Internship

For the last four weeks (not including easter) I have been working at Flimmer Film in Bergen as an internship. Here we got to see how a production company in Bergen works, and the people here are really nice and give us projects to do on things they are working with. Been doing some transcribing for the first time which I thought was an okay job to do, even though you sometimes can get annoyed at the person talking with all his/hers uhms and aaaahs and uuuuhs. I also got to edit a scene in a documentary about death they were doing which was great, because I've done little editing even though I like it, so I also learned a lot the weeks I was here. Unfortunately I lost a whole week because I was home sick. I am now on the last day here and even though I am looking forward to go back to school, I am gonna miss this place where I felt very welcomed.

Filmschool

Since I was a kid I have always loved films. I really wanted to become an actress, but because of my big shyness I didn't do anything to make that dream become true. I had very little faith in myself. When I got older I would always get comments that I must have been going to a drama class, which I didn't...for some reason I didn't choose any creativity courses at "high school"(Videregående)...which wasn't very smart of me...

BUT in 2011 I started on the Norwegian School of Creativity (Norges Kreative Fagskole) where I took the course Film. I found out that if I couldn't make myself be infront of the camera...then why not be behind it! 

I really have to thank my boyfriend for helping me a bunch with my low self-esteem, he made me believe in myself and that I should do anything to follow my dream. So I did! Well I got one step closer at least... 

The first year was really great, we did a lot of productions and we evolved through everyone of them. At this stage I could already say that camera wasn't quite my thing. Screenplay on the other hand was. I have always loved writing stories so writing screenplays was just up my alley. 

My second year, which is now actually, is where I got a taste for being a producer. On our projects I was always the producers because everybody else wanted to do the technical stuff and not have to worry about the paperwork... Me on the other hand sort of... like paperwork. Well film paperwork. Getting actors, locations, fixing the contracts, getting everything we needed and cheap or...for free. And I actually enjoy that. But I think I still have A LOT to learn.

Now that I know my two places in film (writer, producer) it easier to focus and work hard for it. 

Film is a tough business, and I really hope I'll make it.

The Nutrilett Diet: Day 5

12.23

Today I was really tired and the only thing that dragged me out of bed was my cat who wanted to get out and do whatever cats do when they’re outside. (9.00am) And since I was already up I forced myself not to return to bed, but to “make” breakfast which was a Caramel/Toffee bar.  So I got my camera and started shooting and eating. Sometimes I get cravings for stuff I didn’t really eat much before, like chips.

And now (three and a half hours later) I am having some fruit which consist of an apple and a Clementine.

17.40

Had another bar, but this time it was the Dark Chocolate one. I had that around 15.00.

Also had one of those chocolate shakes again… but I am not tired of the diet, not yet anyway. This was around 18.00-ish. I then had a toffee bar 22.30. I was hungry when I went to bed last night, and I couldn’t sleep, so I hope this will help.

The Nutrilett Diet: Day 4

10.00 am

Today started very well. I actually managed to get out of bed 8.30! So I had my Chocolate shake about 9.00. I don’t feel tired so I am going to try to do some workout. I did also weigh myself today and I have apparently gone done 3 kg since Sunday…

They’re cutting us off the water today for a couple of hours, so I have been filling up bottles with water, or else I can’t have my shakes! And I am drinking a lot of water, which also makes me go to the toilet a lot…. Hope they won’t hold the water too long!

13.15

I did manage to work out a bit! So that’s positive! I had lunch 12.30 so this is going well I think. I might actually have all five portions today + some extra fruit.

16.45

Went for the “Chicken” soup today for dinner. Felt a bit sick after, so I think I am just going to drop that one. Stick to my Chocolate shakes and bars. If I can…

22.34

Went for a walk and had a chocolate shake again at 19.30 and some fruits just now, grapes and Clementine NOM. So I didn't have all my five portions but at least I had four.

The Nutrilett Diet: Day 1-3

So I am on a diet now where I only eat/ drink Nutrilett products for two weeks. I am I crazy? Can a person who gives up easily (like me) really live on Nutrilett meals for fourteen days? Let’s find out.

 I have already done it for three days now. At first I was hungry all the time, but not so much anymore. So far I have only been drinking the Nutrilett shake with the taste of chocolate, The Creamy Chicken soup and the dark chocolate bar. You’re suppose to have 5 bags of the product each day, but I’ve been eating less, which is not good, because now I just feel tired all the time. Even writing this is hard work. Also my mood is not good. I easily get angry and depressed. Not very depressed, but enough :P  I also get easily stressed. This just sounds negative, but it’s not too bad! And I am guessing the three- four first days will be like this. However I am really surprised that I haven’t been tempted to drink any soda or eat candy….or MEAT. Okay have to say that proper food is actually more tempting than soda or candy/snacks, which is for me very weird. I am a person who’s not really a food person; I mean I enjoy good food, but I rather slack on the dinner so I can eat more chocolate. That’s the person I am…or was…

 I am also filming it, which is to great help for me to actually do this (Might be a film when I am done). It’s not easy to smell actual food every day, but so far so good. I also eat fruit. On the package it says that it’s okay to eat vegetables so I hope it goes for fruit too, because I need something sweet. I also weight my fruit so I know how many calories I eat. So far I don’t eat more than 500 kcal (the fruit and the Nutriletts) which is too little. Especially now that I am going to do some workout too.  Been getting up late too, which I think answers for my lack of eating. I shall force myself out of bed earlier so I can fill my day with all of the five portions.

So far my favorite is the Dark Chocolate bar, because it actually tastes like chocolate. The chocolate shake and the chicken soup is not bad either, but taste more powder-like :P especially the soup... I haven’t tried much of the other tastes, because our nearest shop only has the chocolate shake and the chicken soup. They did have a toffee bar but I am not really a toffee person I think. But I guess I’ll have to try that one too…or all that I can get my hands on.

Well it’s time to shut up and sleep! :D Hope I get my butt out of bed early tomorrow...

RED DEAD REDEMPTION

Is awesome. I got it when it came out, which is like half a year ago or something, and since then it has been my top game. I just LOVE it! Lately I’ve been playing it online, and I guess I can say that I am very very addicted to it I didn’t have a microphone though in the beginning, but it only took a day after I’d started playing online, that I bought one. And I am really glad I did! It’s soooo much fun :D Especially if you’re playing with others who also got a microphone ^^

RED DEAD REDEMPTION: UNDEAD NIGHTMARE: Is also awesome. It was bit scary in the beginning :P But after a while, you get used to all the zombies coming up from the ground… Not sure if that’s a good thing, but hey! :D John Marston is awesome!

DEADWOOD

Is the new series I've been watching. I bought first season because my brother said he thought that was a series I'd like. I am a fan of True Blood, and since both of them are from  HBO I thought I'd give it a try. ( Also of course because of all the Red Dead R playing…which actually lead me to watch spaghetti westerns :P ) And I really really liked it! It was funny, action and a bit of romance, and very sort of..chilled. It didn’t take long time before I bought the second season. And I am done with that too. Now I need the third season :P But I thought it’d be a good idea to wait after Christmas… because I might get it then : ) Well it’s on my list of whishes anyway : ) Also done a drawing of one of the Characters : Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant)  http://nindyr.deviantart.com/

Halloween

I was on a Halloween party on Saturday, and it was great! :D I was a vampire, who actually looked like she was spat out from the 90's :p The party was in a small bedsit, and didn't have windows, so it was the perfect place. we decorated with some bats, spiderwebs and skulls. The place was already very very dusty, so that was just perfect. Was a bit crowded in there in the end with about 15-20 persons, but all went well. I drank a bottle of Jägermeister, something I am never ever gonna do again! At 03.00 AM me and a friend went to buy something to eat, and she was dressed as a sad clown, so I went through town on a Saturday along with a sad clown... Not many can say that... So she got a few looks on the way xD

 Sunday, the day of Halloween, I was on my way home from the party. I felt sick, I was hungry, and I really needed to use the bathroom. But since all my senses were down, I managed to look at the bus schedule all wrong, and had to wait for the bus for over half an hour (I know that's not very long, but when you're having a really bad hangover, 30/40 minutes feels like forever! :p But I had music, so it wasn't too bad :p Before I got home I went to Shell (gas station) and bought a hamburger which was  THE BEST HAMBURGER I'V EVER HAD! xD I met my brother there, and we walk together home to my mum (Family day on Sundays) where I pretty much looked like a zombie, or if as my ending was near x) I couldn't do anything! Even watching a movie was difficult! xD So Jäger, never agian!

And THAT was my weekend :)
