I thoroughly enjoyed last Tuesday’s session where we were all given the opportunity to pitch for our chosen area over the next few months. The Gothic season really stood out to me from the start, so this was my chosen area to pitch for. I felt pretty unprepared for the presentation but I think after our presentation skills workshop I managed to convey my ideas relatively successfully. It was absolutely fantastic hearing everyone else’s ideas and seeing how enthusiastic everyone also felt. I am so pleased with the other people I’m going to be working with as they all seem to be hugely creative and I think the group is going to have a great mix of talents and skills that will hugely compliment each other. I’m really hoping my event design background will be of benefit to the project.

I’m currently watching films from the Gothic season information we were given and am really enjoying researching the genre. I’ve also been looking at the company ‘Compass Presents’, who will hopefully be mentoring us through the project and am really looking forward to possible discussions and collaboration with them as their work sounds amazing.

I’m over the moon to be working on the project and cant wait for the ideas to flow.
