Exposure TV: The home of fun, tears and new friendships.

Hiya Peeps!

Who knew a University project could change a person so much?!

On 15th April 2013, me and a bunch of my University classmates embarked on our biggest project to date; Exposure TV. It was the most petrified I've even been in my life, because I have no idea how to Produce, Direct, Vision Mix and Floor Manage amongst other things and actually be good at it.

It turns out, projects like this actually DO change people. And I'm one of those people. I literally had no idea how I was going to cope during the two weeks and I probably spent at least 60% of the time crying. But during the other 40% of the project, a new 'me' was emerging, and it's a new 'me' that I'm kind of excited about. There's this little thing inside of me that's telling me that I can do things, and I can achieve and I'm actually quite good at some of the things I'm doing.

There's this other great thing about Exposure, too. I haven't just met new colleagues from the Uni through this project, but I've met some new friends who I hope will stick with me for life. When we started working on this thing, never did I think that I'd leave with a whole round of new friends and for that I'm hugely grateful. I also came out of it with stronger bonds with some of my friends and classmates, and built on those relationships that already meant the world to me.

Exposure TV was the most fun I've had in ages, and to think that it's been an academic University project is NUTS. I know I whinged and moaned and cried the whole way through, I can honestly say I loved every minute. I learned things about the industry and achieved things in a working environment that I never thought I could, but I also learned more about myself than I ever thought possible. This experience will stick with me for life, and is something that I know I'll look back on and have absolutely no regrets and memories of fun, laughter and friendship.

Take care, stay beautiful and dream big!
Lots of love,
