18 at Long LAST

The fruitful day when i finally became 18 years of age. "Does that mean i can go clubbing and all?" I pondered to myself with a grin. But then again, what good will it bring me once i stepped upon the worldly pub which will either bring me to trouble or to the ways of the world. So today, my motto would be DETERMINATION.

Basically, as what i had mentioned in my earlier post that i found the script not detailed enough, we decided to work on it and making it more detailed. We were also informed by Lecturer Wahidah to do a schedule of what we will be doing from Monday to Tuesday,

example would be like:
-what will we be doing on these two days,
-where we will be when we are doing the production,
-if we were to be out of school, have to tell Lecturer Wahidah so that we can keep in touch and she may even come over to see if we are doing on our production. Wow! Does that mean if a group went really far away to do their production, she has to go there as well.

Hmm.. Anyway, i also jotted down that our group have to think of a new theme, as now we are not doing in a chronological manner that we thought of last time, so we will be touching on the discussion of theme as soon as possible. We were also told to update the timeline with more details or rather for each day.

To Aaron: Please don't follow my foot steps when i was taking my O levels. I admit i had the same lackadaisical attitude like yours in the past but now i'm determined to change. Sorry for being harsh on you as i really don't want to see you having the same fate as i had last time. I believed that if i were to be more disciplined and not lazed around, and not simply taking things easy. I would have done much better for my O levels.

In class, we planned out our schedule from Monday to Tuesday.
Here it is:
Monday

• loaning of the camera
• look for Mr. Alan and asked if he would be able to help us in the acting of our production
• show sketchbook to Mr. Ronald for any advise
• animating of door [ frames 4-7 ]
• to animate the stone falling, forming the group's name (Stone Productions and Co. ) [frames 1-3 ]
• filming the flowy journey , showing the overhead bridge, probably the canteen, 5th level and 2d animation room as well.[ frame 8 ]
• filming the introduction of all members which will end when Yi Chuin flips the next page. [ frames 9-15 ]
• asking of actors/ actresses for their availability to help us in the acting of production

Tuesday

• continue animating of both the stone and on the door. [ concentration will be focused more on the door ]
• Ting Yu and I would be doing the storyboard shown in frame 35
• Yi Chuin would be preparing and drawing in her sketchbook which is shown on frame 14
• Ting Yu will be preparing on her sketchbook if she has the time [frames 18-21 ]
• get a film seen on frames 29-31

After that, we began thinking of some themes that we could address to:

1. linkage
2. continuity
3. journey
4. improving
5. upgrade
6. reflection
7. transition

*Please kindly vote if you see which one best suits our production

My task was to go home and research more on those words, finding suitable words for the theme which will be shown and be discussed with the rest of the group members the day when everyone is available.
Yi Chuin mentioned to me that the word should not be too chim and weird.
As for me, my another homework was to make the script in more details. I also thought of adding the words: Journey is not the end. It is just the beginning when i was in class at that point of time.

There it was, Lecturer Wahidah had read our script and it was time to hear her comments. She told us to include :

• what is the value that we got out from the course?
• what is the something extra, and try illustrating that point

-its about teamwork

-being creativity and doing it creatively

• what is the added value in being in Temasek Polytechnic
  

-by enrolling in TP, have the ability to do flash and.......

-show demonstration

-through demonstration,able to learn faster

• more than just what we will be in this cource but of more what we had went through
• What is the keypoint you want to say

She also asked us to include the biggest lesson we have learnt, importance of storyboarding, have to be very comfortable like talking to audience when we were to talk facing the camera. She also mentioned to elaborate more of the obstacles, to be more specific of what we said was fun and be frank as the target audience want to know more of our experience. She also wanted us to show the bonding among our group members instead of just saying it out. She also mentioned that she found our last part where the puppet is seen pulling down the credits to be abit weird. Like as though the puppet just want to close for the day and it seems that the puppet came out of no where.

Having hearing all that, i was even more determined to do it and finish it faster i guess as i really didn't like last minute work so i called up for a meeting, to meet up at 10.30 am in the morning tomorrow.

Meeting up with Yi Chuin first. Haha..

Hope i will be able to wake up on time.

Nites

off to sleep
