See you later Hollyoaks!

well.... was my last day at Hollyoaks today - as a work experience girl hopefully!
I've had a fantastic time and really learnt lots - even if its only things like if a freezer had been turned off for 3 months and has cream trifles in then not to empty it as it will stink the whole building out!
I really enjoyed all the opportunites and enjoyed being on shoot but loved being on the dressing team.
I want to say thanks to everyone there especially those in the dressing department who made it fun so I didnt mind as much that I wasn't getting paid!
I will be back soon though hopefully!!
take care guys and thanks!!!

Being an Extra!!

I've been on shoot for the past week which is definately a contrast from being on the dressing team. It seemed like you have less to do andthere is quite a bit ofsittingaround while they take etc. If there are 6 characters 1 on one side ofthe room and the others on the otherside of the room,they will shoot the whole scene facing one way and then the whole scene facingthe other way and then the whole scene again on each character. Its supposed to make it a lot easier when they are editing it, but you have to really watch the continuity side of it.
I've enjoyed being on shoot and it was interesting to watch but it's less hands on than the dressing team which I prefer.
However today I did get to be an extra - other you probably won't be able to see me at all! but hey its my claim to fame!
