DAy (Sunday; suppose to reshoot day)


The sky and atmosphere was terrible due to the haze! Stupid haze! That we have to postpone to another day! and the river was sort of polluted. WHY??? Why this day?? After so, we discussed the next shooting scene, video props, the things we haven't do.. Yup! and guess what, we discussed in a COLD COLD COLD FRIDGE! The Macdonald was so SO cold!! I kept going to the balcony to warm myself up. After an hour or 2, I left the "fridge". Not a fruitful day!

OKAYOKAY!! Today I'm the lead!! haha! I had a hard time thinking what to wear! Cause I love white white white!!! BUT!! not allowed!! And I'm a mood person. I dress according to my mood unless I got nothing much to choose from. SO that day, I'm happy! Bright colour... yup! We were 1 hour late for the shooting time. Hanis and Laurie got DSLR for me!!! I'M SO TOUCHED! but we don't really know how to use Hanis's camera. Kinda big and bulky. THANK YOU TO BOTH HANIS AND LAURIE!! I used Laurie's camera instead. Tell you, I think I'm the worst of all! When I see the camera, my mind go blank! and the shooting was terrible that we have to reshoot again. I'm SO SORRY, group mates!! =X I wish my mind don't go blank when I see the camera! oh.. while shooting, a lot of people looking at us. As though we're some weird people.. (I think we're to them) This add another level of stress. Group mates; stress. Camera; stress. Time; stress. ALL STRESS! But I will do well the next shoot!!!

Stamford House. Glenn's Studio. The room that we're using for our Drawing Essential. The place is recommended by Laurie. And yup.. this time, as what we discussed to do earlier on, we took clay work from school and change the shelves. It looks better as backdrop. Hui Qin was the lead today! I remember the night before we actually discussed a lot for her dressing. NO white! NO yellow (due to the place). It was so troublesome she have to borrow clothes from neighbour. And, she's a very hardworking person! She brought 3 sets of top to check with us. =) yup! Back to the scene, the artist, I forgot how to spell her name, she's really a sweet and dear person. She drew 2 of Hui Qin's portraits in 1 hour's time. Amazing ah.. You know what, to draw someone is much easier than being drawn. Hui Qin was like staring into space for 1 hour! Each time she rest, tears came down from her eyes. Really funny. I think that's also the reason why she didn't smile. TOO much to stay in the "smile" position. HAH


At evening time, after a short rest, Laurie and Hanis went in to the room again. This time they shoot the life drawing of a nude lady. Hanis was quite nervous about it and I wanted to accompany her. But I was somewhere else when they go in. Seriously, I really don't dare to go in, to shoot. HAH! I find it embarrassing actually. I know we're the same BUT!! it's totally different thing!!! yes!! anyway, from what we saw from the photos they took, I think the artists were really good! wow! I think one of them is a student from National JC. I was like "WOW"! She got the time to do drawing? Moreover, NJC is one of the top JC in Singapore, stress and work load should be higher. Well, heard from Mrs... Yah! The lady boss, she said she's pursuing an Art University in overseas after she graduate. And they need life drawing for portfolio. WOW! why didn't she join Design school or Art school then? hahah!! Sorry, I'm being too busybody.. Well, I guess that's all for the day.

As what I said the day before, I believe for a better tomorrow. Well, we did have a better tomorrow. =) Today is DM fund, Hanis!!! YEAH!! we went to mac lab after our 3-6pm lesson. And happy thing was there wasn't a single soul there. We play and riot there! hahaha! Oh yes, forgot to introduce to you that, for each module, we'll have different people doing different roles. Firstly, we can try out different roles. Secondly, we know what we like and dislike. We have 4 roles; directorphotographer, camera person, audio & set up. SO, director for today is Sholleh, Photographer is me Betty, Camera person Laurie and Hui Qin as audio & set up. Hanis was a little nervous in the beginning but after that, she's amazing! haha! She crap a lot after a few rounds. COol? We had some fun with the school's Mac. Here are the some fun we had.. haha! they're really funny.. (AH!!! I couldn't find the other photos..) EEEEE!!!!!!!! I dislike UPLOADING PHOTOS!! SO troublesome!!!! AHHH!!! Kept running around! AHHHHHH!!!! RED!!!!!! We had a short briefing after the whole shoot. Like the reflection of the day, how we can improve personally or as a group, things to be done, encouragement to one another for the shoot the next day. =DDD I think this is a very good thing, so that we can move on as a group, not individual.

TOday is the first day of shooting. Minds Cafe. ACtually, there's something that I learnt. That we have to call and ask for permission earlier if we want to shoot outside. Anyway, I called the Minds Cafe branch up and referred me here and there until the manager himself. I thought his answer would be a NO because we're too last minute, like we want to shoot THE SAME
day that we called? and, using such a place, they need to think about it like, will we disturb other people playing... WELL, he said a YES!!! almost immediately!! WOW!! really GOOD ah? At there, we played a few games, such as JengaUgly Ugly, and... other games. (HAH! can't remember that much) We had food! NICE and EXPENSIVE! So I advice, please have your fill before you go.. HAH! We didn't play much games either. Unsure of the games and we don't feel like playing. That leads to a HUGE problem. We didn't plan about the shoots, haven't recce before and weren't enthusiastic. AH! That's why, the whole shoot was quite waste and unfruitful. After viewing the tape, we realised that Sholleh and I always ahead of the rest. No unity or see us having fun at all. Oh well, it's our first shoot. I believe for a better tomorrow!
