Lesson: Self Reliance
A writer has a lot to occupy her mind and time, m Radio channel Big FM decided that we reinvent the review show with a section called Classic where I will review the memorable vintage films. They asked me to get cracking instantly. In normal circumstances when I arrive at the recording studio it takes me ten minutes to complete the audio recording and about half an hour with all the technical glitches to complete the video recordings.
Post the recordings are the promo shoots, the stills and then back home to put it all on the social media. Friday for all film critics is an exhausting day but also an exhilarating day and now suddenly there is silence. My program head tells me I will have to do all the recordings on my own using the iPhone. I am petrified but I have no choice. Through trial and error, I learn to position myself, learn to rectify my eye contact and finally learn to use first the microphone and later the camera to record myself. I have to do it a number of times before it is good enough to be posted but before that I have to learn the uploading which takes ages but is finally done. Corona virus has taught me self-reliance and I’m hoping the coming week will be as productive as this one.
