very sian
Today was bad. I didnt like it ): Hais firstly the props was too small.. All the preparation didnt work out as well as we wanted cos the lightings CHUI also.. I got kan chiong cause i did not have much chance with the mixer and also communicating with the camera people outside. Im just too kan chiong. Then directing with the cast wasn't that good too due to time constraint. Everything just wasn't that great.. But at least we tried.. Thats what i can only say. Helping Jake's group was fun as their planning was great and we have more timee working on rehearsals and etc. Having my hair all ties up, i feel like a pancake face. LOL. But for work, i wouldnt mind it of course. Just hope sincerly that i wouldnt score THAT badly and i would calm down more. YES I WILL.

Draft script!
Host
Question 1
Hi here with us today is a special guest from Temasek Design School, Mr________. Thanks for being here sir.
Guest
Oh it’s my pleasure (hand moves to his chest)
Host
So, tell us about your latest short film?
Guest
Oh we’ve just finished shooting “Lost Sandals” (holds up sandal) that took us about two months(card with '2'), and it’s been great. We’re hoping to get a positive(a '+' sign) support from everyone.
Host
Oh, that’s good to hear.
Question 2
So, what was your inspiration for the film?
Well, it’s based on my own experience when I was young. I lost my sandals(holds up shoes) while playing football(takes up football). It took me a big courage to actually walked home bare footed. It was just embarrassing but memorable.
Host
Question 3
How was the process of making your film?
Guest
The process was definitely tedious as it’s my first(takes out wrong card no '2' and quickly changes to no '1') time directing a short film. But working with such a great and supportive team made everything possible
Host
Question 4
Oh, but what were some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced?
Guest
Handling the unpredictable weather as most scenes were shot outdoors. and not forgetting our main cast, Johnny, who got into a minor incident on the day of shooting. We had to postpone the shoot till he fully recovers. It somehow affects the production but I’m glad everything’s fine now.(gives a thumb up)
Host
Question 5
Who are some of your favourite filmmakers?
Guest
Quentin Tarantino and Tim Burton(bring both their pics out) as they’re unique in their own way
Host
Question 6
Tell us more about your next project?
Guest
There are few projects lining up which includes a Chinese drama that I’m working on. But for the moment, I’m taking a breather as I’m getting married soon. (kept on talking non stop...)
Host
Oh congratulations! That’
So, thank you once again for being here and hope the film will be a success yeah.

What rinna came up with together with the actions i came up with (:
oh no ):
Today met up with jake, bet, jem, rinna, gary to have a small rehearsal for the interview tomorrow. Basically, we are just reading the lines and discussing about the actions, props and also the dressing for the host and interviewee. It ended quite quickly thou we are late (only me and bet) for an hour. Our content for the interview was more formal whereas their group's wasmore causual.. They wanted jingyuan and gary as the host and interviewee. But as jingyuan wasnt feeling well, she as being sub by me. They requested gary to be in shirt and a wig with gold rings etc. They wanted him to flex those fingers through the wig and talk in a slow lazy manner. The thought of it was already funny! HA! For my group, initially we just wanted a formal interview. But after some consideration, we wanted the director of our interview to be slightly more enthuisatic with more props on his hand to make the whole interview looks more lively. We wanted mal to be the host while jake could be the director. But as mal wasnt feeling well too, betty have to sub for her. HOPE BOTH OF OUR MATES CAN PULL THROUGH! PORK FLU! We asked bet to dress formal and jake to be in plain button up shirt and skinnies.
OH as for my title of this post states, i didnt realise that we are supposed to hand in the documents of the floor plan to bertrand(you)!!! We will hand in by tomorrow!!! When we are doing the interview!!! Sorry bout the delay.. Really didnt hear you saying until we asked the other group.. *slap ourself!*

rehearsal on technical side
Our group team up with jake's group for the in studio assignment and all of us thinks that its a good idea if we could do some rehearsal for thurs as we are like new to multicams and all. But as Jingyuan was not feeling that well, she left early so the rest stayed and so we only work with the techincal aspect as yuan is the interviewee for the their group. We waited for andrea's group to finish working on their rehearsal before starting ours. Basically, just setting up a rough guage for lightings so that all goes smoothly when it comes to our turn.
For my group, we are going to 4 point lighting. With two 1ks (one onto the backdrop and one to the subject) and 2 kinos (one on the floor and one on the subject). Thou im not sure whether it will be the final lightings. Still open to changes (:
We are going to settle the rehearsal for the interviews tomorrow and prepare props of we need any. Okay its late and i will go to sleep. NIGHT!

Guest speaker!
Lighting lessons!!
First time finally that i can really become some what like a gaffer. Because normally for productions, i dont really get the chance to handle lightings (due to height constraint). And it might be cause im accident prone too so i might just drop a few lights that people pull me away from doing this job. So when Rosali (if its his name...) came, he sort of understand the situation of the class and then proceed on to some resolution, which is spliting us, giving us some hands on work.
Im in Group 2 and we initially wanted to go level 6 and i went to check and there wasnt a suitable place for us to work on.. so in the end ,we found this classroom at level 4. The room got two big window so we can learn how to balance the exposure outside the window with the ones inside the room. At the start, we sort of experimented ourselves and then rosali came in to see us in mess. So he sort of took charge and tell us some ways to try it out. Using ceilings or whiteboard to bounce off lights, some lights as the back light to act as highlights and also to tighten the shot so as to cut off more light coming from the window as our equipment does not allow us to be able to balance the exposure outside the window. After the wide shot, he told us to change to the side CU of the subjects and using the window as the key light and maybe some lights at the front of the subjects to balance the lights.
But i think as an overall, we sort of made the lightings a little to safe as we sort of lit up the whole place instead of trying out different high contrasting lightings or some other ways of lighting. At least we did learn the main concept of lightings and get hands on work with it. A good start (: Really looking forward to more of it! YEAH!

But i heard from gary that the people in class sort of played with the mixer a little to get the hang of it. Gary even offer to teach me about the mixer since i was the mixer of his group. HAHA! But to be honest, I FEEL DAMN NOT GOOD ABOUT THE MIXER!! SO MANY SCREEN, MY EYES... AHHHH!!!!! Okay but i think should be able to pull through la. I hope :\ Anyways tomorrow we will be having guest speaker. Quite excited about the whole thing actually. See how it goes tmr~

1st entry of the module
HELLOs to all!!
Its been a long time since i did journal once again :\ So forgive me on my bad english. Okay school started bad because i just cant wake on time!! I put my alarm on at 700 but instead i woke up at 8-815 ): Sorry bertrand i will try my very best next week!!
Other then this problem im facing, class seems to be alright or in fact interesting (: I've always wanted to try mixing because during live shows, i often comment on other people's mixing skills. But i realised that it wasn't as easy as it seem. It requires alot of coordination with the camera people and also you must be very focus and able to think quickly when problems arrive.
Oh and im going to be the mixer for the up coming in studio assignment that we'll be doing. I hope i can focus and do a good job out of it thou the picture in picture parts are complicated.
jiayous to my group members(:
