pre-production day 1
today is the first day of p2, also the last block of the year! time really flies..
went for briefing in LT with the rest of the year 2. It has been quite some time since the whole of MOI year 2 actually squeeze together in one LT.
Alan then gave us a briefing on our p2. hahaha. urgh, it seems dull and boring initially, with the same usual pre-production things that we need to prepare, the production stages and then the post-production (editing and etc.)
however, one thing that was different this time is that the story that we were to choose are from aesopfables. they sorta and kind of have a meaning behind each story that is being told.
after alan's briefing, we broke out to our different classes to being further broken down into groups. Julian was my lecturer. Initially, we thought we were able to choose our own group, as we all know this is P2. Most of us want to commit fully to P2, in which, hopefully our P2 video will be able to act as our portfolio. however, this was not the case. we were broken down into our groups by numbers. AND thus, the people that are in my group are YiJie, Suhbah, Rachel, Novem and HuiZhen. A brand whole new and dynamic people that i have never worked with before. I have seen them working with other people, heard stories bout them, well, that are all in the past. since we are together now, its time to start brand new, start afresh!
haha. after we broken down into our individual groups, we started on our pre-production preparation. as mentioned earlier on, we were to go to http://aesopfables.com to retrieve the story that we want to work with. I sourced for my story when i were home later in the day. after going through the different stories, i have decided to work with this story : the vixen and the lioness. the morale of the story is about quality and not quantity. i chose to work with this story as i felt that this storyline was plausible to work with, compared to the others. I also chose to work with this story as i felt that there is a very strong meaning to its morale. After i chose the story, i continued on with the forming up of the storyline. after brainstorming some ideas, i decided to work with this idea. the storyline is somehow like this: its about this rich mother who pampered and spoilt her twin sons (antagonist), not teaching them the right way of life, the right morale and the right attitude while this other poor mother raised her one and only son up with the right morale and attitude. whenever these two mothers met, the rich mum would always spite and despise the poor mum. the twins were bullies in sch, always bullying their friends. one day, they bullied this guy (they did not know that he was involved in gang activites or sort of). this guy did not retaliate when he was bullied cause he was alone. the protagonist happened to pass by, stopped the twins from bullying. * climax of the story * The guy that was bullied was indeed not happy, went to confront the twins after school with his friends. it was their turn. they whacked the twins up. Luckily for the twins, the protagonist saw it. talked to them and they decided to stop. the story ends when the protagonist helped the antagonist back to their home. * changes in story * the mother was very guilty at what she has said and done to the protagonist mum, ends off with a black on screen ( a phone call between the mothers, with the rich mother apologising to the other.)
morale of the story: it does not matter whether one have two or more kids. whats the point of having so many children when they do not have the proper right morale value. it is still better off having one that has the proper right morale value and cares for others!
this is still the first edition of the story. i'll just wait for my grp members review tml.. if they are pleased with the storyline, maybe we will go into the second stage of the story development..
summarizing today, i learnt smth. i learnt how to derive story from just a short paragraph of words. It is quite interesting to write and see the story forming at the same time (though it was quite frustrating when you cant link the story).. i also learnt how to immediately recognize the protagonist and the antagonist. learnt to write a story that changes from the beginning to the end (* there must be a change in the storyline, if nt it is nt a gd story.)
well, thats all for now for story development and pre-production!
lets see what is in store tml.
