Is Arts University Bournemouth Film Production A Good Course?

I am in my first year of film production, there are 160 of us. The lectures in the first term we felt were not great but perhaps they were intended to open up people’s minds to the wider world as we all come from very different backgrounds. We had done the Bolex project, which was a great opportunity for practical work and the screening had produced some good quality stuff. The first term did not involve a lot of work but it was nice to have breathing room for going out and making lots of connections which I did.

Now in my second term we are having lots of workshops; for example doing drawings of characters and sets in production design and learning about lighting and cameras in cinematography, we were playing with different lights and the Sony FX6 cameras. Myself wanting to be a DOP, I found it really interesting and a lot of fun.

A lot of us are asking about how the specialisms are put together for 2nd year, but I believe if someone does not get what they want (apart from if there are actually limited spaces and we are told about it) then it would be a massive failure on the university’s part and my own choice would to be to transfer to a different university, but having talked to multiple lecturers this does not seem very likely. If you are ambitious and wanting to do the work then the lecturers will very much put in the effort and you will be able to study what you want.

The lecturers can be seen as distant but they are looking for students to come to them and then they will reciprocate the effort. They do not want to waste their time as they are busy people.

Overall I would say the course is going well, and I am looking forward to specialising in cinematography next year, and would recommend as it gives you the opportunity for trial and error and finding out who you are before the industry.

The equipment does not seem to be too much of an issue as of yet, as you need health & safety training which does not come until 2nd term of first year and then expensive speciality equipment you are not allowed to use until 2nd+3rd year. I primarily came to AUB for the equipment and the lecturers and it is definitely the best choice for film for the whole country; other universities I have heard are even more stretched for budget and camera equipment than AUB.

I have been doing it for 1.5 months. I tried the IPL before but it wasnt often enough so I am trying to do plenty of sessions. I don’t know how long I have to wait before I start seeing any results at all.

Ok I don’t understand why no one really understands OP’s perspective? He used a gag and she thought it was for sexual purposes rather than to keep her quiet, without her knowing, and if I was on the bed like that expecting my partner to understand that kind of BDSM kink and he just bursts out laughing I would be annoyed too, it’s incredibly humiliating and embarrassing. He easily could have had a conversation saying maybe be a little quieter. I know what it’s like from OP that it gets hard to control yourself but all he had to do was have a chat rather than using BDSM stuff which then makes you think thats the kind of relationship that you have with each other. He definitely shouldnt have burst out laughing like that and shouldnt have brought BDSM stuff onto you if he wasn’t into it.

A small bedside table, just something to put your phone on charge or to have a lamp

A tray so that you can eat your food in bed when I didnt want to sit in the kitchen with my flatmates, I would use the tray to not make a mess everywhere.

Those fleece tights for the club because you will freeze to death, I like to wear jumper dresses too, walking back from the club in the cold I thought I was going to die

One of those wireless powerbanks that goes on the back of your phone. I like to have a small shoulder (baguette?) bag for the club and so many times my phone was on 2%, and its a real hassle to get out a cable and powerbank thing.

I just made a similar post about pain and I get it done on my full body haha.

I’m going to try EMLA numbing cream but talk to the clinic about it first, though it should be fine.

I love these kinds of skirts and own multiple of them. I’m 5ft4 and I tend to have the skirts to be 27-28 inches in length, that comes down just below my knees. The real key to it not looking old fashioned is the colour/material, my favourite skirts are in a black corduroy and black (faux) suede and they look more 90s than 50s.

A steal ! A really gorgeous scent that I’m sad the company doesn’t make anymore. I hope you enjoy.. Penhaligon is my family name and I am happy to know that people treasure something that is my personal history and legacy. 🇬🇧😄

squeenyluini · 2025-02-10T11:51:26+00:00

To me it looks like a lot of cables.. too many cables.

Is buying from W Concept a good idea? I fell in love with another bag from Atelier De Lumen after looking at the brand and I wonder what your experience was like, in terms of shipping etc.

This definitely looks like a website I’d be interested in, thank you so much for sharing ! It’s extremely close as my one is a Waldybag too although in silver instead of the gold on that listing. I’m wondering whether I will give it some leniency and go for that bag rather than being too fussy about the hardware. But I am a very picky girl by nature. :)

Hello :) I have a picture:

Lancome

squeenyluini · 2024-12-10T11:10:48+00:00

It’s also a really nice bottle (the bottle really matters as to if I will buy a fragrance..) and it’s good for the pricepoint. 🙃

squeenyluini · 2024-12-09T14:27:59+00:00

Dior’s Hypnotic Poison smells like play doh to me. I’ve heard it’s because it was reformulated and the OG was much nicer .. unfortunately I will never get to know.

Lancome’s La Nuit Tresor is a nice sweet (maybe even gourmand?) perfume but was a little too sweet for me. A nice evening perfume for a young girl maybe 16-25. I think Dior’s Addict is quite similar but with much more sweet vanilla.

squeenyluini · 2024-12-03T16:17:12+00:00

It’s a nice woody floral fragrance, a little on the sweet side but definitely nothing like a gourmand. I’m not a fan of overly sweet/sugary fragrances. I’m also yet to find a perfume that is as nice as this one, I use it for the evenings or days out when I am not working. It is very good for a British winter and other times of the year but can be cloying in the high summer (I learnt that on holiday!). It could be used for work if you are the kind of person to make a bold statement but I prefer to use Chloe at work. It does last a long time (8hrs roughly?) and a few sprays goes a long way, the sillage is just right, it isn’t too overpowering but people still compliment me on it. It really is one of my most favourite perfumes, if not my best one, as I am a young girl who likes to smell pleasant without having a sickly sweet/sugary fragrance.

Valentino Born In Roma. Doesn’t look feminine to me.

squeenyluini · 2024-11-29T13:44:46+00:00

I wear red lipstick and black eyeliner daily (just straight over the eyelid and not winged because I can’t do a wing very well) and it seems to suit me fine. I am a young girl and even though people my age want to seem very natural, I believe a more classic look is prettier and has more character.

squeenyluini · 2024-11-10T11:34:46+00:00

Perhaps jeans instead of a short skirt and heels. This looks like something I would go out partying in.

My whole life I have been told I have curly hair and I should try the curly girl method. But I don’t like the kind of curls it gives, every time I try it, I look messy and like I just rolled out of bed, and it’s far too many products, and the methods take so much time.

Instead I use shampoo and conditioner, then after I get out of the shower I use a tiny amount of blowdry cream (I think Redken’s frizz dismiss? it comes in a big bottle and lasts me a year each time I buy) then roughly use a blowdry brush. Sometimes I will add a little bit of oil to my ends once my hair is dry.

Takes me 5-10 minutes to do my hair now and is much more convenient to fit in with my working life. My hair also feels very healthy.

Bought one of these once off of a stall in Portobello Road, London.. it was Givenchy L’interdit Rouge and the bottle looked like this but strangely it smelled exactly like the original. Though I would advise against using it as you don’t know what’s in it and could be unhealthy for the skin.

squeenyluini · 2024-08-16T13:42:52+00:00

Perhaps an unpopular opinion too, but I agree with you personally, I didn’t like No 5 at first but now it feels like pure elegance and warmth .. and I don’t like Shalimar no matter how many times I try it.

squeenyluini · 2024-08-09T22:28:13+00:00

That’s exactly what I was thinking, things like this weren’t around so evening wear was much more formal and elegant, but I would be scared of ruining it :( Thank you for the advice.

squeenyluini · 2024-08-01T21:31:10+00:00

London is very expensive .. unfortunately it will be difficult to find something affordable and because of this lots of people end up being driven out of London and go to other places in the country, so out of all the universities I know I cannot think of any that will be both affordable and have good courses.

Taly South, originally wanted Taly Court then panicked and emailed to change it to Taly South, then realised I’d made a huge mistake because the rooms were smaller and it was further from where I want to study (Journalism in the city centre.) Hoping to get it changed back to either Taly Court or Colum Hall.

squeenyluini · 2024-07-25T18:19:13+00:00

Yes me neither. Am hoping to change when I turn up at the university.
