Direction Unit: Waterloo Road Update

after a much needed discussion with Simon it was decided that the scene for my direction unit was to complicated, so after a quick search on the o'l web I was able to find a considerably easier scene.

In this scene Rose the Mother of one of the pupils Sam has gone home and has started drinking as she has just found out that Sam has cancer. Tom the head of the English department goes round to the house to find Rose passed out on the sofa.

The script has been completed and awaiting the final alterations not bad for a mornings work :)

Commission Unit - Update Ideas for Documentary

Direction Unit- Update Character Profile

This Post is to do with the performance workshop
Finn Sharkey Waterloo Road

Young loudmouthed class disrupting pupil. Constantly in trouble. Problems spur from the neglecting issues he has from his parents. Where there is a problem Sharkey can usually be found at the base of it.

However when it comes to relationships he is something of a ladies man, his boyish looks and bad-boy daredevil attitude means that he is an instant hit with the ladies. Finn is deeply insecure almost luring Amy Porter into a suicide pact. He relies on friends and girls to cope with the challenges he faces. Finn is still getting over the loss of his longterm girlfriend Sambuca who died during the last series.

Over all Finn is the bad-boy of Waterloo Road.

Direction Unit- Update

I have chosen the scene that I am going to do an adaptation of.
The scene is from Series 5 episode 1 where two schools merge together Waterloo Road & John Fosters "the posh school" Ideas for how I am going to adapt this idea are on-going but now I have the basis of my idea to build on
- more to follow soon

Direction Unit: Waterloo Road

I have chosen after much deliberation to adapt a few scenes from the BBC drama series Waterloo Road. As far my idea has only gone as far as to decide that it is going to be set in the university environment and that in someway it is going to be greatly different from the actual BBC series. More updates will follow

Project Update - Direction Unit

We have been briefed to direct  a 3 min project based on a TV Drama series, specifically how can we apply our own style to the series.
My initial thoughts were "How can I make the series that I choose my own?
What is my style?
How can I make this work the best piece I have done so far

These questions will be answered as the project develops
