Day 10
We didnt have filming today.We realised we have had enough footage so we decided to save up our time for more discussion and planning.As we're discussing,we got lost.We don't know what exactly our video is gonna be like.We have alot of ideas but no matter how hard we think,we can't combine our works and the footage together.Everything just don't link.While we're all straining our minds,something struck me.Trailers.. I suggested my idea about making everything seems like a movie trailer.We can combine animation and video together as well.Everyone agrees so we appraoched Alfie for further comments and suggestions.Well,Alfie likes it too! We're very happy that we finally have a target to hit.Now we're on our path again.Let's all make it work! :D

Day 9
Filming today in school. The year 2 did their filming outside Lt 24, tv studio and the ramp at design entrance. Majority of the filming took place in the tv studio. Well, i can say that today's filming is not BORING. Instead, i kind of enjoyed it :D
Filming indoor is so much easier as the lighting will be fixed. Filming went smoothly and suddenly, it blacked out. We can see nothing at all. The seniors then went to look for technicians and awhile later, the lights were back. Continued filming till we used up our tape. The seniors ended their filming in the studio at around 3 and so we packed up.Headed to the ramp after that. As they needed crowd, we joined in as the extras. It's quite interesting to be part of it :)
Had two days of filming and we guess that it's more than enough. Hope it's useful for our video :)

Day 8
Today, everyone met up at Bras Basah to do filming. The year 2 crews were already there when we reached. So as they set up their equipments, we set up ours. We observed the whole process of filming. From setting up to directing to communicating with actors, i can truely see and feel the efforts. It's not a easy job to do. Each scene is important. The camera angle, the expression of the actor, then recording of audio, mostly importantly, the lighting. I can see how difficult it is to get the right lighting.
After an hour or two, we started to get tire and restless. Our attention span are used up. We can hardly focus on the filming. Well to be honest, it's a little boring. We then sat along the stairs to have some rest. Slowly, i dozed off :x
Anyway, after the shooting ended, we packed up as well. Gonna continue tmr which will take place in school.Yay, no need to travel anywhere.Let's hope it's less BORING :D

Day 7
Hi everyone, sorry for not updating for awhile.
Today, Alfie talked to us about the objectives of our project. Seems like it's gonna change again. Alfie was wondering what's the main objective for this project was. MUST we showcase our work? We were discussing about this issue then when Ronald walked into our class. He then explained what is required and told us that we'll be informed again for further confirmation about whether showcasing our works is complusory.
Anyway, we are starting our filming tmr. As the year 2 are doing their p2 now, it's our chance to capture some 'behind the scene' scenes. Our schedule is still not confirm as we have to go with the year 2 schedule. But no worries, we'll get the confirmed schedule done asap.
Till here then.Toodles!

Day 6
Presentation today. Every group presentated their ideas. I find some of their ideas quite interesting however for one paricular group, i'm kind of confused about their concept. I hope other groups understood our ideas.
After presentation, Alfie gave us comments and suggestions on how to improve and how our work can be done. So,we went back to our group and went through our ideas and concepts again. Slowly, our members started giving better ideas and concepts. So we decided to change our plan. We added a mascot in it. It will be a stickman and from there, we came out a group name for ourselves which is called ' The Stickman Production'. I like the name :)
In brief description of our idea, everything will somehow be the same but there will be a stickman popping out in different scenes.
We planned our schedule and probably will start filming the Year 2 from next week.Good luck to us :D

Day 5
Today, we did our group discussion again.However, this time round, we finally narrow down our ideas and finalised one idea. It's a combination of video and animation. After Alfie's advise, we came out with better concept and got prepared for the presentation tomorrow. I'm in charge of presenting the ending. Hope everything goes well :)

Day 4
I'm late for class today.Sorrry! :/
Well,when i stepped into the class,Alfie was talking about Objectives of our projects.He briefed us again on our video project and suggested alot.I think all the stuff he had said makes alot of sense.No wonder he's a lecturer.Haha :)
So,now our main concern should be developing concpet ideas.We have to focus on how to catch the attention of the students.Hmmm,how can we catch their attention? Wanna give me suggestions? Haha! Oh well,Alfie said something true which is,we ourselves already have such short span of giving full attention,how are we gonna keep the younger generation's attention? How...
After his breifing,we then sat in our group and discussed on our concept.We introduced new ideas and somehow changed the way we wanna shoot it.We set our objectives and focused on our concept and everyone of us were supposed to think of "why we are here in tp design,in MOI".Food from design canteen? Hot girls? Well, it's more than that. :)

Day 3
Hi homies,i'm back! Sorry i didnt update for the past two days.My bad.
Anyhow,we had our second combined lecture in LT today.Alfie,Ronald and Wahidah showed us some video regarding on how we can start our project 1.
They showed us set up of movies,introduction and ending of movies,the different methods of shooting and how are they bad and how are they good.There's animated intro and ending too.That will benefit those who are taking animation as major or those who wanna be ambitious and try out new stuff :)
I find all the videos useful and i come to realise that there's quite a few ways of shooting.It can not always be the same standard way of shooting newsasia or documentary.I like the opening of Hostage.It's very creative and it gave me ideas on how i can do an opening.
After all three lecturers have showed us what they have,we're so eagered to leave.So,we're dismissed. :D
Till here for now.Bye!
