The ball is rolling

So now things are going with a bang and a boom! Ok, not quite. I just got back from meeting with Phillip, and now I am determined to keep in contact with him and keep up with this project. I've got my confidence back now so I think I can do it.
Still, the meeting did make me feel that my ideas are really haphazard right now. I'm so paranoid I think things like 'everyone else in the class is probably half way through their project by now and I haven't even started!'
But as I said before- small steps. I've got an idea of the things I should be doing immedietly, because it's more important to think about what you can do in the present. Before I start thinking about finding subjects to film, I need to write a detailed treatment to show exactly what I want the film to be about. If I can give others a clear idea of what the film will be like, it'll help me visualise it too. At least I think that's how it works...
I also have to do the assessment agreement to hand in next week (that's just to decide exactly how the project will be marked) think about things like style, content and visuals and doing a screen test to see how I like the look and sound of myself on screen.
That last one has given me an idea - This weekend is Valentines day and since I haven't gotten any people to film yet, how about I take out a video camera from the university and shoot a little screen test of my thoughts and feelings on valentines day? I could even get some footage of contacting my boyfriend, or reading the sappy poem I wrote for him (or is that a little too much?)
Ok so I'm more or less back on track now and things are finally happening.
BUT...
I forgot to go to the office and book time in the Broadcast Lab!! Three steps foreward, one step back...
