is still a good experience, and im still to see what its like to help out with production.
