Day 16

actually, we planned to do our shooting of the introduction today but it seems like everyone';s busy and i do not think that we can get any help from anyone for our shooting and so, we will do the shooting on next Monday. and we must really, really, really get on with the shooting. we will stay quite late and try to finish our shooting by the end of next Friday. so,YEAH!! let's buck up everybody!! chaos!!
Day 15

i really screwed up yesterday, i accidentally dropped the videocam and the battery went flat. on the process of trying out the recording, i accidentally record over the shot that we have shoot. and now, we have to res hoot the whole thing. thanks, kirin!! i felt really guilty because im quite worried as to what my group members will say about it. anyway, im really sorry guys!!

today, we had our interim assignment. we presented evrything that we have done to the class.
i basically, tell them our storyboard and stuff like that. i think, we did quite well for a quite unprepared group. anyway, everything went smoothly and im quite happy with our presentation.well done guys!!

that's all!!adios!!

Day 14

well,we have started shooting the 1st scene.and that is the intro.we do quite a few takes before we actually get a good take. 1st,we asked help from rina and yvonne and the good thing is, they agreed to help us. thanks guys!!we did abt 2 takes with them but unfortunately, they are unable to stay long because they have their onw work to do. anyway, thanks gerls!! then, we asked jeremy and raj help. and, they agreed too!!thanks guys!! we did about 3 takes with them. some of the no good take, are all because of the other students. in one way or another, they actually disrupt our shooting. "thanks" people!!"appreciate" that!! but anyway, we managed to get good take and all our members like it..so,good job people!! thats all!!

Day 13

we've start shooting!
im happy for that.but,our camera kinda give us problem.yesterday, i tried to shoot some footage using the videocam and it work out well. i tried to playback the footege and yup, it's good. however, today when we want to start shooting, it cant playback. at first, i tried to rewind as i want to record over the footage that i have took yesterday but it cant be played. and so, we asked wahidah for help and she said it need some cleaning up. we went to the equipment room and asked the uncle. he cleaned it using the tape cleaner but still it gave problem. we came the second time and he gave us anoyher tape.and that tape worked. so, in state of us getting to shoot more scenes, we wasted quite some time due to the tape problem. well,anyway, problem always came in things like this so im not surprised.overall, i find that for roughly about 1 hour, we did a pretty good job. fun working with the three girls anyway!!
that's all folk!!

Day 12

today, abit slack. i did not bring the re-typed script and so after the morning class, we go to the computer lab and type it out. we print it and gave to wahidah to do more discussions.eventually, she liked it but abit of hesitating here and there but we worked that out.and, we can start shooting!! atlast!
that's all folk!!

Day 10

first of all, HAPPY VAlentine!!

however, today is kind like my 'unlucky' day.in the morning, i wake up late and so i missed my morning class. after reaching school, i realised that i forgot to bring my script. its kinda stupid!!

anyway, today my group had not much to discuss on because we had everything sorted out. jas was absent because she had fever but thats fine to us.apart from all that, yuan had her green monster thing that she showed me and germ. after showing, we thought of making a whole new monster but still working on it.also, germ had audio to let me and yuan listen to. the audios will be use in the video to make it more interesting.most of the songs are nice. well done germ!we had make our choices and will finalised it together with jas tomorrow i guess.

after all that, we went back to class and told wahidah what we had done and due to me not bringing the script, we dont really had much to discuss with wahidah.

we also did a new timeline because wahidah informed us that this week, we cant really loan videocamera from school because yaer 3 students are still using.we can only have it next week. so, we had to bring forward our shooting schedule and do some adjustment on the timeline in which i have did it just now.

and, that's it for today!

Day 6

Presentation day!! i was late for the early discussion that my group had before class starts. i got a terrible stomachache that make me went in and out of the toilet a few times. so,stupid!!

the presentation went smoothly. basically, we had everything that needed to be shown up in the slides. i find that jas did a good jod. well done jas! allan told us some things that needed to be done such as timeline and stuff like that. we really took in seriously because that is improtant so that everything went on smoothly.

after presentations, we did storyboard and germaine and yuan actually panic! they worry we cant get things finished on time. but, after me and jas calm them, yhey seem pretty calm though.

Day 5

day 5, well its just like any other days. i cant wait to see the presentation that jas had done. the funny part is, she thought the presentation is today but its not, i dont blame her though because somtimes we people get mixed up. so, no worries! however, she showed us the presentation on computer and i find it good, she had all the points out and all. but, after wahidah told us thingsd that need to be include in the slides, we realised we had 1 slides not in and that is the roles for each of us. well, that not a big problem.
as for the discussions, basically our group had everythings needed done. but we only left with the storyboard that is very important. the storyboard will keep us on the right track on what we want to do during shooting. it avoids us for getting everything mixed up.we did some of the storyboarding and changed some of the intro to make it even better and interesting.
so, more storyboarding need to be done and presentation tomorrow!!

Day 4

today class started off with wahidah showing us more videos on the different ways to do documentaries. i find that some of the videos are very useful in order to make our videos interesting. the videos showed us the different ways we can use the camera angle and stuff like that.

after all that, we did more discussions on our project. basically, for this discussions, we decide on what subject we going to include in our video. my group chose ComDI, 2D anim, digital photography and animation fund. we put in more details for our ideas. our video is about the four of us flashing back about the first time we met and the modules that we had taken and that is what we decided to do for the final.

about the presentation slides, jasmine agreed to do the whole slides. we are thankful for that, anyway, thanks jas!. in the slides, we include objectives,genre,target audience,format and stuffs. we also include some details on what we going to include in the contents.

basically, thats all for today!
