Day 10

I wish to express a big thank you to Gary, our one-man crew who assisted us in Boat Quay while we were shooting our photos. Wahidah had taken a look at our visual script. She made some red markings on it, and she went through the whole thing with us: who does our interviewer represent, what mood we want to put forward, our visual aspects for a few modules, etc. She did mention that there were some 'nice turn-around of events' and she liked our idea for presenting our Video Fundamentals. However, she was hinting that we need to improve our visual script a lot. For example, our Digital Photography Fundamentals needed to show photos in both Auto (which we never use in the module) and Manual. Luckily, Marj and Kez volunteered to go back to Boat Quay to do that. After she left, we started discussing. Seems we have to go back to square one; our Drawing Essentials was too casual, so now we are thinking of enlisting Ronald's help. Basically our original idea which we have stuck with needs a total revamp. Not to mention we have to do more re-scheduling of shooting/filming. Thank God at interim assessment, we can still be in production or pre-production. But that will cut down on editing time. We need to cut down after we calculated our video will be 12.5 minutes long. Now discussing on how we want to re-do our Drawing Essentials scene. No, wait....maybe redo just the Drawing Essentials part, and the interview part and the visual script...maybe all is not lost.Now discussing how to make our interviewer-Gary- sound like our audience; make him sound like a secondary school student with a 'young' voice. So now it's a bit of a shift to asking the interviewer about his origins. Now re-doing the script and planning out our new Drawing Essentials scene...CAN WE MAKE IT???
