Day 17
It was my filming today!
As much as it was fun, it was tiring. I had to stay in my position while my other group members did what they had to do. I don't know the term for it, maybe i should google it or wiki it haha maybe its called stop motion or something. But nonetheless, it was fun. My back cried several times haha but still fun. It was a short day of fliming which was good since we were exhausted from the previous filming. We lunched after that. Taa!

Day 16
Yay on to the 3rd day on filming. I wasnt there yesterday due to some personal problems but i know that my group managed just fine.
We went to film Dions hand scene. This i really so funny that even thinking about it now, i am laughing haha Ok so our location was the stairs of the old CityHall. We got ready, set up the camera and Rina was there ready to give her news cast BUT lo and behold, here comes this old little security guard, coming to shoo us away from the stairs. I mean, isnt it public property? There weren't any signs which said no filming. I mean if people can take pictures there, why not video? Grr! So in the end we crossed the path way thingie and went to the war memorial outside of the esplanade. I think we broke some rules because we didnt want any cars of buses to park where we were filming so what boon bin did was put our stuff on the road so nothing would get in out way. This was scary because there were so many occasions when Dion and i thought that the bus would run over our stuff or knock it down, but thankfully nothing happened. There were also a group of foreign workers sitting near us and Dion was scared that they would run away with our stuff or something. Yikes! After numerous NG's and loads of running. we were done.
Kallang Leisure Park!
Firstly, I want to say that getting to leisure park is a FREAKIN PAIN IN THE TOOT! We just kept walking and walking and walking. Sweat sweat sweat...
After that we spent the whole afternoon filming Dions and BB's scene. I got super sunburnt but i had fun. After that, Andrea, Dion and BB proceeded to my house to watch Pulp Fiction.
Kudos to Quentin Tarentino.

Day 15
We finally started filming! YAY!
So the location was the hereafter lab. I love the hereafter lab, it feels so.. labby? haha I love the holw professional feeling that radiates off the greenish walls haha. And the soft hum of the super computers really gives the ambience of a video editing location. I must say, this was a very good location.
The cast for this was Yvonne and Me. I won't spill much details of what the filming was about but its just an interview haha with a nice script and it'll be funny if you know your current affairs haha. It was quite annoying sometimes when you have to retake shots because we had to re-read the script and re-act again. But on the whole it was really fun and we had loads of laughs along the way. 3hrs of Filming just for that one scene, are we okay? Will be be ON TIME? *shiver*

Day 13
30 days left. Exhausted and STILL we have filming to do.
Dion didn't make it today so we couldnt finalize the storyboards. We work on other stuff in the mean time. Rina and I worked on the ninjas for the last shot of the video while bb and yvonne worked on the screenshots and other camera related stuff. I'm glad to have boon bin in our team. He's really awesome with the camera due to his experience so i know that our whole video will be awesome.
Thats pretty much it. Another unproductive day. Actually we did do stuff but we work better as a whole team so being without Dion was quite upsetting but i'm sure we're okay. I hope i'm not kidding myself. But i can feel it in my bones that we are FINE! Yes eff-eye-enn-eee, Fine! :)

Day 12
We met together in our groups today, it was a short meeting where we just informed the other group members what our progress was. Yvonne and i were really good, we had the script almost completed and we liked how the script looked and the humour in it.
We lunched after that and had fun amoung ourselves haha
Sometimes i wonder if we're too lax. Or of we're on target. According to our plans we are on target and we shouldnt feel the need to be stressed but i can't help it when i see other groups all stressed and already filming when we are still doing the pre-production. Anyhow, i trust Andrea and he planning and i know that we would be okay.

Day 10
Todays Valentines day! hahhaa
We didnt have a project meeting today because we decided that it wouldnt be fair to our other halves hahah and since me and yvonne and dion are attached haha. So basically today i planned with yvonne on what to do with the script since she was my paired partner. I told her that she could do whatever she wanted for the script and then she'll send it to me so that i can edit it and add on where i need to.
On the whole it was a rather slack-ful day haha but i loved it!
Off to see the boyfriend! :)

Day 9
Well today we finalized our roles in the production. I thought about the storyboards and since i am pretty much a visual person i was incharge of making our WRITTEN storyboard into a PICTURE storyboard. With much help from our Artistic Director Dion of course. Its quite hard to visualise written words into a picture, i must say. But i was very fun and i had the much appreciated support from my awesome group. It was another productive day and we did have conflicting ideas sometimes but we're mature adults so no fighting for us. Fights are bad haha they build tension within a group haha.
So yay to another productive day. and yay for valentines day tmr!

Day 8
Ok today was one of the probably most productive but at the same time, one of the most exhausting.
We managed to get the flow of the video all finalized to prepare for fliming. We wanted it to be certain, all details all taken note of so that when we film, we would be on task and not waste time and take not needed stuff.
I was a little distracted during the meeting, it could be because i was mastering the rubiks cube but i was also terribly hunger and my mind refused to work. You know when they say you can only lead the horse to the water but you can't make the horse drink.
I think if it wasnt for andrea who headed the meeting with patience as well as bossyness (haha) we wouldnt be on task right now. So big big kudos to Andrea. Shes a born leader and knows that when work needs to be done, it will be done.
So we got over the meeting and i finally had my food! CHICKEN CUTLET AND NACHO CHEESE! i was so hungry, maybe thats why my mind wasnt functioning. So yep today was a good but excruciatingly tiring day haha.

Day 7
Wow, never have i enjoyed CNY much like how i enjoyed it this year haha. I spent most of the time with my friends from school. It started off with a movie at the Cathay followed by some fun at He Pan haha.
Ok i shall touch on what happened at the movie theatre. You see because the group was so big, we were undecided on whether to watch CJ7 or Sweeney Todd. Ok lets give the gist of the whole thing and why i am bothering to blog about it here haha. So lets say me, I refused to pay $9.50 to watch a Chinese show about an animated fluff ball, hence i wanted to watch Sweeney Todd considering that i fancy musicals. But some others didnt want to watch Sweeney Todd because they don't like musicals. So here i shall touch why this is worth blogging about. I don't know if i'm just being biased against chinese languash films but i don't usually watch movies which are in Chinese or let alone in any other language. I find reading subtitles very annoying and i'm not actually watching the show but just reading the subs. I try very much as possible not to watch movies in the theatre which are not in english.
So yes, thankfully i wasn't the only one who wanted to watch Sweeney Todd so a group of us went off to watch it, I was immensely happy haha.
I like to digress haa. So anyway. After all the festivities we were back to thinking fully about project one. Sometimes we wondered why we didnt feel any stress, while the other groups were all "omg how, blah blah blah"
So it was quite fruitful today as Alfie told us how we could add certain stuff and what content we could use. However since we wanted the whole news like feel to it, we thought of new like content to put into it. We wanted to use the real life current affairs and play around with them so that it involved Design.
So on the whole, I would rate today as A*** :)

6th Day
Presentation today!
I just love presentations, i mean whats so scary about it anyway? i guess when you present infront of the class you know its not so bad. But i can't wait to see how its like presenting to total strangers like maybe people like Steven Spielberg or something haha dream on Clarissa.
Alfie liked our presentation. I don't wanna be boastful or whatever but i expected it. We're on task and we know what we want. We also have very strong individuals in our group who arn't afraid to stand up and present their own piece. I feel sorry for groups who have soft spoken people because its hard to express their ideas. I think they should learn how to have confidence in themselves when they present because Design isn't only about having awesome finished pieces of work but also to be able to present your work to others. Also being in the media industry, or like us who are going to be in the media industry, we should be able to present our ideas with confidence as directors out there would want you to present your ideas to them and if you cannot do it properly, even though you idea is very good, you might not get the job.
Anyway, i digress.
So Alfie liked our presentation. And we all were happy with it. Looks like a good start for our project, if i do say so myself.

Day 5
Well i didn't go for the first presentation today. I was super sick, the stupid bug is going around and i guess due to the amount of work we're doing for the project 1, i haven't had the chance to build up my anti bodies, hence i am a neato little target for Mr Flu Bug. Grr.
I always feel guilty when i can't make it to a meeting, its like i'm not giving my 100% to the group. But i dont think i would be of any help even though i did go today. My throat is full of phlegm and my brain is all stuffy and blah. I think i'm giving too much infomation but yeah.
Anyway, i know my group and i know that they can be awesome even without me there. I am really happy with my group, we seem to have the best of all our assests together and we haven't fought...yet haha but i dont think we'd ever have any major disagreements. We have our crazy moments which makes working together even more fun. We know when to work and when to play so its all good.
Anyway i think i better head to bed.
