interactive week 1 Mood board


We were asked to make a mood board for ourselves.
This shows my own personality and my interests.
It is just a simple version of a mood board and i just put things that I love and places of my own country.
It is quite fun because it seems that after making this mood board, I feel that I getting to know myself more in the end.

Week 5 film (9/2)

It's a long and busy week this week. We have to done our edit, project book, self evaluation form and upload to the dropbox.

Well, arranged the videos into different scenes and put them into files is always the first thing to do.
Then I will start to choose which clips I'm going to use.

After I finished my edit and rendered it the first time, everything is fine. Unfortunately, when I make some changes on the edit and rendered it for the second time, it crashed... All of the footages and my premiere files gone!...So I have to upload the first edit that I rendered to youtube and vimeo.

Anyway, it crashed after my first rendering, so it's not bad..


Week 4 film (3/2)

 Finally we start filming on Monday and though we planned to finish filming on Tuesday, we failed to make it. So we have to film on Wednesday too.
Our director (Edgar) eventually became the clown-Brain. Sabrina as Karen, Kieran as Tommy and Kalab as the police officer.
Our main filming place was in Edgar's house. So we didn't have much problem with the locations.
One of the funniest thing is whenever someone said "silence on set", no one speaks immediately.
And some times we even have to hide as the camera could see us.
One big problem was when we finished filming, and watch some of the clips, we found that the microphone was in the videos..haha that's the main problem that we have to sort it out.
I managed to edit that clip by zoom it in, so that we couldn't see the microphone in the background.

And other than the costume, I also response to place everything in the right position everyday, this is honestly quite difficult to do I guess. As every tiny little bit should be in the right place, I'm glad that I took photos everyday then I can always look back to the photos and check if everything is alright.






Week 3 film (27/1)



We originally planned to film in this week but Deb said that we should film after the lighting induction on Friday first, so we changed to film in next week.
This lighting induction is quite fun to be honest. Other than staying in the computer room, we went to the lighting studio and learn how light could be useful in our filming.
We learn to set up three different lighting equipments in different positions. Adding filter to fade out some light and putting the light near or behind could really make a difference in filming.
And finally we decided to book a 'dedolight' equipment for our filming on Monday. We are still struggling with out actors though.
As we changed our filming date to Monday, so I have to extend the costume for one week more inorder to use in our film.

Week 2 film (20/1)

As we all response to different roles, we started gather and re-write the script and discuss how we going to film it and which angles that we are going to use in the filming. Nima started to draw storyboards and I started to draw some sketching of the characters.

Luckily, we found suitable costumes in the costume store in Waverley building. So we asked the fashion department that if we can borrow the costume for a whole week. This sort out the costume of the whole cast.
For the character- Karen, I am going to bring an apron and the washing gloves for her.
For Brain (the clown), we borrowed the small blue hat, a colourful jacket, a yellow trousers, red nose and also the red wig that we bought.
For Tommy ( the magician), we borrowed the red bowtie, the black hat, the white gloves and the black suit that we have.
For the police officer, we borrowed the bright yellow jacket, the white shirt, the cardigan and the police hat that we bought.
