pre-production day 3

today is the day 3 of P2 - also the 3rd day of our PRE-PRODUCTION!
met up with my team in class.. as usual ah.. that yijie always late! =P stay jurong big deal uh yijie! hahaha
showed my team the production set design. had quite a few comments thou. there were pretty much positive feedbacks from them regarding the "forbidden area" which i have included in. we all felt that the "forbidden area" has brought about a better link in our story. Initially, the ending of our story is something like a guy picking up that mischievous apple, consumed it and then throw it remaining back at the "forbidden area". The apple will then be 'hurt' and then be left there to die.. there is how our story wanted to end initially.
However, after consultation with Julian this morning, there were different opinions from him. He felt that we should not combined both FANTASY and REALITY in our story, as there were different elements that were involved. He felt that if we wanted to focus on fantasy, we should just stick to fantasy. we then should not touch reality. The reality that i meant here would be the HAND coming in to picked up the apple to eat it.
If you guys remember my initial set design, there were knives on injured apples in the "forbidden area". The knives on these injured apples were also another point that Julian felt that it was rather much related to reality. why would there be knives and why are the knives doing there..
these are some of the questions that were posted to us..

so, the big issue and big decision just now was.. whether do we want to stick with the fantasy idea and abort reality or make use of reality and abort the fantasy idea. i personally felt that the fantasy idea would be cool if we decided to carry on with it. i felt that there were some discomfort among my grp members in this morning team meeting.. i would say that not all of us were focused in the morning.. most of us were paying not attention to each other.. i have to admit it was rather unprofessional..however, we managed to settle this and continued on with the discussion of our project..

us discussing..



so other than questions that were thrown to us by Julian, Julian also gave us some ideas that we can work with for our storyline. this in return sparked off more ideas within us.. right now, we have decided to say BYE BYE to apples and say HELLO to tomatoes. my team decided to work with tomatoes rather than apples because we felt that tomatoes are cuter.. whatever. AND, not only that, we have decided to throw away the idea of the slaughterhouse/forbidden land and introduce a new character.. the smelly DURIAN! he wud be the antagonist while the tomato will be the protagonist.

yes! that is it! that is our new storyline.. the whole tone and outlook of the video would be funny and very kiddy.. after we decided on where we want our final storyline to be heading, it is time to get down to work!
huizhen & novem are both doing the script and the storyboard;
me & yijie will be finalising the set design wwhile..
suhbah & rachel will source for the props which i have asked to to go look for..

me & yijie stayed to built our production set!
