Day 8

We shot some of our intro today. Shot Marj walking, me taking bus. We did that in the morning before coming to school. We rented out the school's camera and I brought my own DV tape (hopefully it's not given to the school by accident). We did have to do a couple of takes for each part as I observed. For the Bus part lasting just a few seconds, we took over 30 minutes to shoot a desired result. We also redid the video pan of our 2D Art Fundamentals work. When we went to class, we showed Wahidah what we have taken. Even showed her our edited schedule and even our four-columned visual script. WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE NEVER SATISFIED? She-die,die-wants a two-columned visual script. But anyway, she seem pretty happy with what we have done and she told us to plug in the Firewire so she can see it more clearly. i wasn't very sure how that went as I was collecting my 2D Art work. But when i came in later, my groupmates were playing around with the visual effects to bring out the white balance in our footage. After a while of stoning, we went up to the 5th floor to shoot our Drawing Essentials scene. In it, the camera focuses on me drawing in my sketchbook before panning to Joel and Marj talking. Then, I interrupt and present my own work. Kezia was to be our camera man. We did encounter the common problem of me not talking when it's supposed to be my cue, leaving Joel and Marj most befuddled as they tried to talk some more. We wrapped it up in around 15 minutes and went back to class. But by then, class was finished so we went over to the 2D Lab to do our two-columned visual script (although we have already gone ahead with production) and search for a song for our Video Fundamentals scene (we are planning to do that MTV style). We finally agreed with an old tune (not going to reveal what that it:). By then, Joel and I had to rush to our next class. Will be shooting our Digital Photography Fundamentals scene at Boat Quay tomorrow.
