We did call sheet,timeline, mood board and arranged the storyboard.Did tiny changes to the script and combined them in the proposal including research.

Based on our research call sheet are imperative to organizing a film shoot. They help your crew and cast to be organized, on time and prepared, and help keep your production on schedule. Essentially, it is your plan for what is going to be shot on any given day.

1)Start with basic information, the date, what day of the shoot it is (such as Day 2 of 9) and where the location is. List your crew call time (example 7 a.m.) and the time you expect to begin shooting (example 8:30 a.m.).

2) Start with the first scene of the day. List the scene number, the numbers of the cast needed for that scene (See How to Breakdown a Script for Film Production Scheduling), and the cast call time.

3) Complete the above step for each scene to be shot that day.

4) Include additional crew information toward the bottom of the page, for example extras needed, stand-ins, etc.

Today was a fun day, we went around the school to take photographs for our storyboard. We were only able to take photographs indoors due to the rain but we got most of them. I feel that taking photographs for storyboard is good because drawing takes a lot of effort and I can't draw. It also gives us an accurate feel of how our shots will look like when we are filming. We will be taking outdoor shots for our storyboard tomorrow and do mood board.

Today was yet another consultation day. However, we learnt from Siew Cheng that writing a script isn't just writing a composition. It is supposed to be in a form of a dual column script. Initially, I was confused and found it quite complicating when Siew Cheng was explaining how to write an actual script. We finally realized the importance of research, and that we have not done enough research! So after class, we headed to one of the labs to do our research, and here's what our group found!

2 Column Shooting Script
A shooting script contains a very elaborate description of all shots, locations, character, action, sound and technical details of the film. Shooting script serves the following functions.

-The shooting script is a breakdown of all all camera placements and movements. All shots must have bolded shot descriptions:: ECU- extreme close up/ CU- close up / MCU- medium close up / LS- long shot or FS- full shot/ ELS- extreme long shot/ OTS- over the shoulder / XO- Cross-Shots-/ BEV- Bird’s Eye View/ 2S-FS - two shot full shot / WEV- Worms Eye View.

-Remember to include changes in camera angles and height in your descriptions as well.

-Every shot you chose should be motivated by the action and emotion in the script.

-Remember that your audience is looking for clues to understanding the details of your story.

-Remember WALLDO when visualizing your shots: (Wide, Angles, Linking shots, Low angles, Depth, Opposites)

-Any special effects or titles should also included in the shot descriptions.

-The shooting script also divides the film into separate locations. Therefore, all locations can be fixed and the possible shooting problems inherent in these locations can be foreseen.

-The script can be a guide in determining the exact length of the film by mentally timing out each shot.

-The script provides a break-down for the actors as to which shots and scenes they will be appearing in, when they will be needed during shooting.

-The shooting script includes the exact dialogue and sound you will hear at each precise moment of production.

Our final script would look something like this:

Sample Scene- In the drawing room of a house, a mother is pleading with the father. But the father remains stubborn. Their son is ease dropping on their conversations with a pistol in his hand.

Very detailed and specific. This will also make things much easier, simpler and not so complicated when doing our storyboard.

After a tiring and long day, we finally completed our script!

We will be starting our storyboarding tomorrow. (:

-Cheryl Teo

Today,we did a rough storyboard. So we can visualize better,before doing the script.Research on mood board.Ming Han entertained Cheryl and me with his cards tricks-which some will be included in the video.
-syuhada

Today we had no lessons as it was consultation day.

We have all decided to use Ming Han's idea (the card tricks) for our final video. However, we would either be modifying certain parts or combining some of Syuhada/my ideas together with his.

The following days ahead are going to be stressful! We have get ready our storyboard, moodboard, timeline, proposal and research by next friday!!! 

Time is running fast, we have not much time! So it's time to work!

Till then.

Feb 17 2009

Group 1, 2 and 5(us) presented our work individually today. I thought we all were good. I did not attend class yesterday so I don't know how the presentation would be like and what is required. Luckily everything went smoothly during presentation and I hope I did not stutter. We will be deciding who's idea we will be using today. I think we did pretty well today as half a class because Siew Cheng said we did better than the other half that presented yesterday. Cheers.

-Ming Han

today grup 3,4 and 6 present their individual work.I came to watch them present because im nt sure what to put on the ppt. most of their ideas are good and unique.currently,squeezing my brain for the second idea

- syuhada

We had a short class today and Siew Cheng explained the P1 assignment to us. Xian Ming and I were cracking our heads as to what on earth is the design problem but today we found out that there is no design problem. I learned that the presentation on Monday/Tuesday is the same as our Council for Third Age exercise. We have to do a powerpoint presentation and proposal individually. Then Siew Cheng conducted individual consultation and I went off. There will be a mad rush I'm guessing.

-Ming Han

It was presentation day today! Learnt a lot of things from the other groups and I am indeed amazed by some of their brilliant ideas. 

Siew Cheng said that many of us focused a lot on the detailed floor plan, location...etc. but actually, we should focus more on how we are going to make the youth and elderly want to come together to this particular event/place to bond. What will attract the youth? What will attract the elderly? Many of us tend to forget to take into consideration the feelings of the senior citizens and assumed that they will definitely be present at the event/place.

I felt quite satisfied with our group presentation. All our hard effort and work paid off! However, Siew Cheng commented that the way I presented today felt like I found this exercise boring. I guess I have to be more aware of the way I speak/present in future because it will affect my marks! And I definitely enjoyed this project with Ming Han and Syuhada! It was like a new experience for me to work with teammates from other classes.

Well done WHYWESAMEGROUP!

10/2/09- the day before presentation

We met up to finalise our work -(research,proposal and ppt).Found some new infos.Divide the slides for the presentation. Spent more than 6 hrs in the lab,luckily we were able to finish it.
- syuhada

Today Siew Cheng explained how to go about writing a design proposal to us and what are the steps to solve a design problem.

1. Design Problem
2. Design Statement
3. Target Audience
4. Analysis of research materials
5. Objectives
6. Strategies
7. Medium
8. Concept
9. Synopsis

Design Problem - for us to solve, and we must come up with a Design Statement.

Target audience - can be differentiated by age, gender and financial status and others which I won't mention.

Analysis of research materials - survey results with analysis.

Objectives - the goal we want to attain with this project.

Strategies - what steps to take in the programs to promote bonding between younger and older generation Singaporeans, what is the purpose of having the programs.

Medium - the center and its programs.

Concept - why is it a center and not something else, what are the functions of the center and explanation.

Synopsis - summary of concept of the center, what other programs that would be offered in the future if further funding is given, general introduction and ideas of the center, reinforcement of what we hope to achieve.

We did the base for our presentation and we will be meeting again on Tuesday to finalize our presentation.

-Ming Han

4th day

Today, Siew Cheng passed around 2 books (>60s Centre) containing innovative and creative ideas contributed by our very own students in TP. The main target audience is specially for the elderly.

Siew cheng also showed us two FYP videos today. Both videos are related to the bonding and connection between the youth and the elderly. We were supposed to compare both videos and decide which is the better one, in terms of quality, sound, colour, storyline...etc. This will help us to improve our observational skills too.

After that, we had consultation for our first exercise, the "Third Age".

Last but not least, we have to research on how to write a design proposal!

-Cheryl Teo

3rd Day

Today no class..but we watched a collection of short films by ex-student-Victric Thng.The films are nice and I like the narration.After the thing,we had a short group discussion and came up with some new ideas for the third age.
-syuhada

2nd Day

We discussed as a group about the steps in the design process and the role of a designer. My group and I came up with a few points about the role of a designer while Siew Cheng explained the steps in the design process. First we should have a design problem and a design statement that isn't too long, preferably one sentence. We should then do research on the problem and explore different solutions to it. We should also challenge the different solutions and find out which will work best for this particular design problem. We then validate the best solution and check to see if it works correctly, will it generate more problems, and what are the pros and cons of the solution. Siew Cheng also explained to us in detail what are we supposed to do for the Council for Third Age in Singapore exercise and P1 assignment as a lot of us are unsure of what is required.
