My First Film (Day 2)

Yay! Day 2 of filming! Day 1 we had 2 missing shots so we added the shots on Day 2!

Disaster came... The previous night my dad told he had charged the video camera. I trusted him so much and I grabbed the video camera and went off to meet my casts. 

When we arrived at the filming location, I realised the battery was half gone. Oh dear, my friends asked me if I brought the charger. When I was at home I thought it's unnecessary to bring it along with me since my dad had charged fully. Without much delay since we can't changed what had happen, we tried to film as much as we can. About finishing a few scenes, the battery went dead. I was super worried and I promised to get it done within 2 days. My casts suggested to use one of our mates iPhone 6 plus to film. Without further hesitation, I used it to finish filming. It was really double trouble day, thankfully after finishing our film the phone storage got insufficient. Funny right? The credits part we used our another mate's iPod to film.

In total we used 3 devices to film this short 4 minutes comedy film. WOW impressive isn't it. Thanks for my friends' understanding. They didn't blame me at all, at most... #facepalm. Thanks to all my friends once again for helping me to finish my first film in my life. Love you all so much! XOXO  



Thanks and after all, I got accepted by the school!
I'll forever remember you guys who helped me to pursue my dream course

My First Film (Day 1)

Hey readers, have you watched my first short comedy film? It's about some of my secondary school life. I had really good time filming with my friends who helped me. The purpose I'm doing this film is because I was hoping that this film will get me into the course I want for the next stop of my education. It's Digital Film & Television from Temasek Polytechnic. Well... We spent 2 days to finish the whole film. Of course some tripping stones in between. 

In the beginning, it was rather tough for me as I didn't have any experience at all. Close to zero knowledge about filming, my film buddy Russell Goh who helped me and generous enough to share his knowledge as he went film studies before. Telling me what he had not done well, and the power when controlling his casts.

Secondly, the venue, I was thinking to film in my ex-school. Unfortunately, the principal only allowed us to film one day, which is totally impossible. Therefore I was really worried that I could not get through the interview of JPSAE (Joint Poly Admission Exercise) without a film to present. But I was fortunate enough that one of my cast helped me to think of a solution. Tuition Centre! Thanks to the person in-charge, they are very willing to lend us their place to film. Thank Goodness! 

Moving On! Then after, the venue is already set. But the cast (my friends) are unable to schedule their timings, there were some conflict in between, like some were unable to go for meeting. No choice, I have to substitute some of them to others. Thankfully some of my other friends are very willing to help me. There! The first day of filming, ended quite smoothly.


THANKS GUYS!!!
