Adele emailed me asking to discuss a proposal she had that would alter my SDP, but would be a great opportunity; we had a meeting at uni and she offered me the chance to do an AUCB production instead of the film that would make up part 2 of painting for inspiration. She said I could still carry on with the styling part as there is no script at the moment for the AUCB production and I should try to have it done by Easter at the latest so when a script does arrive I can focus all my efforts on it. I would be designing the costumes for SDP and then when I return for third year in September I will work on the live production bringing my designs to life. I would work closely with Rhiannon Price, who is in my year, as she will be desiging the set.
I had a think about this offer and decided that it was too good an opportunity to let it go. While I want to experience film and possibly pursue it in the future I feel that the AUCB production will allow me to exercise my skills as a designer in a more rewarding way. The film would only be a short 5 minute film and the costumes would be interpreted from a painting whereas I will be able to create designs from scratch in a creative way and then be a part of bringing a complete show to life which excites me more than the film opportunity. Adele mentioned that the project will probably be quite scary at first as I am quite shy and I will have to talk to actors and directors but that ultimately the experience of designing the production will raise my confidence and help me to progress as a designer. I feel I am ready to embrace this challenge and step up to the mark, because if I can't do it now when will I? I am also relieved that I will not be in charge of the set design as it is not my strong point and I feel a lot more confident dealing with costumes. Also this way I can focus my time purely on the costumes and not get lost in thinking about the set as has sometimes happened on other projects. I feel that this will give me a real experience of being a designer and I cannot wait to get started.
