Wednesday
Yesterday a film crew were set up outside, opposite the entrance to Birkbeck college. It was possibly the largest crew, with the most amount of equipment, I've ever seen. They had a swinging crane, a big white screen, and a large lamp, as well as a lot of other stuff in-between. There were lots of people in orange jackets, but I didn't see any actors - not that I examined anything carefully. Every time I walked past (I use that walkway perhaps six times a day) they tried to usher us in a certain direction. It seemed a futile effort - directing thousands of unpredictable students. I think they wanted some as extras, but not everyone. Anyway, once whilst walking past with a friend, we did hear the director shout 'roll video', and so we may have got ourselves into a movie. You never know.

Goodness - the two of you are obviously totally convinced of the value of your "insights". But this is navel gazing to the power of ten. Sixth form media studies reflections on the film industry, and this wedded to the slothful activities of twenty-somethings with nothing better to do than go to the cinema every day or veg out on the sofa. Could you write it in a book instead of putting it out here where adults might come across it? Thanks.
