A New Classroom!!

Woot! I was very excited upon hearing the news from Yi Chuin that we would be changing class room. I sort of find the previous classroom abit cramp and blocking some of my classmate's view. I was truly grateful to Lecturer Wahidah that she was thoughtful and was willing to give her students' the best environment to absorb and listen to what she would be teaching. When we entered the 'new' classroom, i was stunned. It was HUGE as in bigger. What stunned me next was when we merged with Mr. Alan's class. We were then introduced to a show " Capturing the fried mans". It was more of a HBO documentary film. I was actually impressed in the way how they actually can able to link their childhood days video to the present. In fact, from here i can conclude that this family really treasure their stuffs and memories as well. However, what was saddening was their father actually raped a few children. When i watched the film, i didn't really capture what the director was trying to convey, but after Lecturer Wahidah explained that it was a footage of this family when they used to be happy in the past, however when the police received a pornography magazine/ disc did he try investigating and finally found out that the father actually raped kids. I felt sad for them as being a 18 year old teenage girl , i can already feel the pain having to live far away from my parents. It must really hurt them alot seeing their parents divorced. Mr. Alan added that we should include our emotions inside the film and told us to learn the technique of leaving some bloopers for a reason. I have to agree most people wouldn't want others to see their embarass moment or even times when they actually quarreled with each other, however this film not only added once but even the trail had been shown. i would indeed want to try how i should bring my feelings across just by watching a film. Following next, we saw "Bowling for columbine". It was pretty lame. I find it weird having just opening an account and you can get a gun for free. OH MY GOD!! Wonder how many people have taken their guns. I think they really should forgo this idea of giving out guns to people just to promote their bank or place. I find it really dangerous for the children outside, having to face people with guns around, holding fear in their hearts everywhere they go. The part where they let the dogs carry the rifles or guns just to make the dog looks interesting was okie for me but when it actually shoot the chin of its master. THAt i find it lame. But i do hope that people would not just think of making something or someone looks nice or interesting but don't bother the safety of the surroundings. Even tones and sounds are essential for a film as it can change the mood and the feeling you want to portray in a film. As no more videos were being played, Mr. Alan's class head off first and we were then assigned to have our group discussion. We were short of one group mate as he was sick so we told Lecturer Wahidah if we could go online upstairs so that we could discuss with him too. She even went up to look for us and asked how our progress was coming along which i think it was very sweet of her. We had difficulty getting online. But at least, we are more aware of who should take which role. Leader- Ting Yu, Scribe- Me, Cameraman- Aaron, Edit of video using premire and after effects- Aaron assisted by Yi Chuin and Doing of animation- would most probably be all of us including the role of actors. We also discussed on our introduction once again and were even thinking of not introducing all modules. But after much consideration, we decided to intro all and if we don't really have the time, we may then exclude the module. Previously on the previous episode i was saying how our introduction would be like. Now it had some slight modifications. In the starting, Aaron would roar and Yi Chuin suggested using many videos to form the word Moi. I was then wondering if we are able to capture all sixty classmates of Moi to form the word instead. Then the Word MOi would zoom infront and show screen of a person playing his/her computer where he/she actually press a door and the door will open and accompanied with the narrator sound "enter the ride of your life". Then the next part was humorous. I told Aaron i may want the scene to flow maybe abit like a roller coaster ride from the start of the staircase to the design entrance then taking turns in introducing our group members. Aaron voiced out and said it would be boring if it was just to film the way to the design entrance and it would be better if we were to have just a glimpse of maybe the whole of design school. I thought his idea was cool though. Our discussion ended here as i had to go for my next module. (Hint: I am still doing the homework). AHAHHAHA.. Bye for now my little diary, and friends. Back to my homework. Nites...
