ITV Work Experience

So I've not posted in like 2 and a bit weeks, which I'm a little bit annoyed about because I told myself I would post at least once a week. Boo me!

BUT I have been super busy, for the past 2 weeks I've been back up at ITV doing some more work experience for Rising Star, which is a new talent show, kinda like the voice, but with a bit of a twist.

(This is the American version, it will be very similar)

The show is in very early stages, so while I was there the team was working on casting, looking for talent, finding songs and cover songs, sending mail and calling the people that wanted to audition etc. It was a lot of fun and really great to see how a show like that started out.

It was hard work, getting up super early (6.30am) to catch the train into London every morning was hell, I'm a fan of sleep, so I was really not used to that. It was so worth it though, I met so many amazing people and got to explore the ITV studios and see what it's like working in TV, which is something I would really love to do.

Anyway, this is just a quick post, if anyone want's any advice on getting work experience or what goes on in a TV office / studio, drop me a line, I'd be happy to had a chat so leave me a comment.

Starting a blog

Hello, hi, hey. Why do people have signature openings and closings to their blogs? I won’t be doing that, nope, not me.

So I’m Alice. I’m 22 and I’m going into my last year of university where I study Film and Screen Studies at Bath Spa. It’s pretty fantastic, but I’m rather scared that I only have one year left, and after this one year is over I have to become and adult. I wont be able to sit around in my pajamas all day eating nutella out of a jar while watching countless episodes of come dine with me / the millionaire matchmaker / the big bang theory. I’ll have to get a real job. 

This will be the third - no wait - fourth blog I have started, out of the other three, only one was slightly successful, but considering that was a university project that I had to keep up with I suppose it doesn’t count. The other two contained about 3 posts, then I forgot about them, good one Alice. I am, however going to make this one work. Hopefully.

Basically I want to document my last ‘free’ summer and my last year at university, not all the boring lectures and stuff, just anything that goes on in my life while I’m there. I’ve got to a point where I only do what I am required to do. If I don’t have to do something I wont, and I feel pretty lazy about that. So I’ve decided, once again, to try out this whole blogging malarky. I’m going to set myself a schedule, where I post once a week, and then if I have something extra to say/show I will. 

That’s it I suppose. First post done! What an achievement, go me, pat on the back! 

Bye.

p.s - here’s a picture of my face.
