18. Thursday, April 2nd

We did not really have a plan for today. As previously mentioned, I need the first scene of my video re-recorded, so we spent film class today doing that. We went once again to the recording room above Dr. Lau’s classroom. This time I remembered to bring a change of clothing for the filming, and since I knew exactly what we were supposed to do, filming went a lot faster this time. I had already seen what could be done with the lighting and positioning of the camera in the room and through the last filming session I remembered what had to be done to get the exact shot I wanted. I think the footage from this session is a lot better than the last session’s footage, not only because of the clothing. After watching the footage from the last filming session, I also noticed other areas that needed improvement. For example, I needed to move more and use more expressions to create the impression that I was working really hard. Although this is only a small aspect of my film, I need to perfect every second, and I think this will make a big difference to the overall message I am trying to convey. Without establishing how hard people work to produce creations, viewers will not realize that it is bad to take other peoples’ work.

To keep track of how much progress we have made and how much we have left to do, LokLok has all the footage she needs for her video, and I have one scene left to film, which I will film the morning of the Monday we come back from Easter break.
