Cool. Now when I picture you saying your posts, I'll know I'm doing so accurately (can't say that for most users).

Do you enjoy Photography?. (outside of shooting films per se)

Like I said, I really liked taking photos when I was younger, and while the excitement for it has faded, a part of me when I whip out my phone to take a picture, see's me finding the most striking position in terms of framing. I piss off a couple of mates because of how long it might take me to take a picture.

Precisely.

Been feeling down the last couple of days after receiving some disheartening feedback that I'm not quite sure how to take.

Ah, the last film I ended working on ended up being a real doozy. The crew I was put in was incredibly lazy, the camera guy didn't bother to learn how to use camera which infuriated me since that was the role I was pining to get, the director couldn't be bothered to work out the scenes which made days drag on, sound operator was always hungover or would flat out not turn up. This led to tones of delays, and then on the final day of shooting, our main actor dropped out, after filming two of the most complicated shoots he simply would ignore our calls.

So I planned out and executing an extra two days shoot with the two more reliable actors (our director ended up pulling a disappearing act as well) working around the footage we got. And then I worked my arse of through editing, leaving me with little over two weeks to get a film together, and the support people shows was immense and they actually enjoyed it, claiming it was one of the better films from the year group. But when we presented it to the assessors, they were horribly patronising, one of them was using their phone through our presentation. I felt like they were going to engage with the film and ask questions towards out themes and the techniques we pulled, but they simply asked obvious questions.

I'd send the feedback and final grade through PM's (since I'm not sure if I could get in trouble for posting actual assigned work online). But there's stuff on it that were the fault of the other team members, and other stuff that could of been easily cleared up if they had engaged with us more in the presentation. It has a lot of praise directed at me, but it sucks to see my grade effected so badly due to other people's laziness.

I'm only two marks off between getting a 2:1 or a 1

It's how the UK ranks University degrees; in order lowest to highest (if you get one):

Pass, Third class honours (3), Lower Second class honours (2:2 - pronounced two-two), Upper Second class honours (2:1 - pronounced two-one), First class honours (1) - some Universities also have a First with Distinciton for real high flyers throughout their whole course.

These apply in either Arts or Science subjects so if get any one the honours in a science subject you are entitled to BSc Hons after your name (Bachelor of Science (Honours)... arts equivalent BA Hons... if you 'only' get a pass you drop the Hons. Depending on the university attended thre is I believe a code after that to indicate, but unless it's a prestigious one, it's not usually bothered with... BSC Hons (Oxon) is Oxford for exemple; I know mine is BSc (Exon) for Exeter... and I know a friend I went to Uni with who practiced writing curly letter Es so they might look like Os

My essay mark managed to boost the overall grade!

Dude, too soon to be joking about this after our last row.

Maybe you've answered this before, but why Foggy? You ever worry that you're inviting people to replace the 'o' with an 'a'? (Sorry, if I give trolls an idea.)

Not really, I wouldn't get offended if anyone did it because it's a bit pathetic and likelihood if anyone was to use it to attack, they'd probably get a quick suspension. I think it's already happened on a few occasions but I think for the most part the people on the site are fairly respectful and/or at least a little more witty.

True. It would be so easy to call you Pawgy, given your clear similarities to a curvaceous white woman.
