Well we did it. The Adventures of Rosanna Cross was screened for the marking panel and other students on the same course at Southampton Solent University. We received some great comments from the students but then it was time to go and face the judging panel.
We got a grilling from the panel on nearly every aspect of the drama. (I am glad Julian Unthank was there as I think he was the only panel member who made a positive comment.) We entered the room full of pride at what we had achieved but left questioning every decision we made.
All we can hope for is that they pulled it apart to make sure we understood how we make a better production next time – Which we do!”
It did bring up a few questions of the edit, which will be altered before the cast and crew screening. (details of this public screening coming soon!)
Now we have to wait until we have all been marked for the project, the mark going towards our overall degree grade.
Anyway, whatever happens, I am very proud of what we achieved. We made a period drama on a very limited budget, made some new friends, worked with some really talented and creative people, learnt so much to take with us in our future careers plus much, much more.
I love the Rosanna character and have plenty of ideas of what adventures she gets up to next; So-much-so that I have already started working on the next story. (watch this space in the future for updates!)
I hope that everyone who worked on the drama feels the same way as me and I hope we can work together again in the future.
