It’s week two and we’ve been split in two. Literally. The Media and Screenwriting students have been separated, or at least, every now and then we will be. So for our first lesson as a Media collective, we also separated into two groups to work on the same exercise. That is, adapting a script that […]
Read more "It Takes Two"And have good time. The second half of this semester has been a pretty intense few weeks of group work. After everyone pitched their film ideas and got into groups, things really got underway with pre-production of our films considering the amount of time we had to complete them. There really wasn’t a lot of […]
Read more "Let’s All Collaborate"And now, we conclude. This week was our last week of classes, and also our last full week of working on our group film. Our primary focus now was on solely editing, but to be more specific, this meant adjusting the colours, sound and refining shots. We made sure that all the shots we needed […]
Read more "Now We’re Done"And now, let the re-filming begin. After having spent the past two weeks filming and then immediately reviewing the footage and making very rough cuts of scenes to see how they would potentially look like, we carefully examined each shot to ensure there is visual continuity throughout each scene, and to also find out what […]
Read more "And Once More"And let the filming … continue. Last week, my group and I have begun filming for our short film assignment (and click here for a recap) which now brings us to our second week of production. We began the week by reviewing all the footage we had captured and did a somewhat rough cut of the opening […]
Read more "Play It Again"And let the filming begin. This week, my group and I began filming for our film. But before we actually did some official filming – the one where it’s actually part of the final product – we first did some test filming. We agreed to do this to see if the shots we envisioned would work […]
Read more "Let Me See First"Last week, we presented. This week, we decided. After having pitched my film and listen to other people pitch their ideas, this week, we chose which film ideas will be made and the core groups we will work in. And in terms of the core group I’ll working in, I’ve chosen to work for Kris’ […]
Read more "So Here’s The Plan"For me, this week was pretty much all about editing videos as part of our third assessment. The first video is of a compilation of short clips and the other two were re-makes of two scenes from two different films. The compilation of short clips were a combination of videos captured by yours truly and fellow […]
Read more "Cut It"If you’d like to read the original observation and the storyline of the film idea inspired by the observation, click here. The film would be relatively short, approximately 3 minutes long – no longer than 5. In a quick summary, the film tells the story of a girl who sees a boy across the room […]
Read more "Pitch Please"2 Scenes in 2 hours. This week, we were given the task to film and re-make two scenes, each from two different films. The first scene we filmed was fairly easy considering it was one shot that had barely any camera movement. For the filming of this scene, I was the boom pole operator. The […]
