Day 9

As I stepped into class today, Wahidah explained that by interim assesment, we do not have to produce a rough cut of our video. In fact, we could still be in production or pre-production then. And we cannot rent out our video cameras until next week. What the hell...we are too advanced. We may have to re-schedule some of our shoots. Not to mention she is still rather unhappy with our pre-production. I know my groupmates are most hard-working, and hopefully we can get it done. She then asked Raj's group to present their work (they apparently gave her a 19-page visual script) and from there, she started telling us about a 'shot list'. I think it's what the scribe records as he stands next to the cameraman, such as timinig, tape shot description and number of takes. She also gave us how a shot should be run, especially commands and countdowns. Not only that, we may not have to do in-camera editing but may have to edit on paper (play the camera and pick the footage we want, and write it down). Is she trying to say we cannot use editing software at all??? Overall, we really have to be organized with our work, as we have to apply such things in future works. True. So later, we drew up a shot list (see how hardworking we are) while I sketched out our animated caricutures for our credits/closing. We also looked through the footage we took on Day 8.
Right now, my groupmates are drawing up a two-columned visual script, waiting to go to Boat Quay to shoot our Digital Photography Fundamentals scene; take pictures of us taking pictures. :P. Hope it goes well...
