Welcome to my blog

I have recently undertaken an MA in screenwriting at Bournemouth University. This is the first blog I've ever created! This blog is meant to represent my observational research for unit 1. I have chosen to look at the Southbank, in London where the graffiti and skate park are positioned under the National Theatre. I hope you enjoy reading my comments.

chosen arena

I knew I wanted to do the observational research in a large place, somewhere busy. I wanted it to be full of people in case I found material an issue. Finding material has been the least of my problems. The local drug dealer spotted me last week and I was busy writing notes, trying to pretend I wasn't looking his way. Although I was intimidated it was great for the research and I hope he's around when I go back next Monday. I think trying to talk to him would be a stupid idea but I might be able to talk to more skaters.
