finally,completed shooting!we will transfer the footages tmrw because the hereafter was already closed when we finished.we are probably about more than 1/2 -done with the editing.today we did the colour corrector thingy and some effects. the voice over was already put in but it got overwritten during the process so tmrw we will put it back again.
-left with adding the new footages, some music and of course,credits.

editing is actually fun but its quite tiring and can be irritating too.so,we need to focus and do our best to complete everything before the due date.

We met up to edit again today.

We have cut and arranged our footages/scenes in order, but without the voice-over (Minghan forgot to bring his thumbdrive and it was raining so heavily that he could not go back to take it!), it was hard to predict how short/long each scene will be.

So far, our whole video is 13 minutes long without the intro, outro and credits! 2 of our front scenes had accidentally been overwrite and we were supposed to film them today but apparently, the casts couldn't make it. Hence, we have to wait till monday.

We are left with the voice-over, the editing of colour and lighting of each scene, the effects for the transition (fade in, fade out...etc) of each scene, the intro, outro, credits and CD cover.

That. Is. ALOT.

Time is seriously running out, I suddenly feel so scared. I'm really afraid we won't be able to finish on time (because Minghan and I still have DESIGN HISTORY AND CULTURE).

Tomorrow's a sunday. We were planning to meet actually, but apparently the security guard said the school would be CLOSED. Another day wasted.

I think... we are going to have sleepless nights for the next 3 days after tomorrow.

march 20th

Today we started editing our footage with Final Cut Pro. It was something new for me as I did not pay attention during Video Fundamentals when Yoke Ee taught us how to use it. We still have 2 shots not done because the talents are currently unavailable. They should be free on Monday and we will shoot the final 2 then. We will also continue editing on Monday after getting the 2 shots done. It will be quick because we don't have much effects or animation in our video.

It was a rather tiring day today. Ming han and I had H&C presentation on SINCITY and then we carried on with our filming after our lesson.

Filmed the "school scenes" in school and then we headed to my house to film the "home scenes". Initially, James and my friend (either one of them) were supposed to be one of the casts (the role of the 'Father'), but James suddenly had re-shooting to do and my friend all of a sudden couldn't make it too! Luckily, we found Wen Jun who was free! Thank you so much Wen Jun if not we wouldn't know what to do.

I must admit it was really really fun filming with Minghan and Syuhada! And of course, with our casts (Aaron, Julia, Annabel and Wen Jun)!

After today, I told myself I MUST MAJOR IN VIDEO! Filming is actually so fun (even though it's tiring) but I'm enjoying every second of it! 

Everyone went home around 12 - 1 am! We didn't even eat our dinner man!!! 

Alright, it's 2:10 am and I am deadbeat. We will continue filming at 11 am in the morning before we meet Yoke Ee at 1 pm! IT'S OUR INTERIM 2 TOMORROW! (or rather TODAY)

Hopefully we can get all the scenes filmed by tomorrow! Yes I know our group is quite slow as others are already editing but it's okay! Guess we'll just have to sacrifice our weekends!

I am really excited and I can't wait to see our end product!

March 16, 2009

Today we started production. Cheryl got her friends, Aaron and Julia to act in our film as the couple. We got about 5-6 scenes done and a lot more to go. Tomorrow, on Tuesday, Aaron and Julia will not be free so Cheryl and I will be doing our Design History and Culture work. On Wednesday, we will be heading to Cheryl's place to film. It is going to be a fun experience there because the shots that will be taken there are funny. Consultation will be on Thursday and hopefully our filming would be done by then.

I know we have been lacking of updates, so sorry about it. We'll find time to update the previous missing posts. We completely changed our final idea/solution and for the past week, we have been digging our brains and searching on the internet for inspirations because 3 of us ran out of ideas!

After so long, we finally finalized our script today. We will be sending it to Yoke Ee tonight and hopefully our idea gets approved then we can start filming!

Almost everyone has started filming/finished filming already. I feel that our group is really lacking behind, but it's okay! I believe we will still be able to film finish. The next 2 weeks is gonna be so tough and tiring because Ming Han and I still have another module, Design History & Culture. I guess we really need to manage our time well.

Alright, off to bed!
