Week 15, 17 Dec. Reflection.

Taking video is really a tough task! 

After this whole semester, I would like to salute every video production crew 

and their production. Now I understood why some movies took

years to complete. Before start of shooting, there are a lot of stuff to be done. 

For the final assignment, I grouped with Balqis and Aina and we are doing

Balqis's story. After a short discussion, Balqis is the director because she

wrote this story and she's the one who most understand what this story about. Then, Aina is the editor and I will be the cameraman. 

Since Balqis found her music box is not the couple statue but ballerina statue so we have to find another to replace it. The music box that we found on web is way too expensive and apparently we can't afford. Then Balqis went to KLCC and look for it. She bought one but that one is too different style with the story so we didn't use that. In the end, our decision is DIY the doll ourselves and 

  I'm the in charged of making the couple dolls of the music box. It took time to make the doll because the clay that I used is too soft and need time to dry. I planned to do more detail on the dolls actually but it's really too soft. It deformed every time because I accidentally hold too tight. Anyway, I made it although it doesn't looked like what I expected. Felt so sorry to group mates.

And then, I made a big mistake. Felt bad to everyone again, I'm sorry guys. I went 7-11 before we starting to shoot. First time I went, I ask one of the shopkeeper first but he said he couldn't decide so I ask the cashier. The cashier told me he couldn't give me permission also so then he asked another worker who just came in the shop. I asked him, HE SAID CAN. He even asked me what device that we going to use. I answered him DSLR and he said ok again. That's why I thought he's the manager. On the day before we shooting, I went there again to inform the same person our shooting time and he said ok again. But then, we forced to cancel our shooting in the 7-11. I never expected that would happen. Lesson learnt. Never just ask, write a letter. Black and white is the proof. So sorry sir for wasting your time, sorry sir!

I have not too many problems on camera and I really learnt a lot.Before this I never used a  DSLR before, so I don't really know what is ISO and the difference between using the different sizes of lens. To be honest, I have zero interest about video production before this semester. I watch videos, dramas and movies but I never interested in how they made it. But now, I changed. I started recognizing the shot type and the shooting angle when i'm watching videos.

I'm getting interest in video shooting. I hope I can make a good video in one day. I will try!

And the last, THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR!
