A Generic Student Film Company

This blog’s purpose is to create a home for my final year student production company and to mark the progress of the first short film to evolve from the process.

My name is Jennifer Jones. I am 22 and a final year student at Paisley University studying media. My background of study is generally more focussed on writing and journalism; with a desire to gain a role working on online projects rather than independant film making. However, I have a creative project that must be done and I wish to do it properly.

At the moment, the current state of play in regards to my creative project is that I have a script and the scent of a student film crew. What I intend to do with this blog is to use it as a vital source of networking to help me complete my project successfully. I wish to update it frequently as and when required.

The name of the company orginates from my complete overuse of a good scrabble word. I love the word “generic”. I will have babies with the word “generic”. “Generic” is the greatest insult to those who try hard and be “different”. So I decided to adopt it as my own as I feast on a bowl of well-place irony and roffle at the fact that I don’t consider myself much of a film maker and don’t try and be anything other than somebody who wants to get a good mark for their honour year – and maybe perhaps something decent to show prospective employers. I’m not trying to glam it up to anything other than just another media student, doing just another student film – but I feel brutal honesty tends to help me in these circumstances.

Look forward to my next update where I shall amuse your arses off with a treatment of the script and the tales of my attempt to get actors and crews to work for free.
