Something is different around here… That’s right; there’s
been a name change. I have never been happy with my blog being called ‘Amie’s
Space’, I never wanted to have my first name in my title and I also never felt
like the title really resembled what the content for my blog was. I have wanted
to change it for a while but it has taken me almost a year to think of
something I wanted to change it to. I wanted a title that allowed me to write
film and entertainment content but allowed room for me to write some more
personal and lifestyle related posts. Last week I finally decided on a new
name. For those wondering, a contemporary ‘B-Roll’ describes supplemental or secondary
footage that helps tell a story, sometimes this includes behind the scenes and
unedited footage. Obviously having a film related term fits perfectly when I post
film related content. But this title leaves room for posts, such as this one, that
are more personal, posts that are unedited and tell you more about me, the
person behind the blog. So welcome to 'The B-Roll' I hope you like what you find.
May was the month where I fully finished my second year of
university, all assignments were handed in and much celebration ensued. I also
spent a week at home at the end of the month, heading home to dog-sit while my
Mam and Dad were on holiday. Going home to see my family and friends from home
was a welcome break. One of my favourite parts of May was my week of blogging
every day. I finally got my blogging mojo back! I don’t mind admitting how much
of a slacker I’ve been with my blog for the majority of this year, I’ve
struggled to find the incentive to blog around university but setting myself
the simple challenge of posting every day really helped me to come up with new
ideas and stick to a schedule no matter what my other commitments were. I covered
a few topics including my second year of PR and Media and film reviewing. I also
reviewed X-Men: Apocalypse, you can read it here. I’m going to try my best to
keep posts coming while I have a lot of free time.
Speaking of free time, I have caught up on a lot of my
favourite shows. I have particularly loved ‘The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ and ‘Penny
Dreadful’. These two shows couldn’t be
more different but they are the two that I loved the most in May. Kimmy Schmidt
is a quirky and hilarious comedy written by Tina Fey and Penny Dreadful is a
Victoria set Gothic Horror Drama featuring some of the most iconic of Gothic
literature characters including Victor Frankenstein and Dorian Gray. I’m currently
working on another list of my favourite binge-worthy TV shows; look out for a
post coming soon.
So what does June look like? Marking the beginning of my
placement year, I will be working on a project with a Sheffield based theatre.
The project is mainly video based and I’m excited to start. I will be producing
a short promotional film similar to ones I’ve worked on before with my friend Lucy.
This will actually be the first time I film and edit the video independently
which will be a little strange. I will also be moving out of my student house
at the end of the month, honestly I can’t wait. Flash back to last July and I
proclaimed how much I loved my new house but the novelty wore off fast once
university started. Now I’m more than ready to leave this house and the
unreliable letting agents behind.
What are your plans for June?
