In this week’s workshop, we started with the screening of PB3. I was not so satisfied with my PB3 work as the audio went wrong and I had to fix it with Audition but still it was not ideal. So I asked Jeremy not to display mine. I really liked Tristan’s interview of this feminist jewelry maker, the soundtrack was…

Week 5 Workshop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m38CPPfj8YA&feature=youtu.be In this week’s workshop we were assigned to do an interview practice in a group of four (Carrie, Helena and Matt). We decided to check out a quiet courtyard at the back of the campus but when we got there, a group of people was already filming there. So we had to find another place to shoot. Eventually we…
Week 7 Initiative – Spook Street Shooting 01
So my journey with Tough Times Don’t Last ended and a new one begins. This time it is a TV series called Spook Street. And I work as the 2nd AD for the show. It’s my first time working on a set so everything was new to me! My job was to use the clapperboard to keep track of the…
PB3 – Reflection & Further Improvement
Please read through my two other posts on the process first so you understand the situation fully. PB3 – Pre-production PB3 – Post-production PB3 is finally done and GOD I’ve got so much to say. Let’s start from the beginning. So if you read my post on week 7’s workshop you would know that I did another interview prior this…
Week 8 Workshop
Well it seems like everyone is kind of drained by the long process of making PB3 and I feel exactly the same. Sometimes I wish it could just be over so I can sleep for 40 hours without thinking at all. But then again making videos is something that always interests me. Interviews might not really be my thing but…
Week 6 Initiative – Tough Times w/ RMITV (3/3)
This this the last time for me to work with the crew!! Kind of sad but still excited. This time I was assigned to be the switcher first and then the lighting designer. Switching is now like a piece of cake for me haha and I don’t think anyone else does it better than me (except Jenny). Lighting design is…
Week 7 Workshop
Feedbacks on the rough cut: Tristan suggested that it would be cool to explain that Jarrod and I met on the train and had a conversation which led to the interview that we did later. More cutaways (as there’s only a wide shot in the rough cut). Adjust the volume of the clips to the same level. I forgot to…
Week 6 Workshop
In this week’s workshop we got to do another group exercise and this time I was assigned to 4 guys (Joshua, Joey, Matt and Tristan), which was great because I did not have to carry anything that’s heavy haha. The title is ‘misunderstanding’, which got us stuck for a while before we could work out a doable story. Another requirement…
Week 8 Lecture & Reading & Reflection
When I was reading through ‘The Night of a Thousand Wizards’, I knew that I got way too excited for a media reading. The Harry Potter series basically took up 1/2 of my childhood (the other 1/2 was taken by those great anime films made by Hayao Miyazaki). I’m a fan of both until the day I die. As an…
PB3 – Post-production
So basically my audio is shit and I panicked so hard. The speaking voice is so low that I could barely hear and if I turn it up, the noise gets louder and interrupts the voice. I still don’t know if it’s something wrong with the microphone or the camera. I checked the audio when we were shooting and it…
