production day 1

hell0! today is my bday! =) yes! i'm 19. well, a year older, which means should be a year smarter, a year more mature and a year more whatever it is.. LOL.

today supposed to celebrate my bday! but still, there is P2 to be done. well, bday aside.
today is day one of our production. crew call time was at 930.. met up with my team members in school.
huizhen has done a script breakdown or rather a shooting schedule for all the team members during the weekend. have to say i was quite impressed.. she was definitely sure of what she wanted. afterall, she is the assistant director.


today supposed to start shooting our first scene at 1100. we were actually supposed to be ready with our props and everything by 1100. 930 was the call time. we have 1 1/2 hours to get everything done. however, some unforseen circumstances caught up with us last minute. Firstly, the size of our set was too big to pass through the main door leading to the 3-10 classrooms. Thus, we have to cut the front section of the set up (luckily for us, there was quite alot of empty space infront). Then as we were in the classroom (3-10A), we were faced with another problem. The lightings in the classroom were very much different from the one that we expected in the Audioroom. Thus, we spent quite some time before we managed to settle down on a lighting that the whole team was pleased and happy with. and so as we continued on with our production, another problem caught up. As the whole team was settled down and happy with our working environment, a lecturer by the name of Roslin came in and said that he was having a class there from the time of 3-6pm. The few of us were stunned and did not know what to to do. Luckily for us, we managed to contact Julian. WOW. was touched that he actually came all the way down to the classroom even though he was in the middle of EE ( i believe its external examination). he came all the way down to our team's rescue. the whole team was definitely very grateful. Julian managed to get the Roslin's class to move to another classroom while we complete our shoot for today and move to another classroom tml.

URGH! tml we gotta find another location in the classroom that will have the same lighting temperature as the one that we are using for in 3-10A classroom.. hopefully it is not gonna take up too much time... today production was quite interesting and schedule was quite on time even though we took up quite some time in the setting up for the shoot. Huizhen did a right thing by scheduling more than enough time for one scene when t
hat particular scene do not need that much amount of time. Another thing that i felt huizhen and novem did right were that our team's pre-production were planned quite detailed. Novem (director) and huizhen (asst-director) knew what they wanted in the video and thus when it came to production, everything fell nicely into place one after another..

tts about it for production day 1.. looks like we are able to finish our shoot on time (wednesday). lets hope that tml production will be another successful day!


before i end off, happy bday to myself!
