[24/09/2013] Contextual Studies: Production 01 - Report.

In my point of view, our progress can be said already 50% done for the filming part.

We're doing great so far! No complains whatsoever. Everyone is contributing in everything.

Unfortunately, I personally think I didn't contribute enough in the group. Simply because, I live the most farthest from campus so I have a difficulty in coming or staying late. Especially when they decide to film during the sun set. Where I try not to stay too late as I am taking the public transport home so for me it's dangerous as I already experienced unlucky incident happening to me. So I told them I can't help out and they always say it's fine, they understand my situation. Sadly, I sometime think they might think otherwise. Also because I'm not involve the particular scene they were shooting that time, so I try not to go even though I think I should be there to help with the filming. I wasn't there to help them twice now, so I feel guilty.

Nonetheless! They have been so understandable so I feel like I am in debt with them. I'll try my best to contribute more! As I am also the assistant director.

Anyway........

The scenes we have left to film are;

1. Adauza (me) killing scene. 
2. Zara's (Farah) killing scene.
3. Zara going to Alex's (Annabel) office to see Adauza. 
4. Some scenes in Pulau Pangkor.
5. The ending scene where it involves Alex, Elle (Eka) and Serena (Ching Hsin). 
6. Cannibal scene (re-shoot)
7. Clinic scene.

We are trying our best to find free time to do all these left over scenes.

So far we plan to film the clinic scene this Thursday after our Visual Culture class which finishes at 2pm. If nothing happens, hopefully we can film it that day and also on Saturday since the whole campus is going to be block as there will be 2 big events happening on that day, we decided to go back to my house and film the scene where I die. 

Last Thursday, we shot at my house.

Here are the screen-caps of it.

This part of the scene, we took it from 3 different angles.

Where first we shot it from outside where we focus on Eka rushing towards the door.

Second, from the inside to focus on Eka's face from afar.

Third, is a close up shot of Eka's face looking panic.

The highlight of this scene is when we focus on the Adauza's hand opening and unlocking the door.

and the suspense of the story starts here. Where the narrative goes like this:

As I gave Elle her drink, she starts talking to me about Zara's death and how I reacted to it and she talked about how she saw Alex and Zara before the black out happens and insisting how Alex killed Zara and I didn't believed it.

For this part, we shot in 2 angles, one where the camera focuses on Eka's face and the other one on my face.

My contribution: BTS camera, lighting, acting, my house, my room, my toilet, my cat, food and drinks, my stick to stick the mic.

Last Saturday, excluding me, they filmed the office scene. Where we used an empty classroom in campus and set up the table to look like an office.

With 3 different type of offices.

Alex's office.

Serena's office.

Zara's office.

All the stuffs we used are all brought from home.

There's a scene where we focuses on Serena, Zara and Alex's faces when they were talking on the phone.

a behind the scene picture of Serena on the phone.

We'll be editing these talking on the phone scene where it will be side by side in one frame. So it will be more interesting. It is also going to be a challenge for us to edit it.

I didn't contribute anything for this scene as I wasn't there to help :c

Well I wanted to put out BTS video here but we're going to edit everything and put it as a one video. So I am only able to show these BTS photos instead.

Here's a group picture of us...... well Farah photoshopped Ching Hsin in it but oh well.

and here's a picture of me wearing make up done by Ching Hsin hehe.
