Day 17

DHNC class ended at 10.45 am. We ate lunch and went to 2d lab to upload the videos we took yesterday. We went for moip1 class, our group the only group which everyone was present, projector cannot work after uploading files into the computer, and we moved to another classroom.
Our group went to present first. Mr Ronald said that our storyboard was incomplete. He gave all of us till next Monday to finalize the scripts, storyboard and time schedule.
Everyone left after that, and we used the classroom for shooting honey. This scene was supposed to show Honey, Andreas, Nafisah and me in the midst of a discussion. The camera will then pan and zoom to Honey after awhile, about 10 to 15 seconds. In order to simulate a realistic discussion, we had to talk about online gaming to make Honey more natural. It will be muted so it's not important what we talk about.
After that, we shot Honey's interview sequence. Me and Gary tried the make her backdrop, which is me, Nafisah and Andreas still discussing while she was being interviewed, out of focus and Honey in Focus, but after awhile and some help from the year 2s we concluded that the camera we are using does not allow this. Sigh. Thus, we made the background lighting dimmer.
We soon found out that we need to rewrite the script to make it sound more professional. Honey had an empty stomach, so we let her grab some food while we edit her script. We squeezed our brain juices for bombastic words.
Her finalized script was then projected on the screen.
After shooting for awhile, the nightmare begins.
Camera went out of batter. Gary accidentally shut down the computer. Script was not saved. Good thing we had some takes. Gary was super apologetic and he offered to go home and sacrifice tonight's sleep by listening to the video and rewriting the script.
Poor Gary. Everyone got so stressed and tired till we were giving silly smiles.
