The Pangkor trip!!

All in all the Pangkor trip was a good experience, we didn't get to do much on that trip cause most of the time it was raining and we couldn't film in the rain cause it would damage the mask but we did make a lot of new friend there. On the first day it was mostly traveling and then free and easy for us sem 2 students.
Here is a picture of when we were on the boat.

On the second day we had to follow our juniors on a treasure hunt around the island. We rod our bicycles thought the *mountain* and then into town and look for clues. It was a long, hot and tiring day. The sun was burning hot and being the idiot I was I didn't use sunblock and got a sunburn on my arms and neck :D

The WEEK before PANGKOR!!!! :D

Well this week is a more relax week for us. We didn't shoot much. All we did was the Stabbing scene again and the viewing of the reporter scene on a laptop. Due to the absents of Fariz (Tyler) our main character he had to go back to his home in Rawang all week so we cant really do anything about it.

The stabbing scene was done in Maegan's house.

We were only trying out the stabbing part and here is a short glimpse of it.


this is the room we did it in




Watching the reporter scene 

We just did this scene on the staircase...

REPORT 08 OCT!

Report

Well for this week we had to pick it up cause we are so behind on time! We had to re-shoot so many parts because the old one was all from a boring angle. So this week we re- shoot the under ground part where Tyler meets with the girls to try and get them to help him. I personally don't like this location. First its bloody hot and second it's bloody hot. We all sweated so much, this movie has cause so much blood sweat and tears literally a lot of blood and sweat! Well besides that the lighting in the room is very hard to play around with but then we found a way to work smart by just using a phone flash light and just zoom into our faces when we were filming. This part all of us hard to be in it so Joe(Sarah's bf) was the one with the camera. I'm not planning to upload the video because it will review too much of the story.

But for the others there are short clips!




We also shoot a lot of shoot scene to fill up the gaps we has for our movies. Like the card trick scene, the illusion scene and the planning scene.

The planning scene 

was different from the rest of the scenes and it was very easy to do. We used the light box in the POD room and place the plan on the light box. So all the light is only coming from the table. This gives a very mysterious look to their faces. Here are some pictures to show 







sorry im not in the pics :( i was the one taking the picture :( 

Also we did the starting scene about a guy finding a scroll that tells the whole story! 



For this part Sarah's boyfriend is playing the role of the person who found the scroll. All the light is only coming from the lighter, and the walls are made of some brown paper me and Maegan painted on and smashed up to give the rough effect.




This week we started to work better as a group everyone is starting to carry their own weights and put in afford and not just ditch us most of the time and zone out when we are doing work. For what I contributed is almost the same like everyone in our group, we film when we aren't acting or help out with the lighting. Ideas are all discuss before we start filming because the last time when we were only discussing when we are filming a lot of problem came flying out. That's for this week! Thanks for reading! :D

OUR TEASER TRAILER!!

TURN UP THE VOLUME!!


Hope u enjoy this! But we still have a lot of parts to fix and I know we can improve a lot more :D 
Until the official trailer!! 

Contextual approach part 2!!


Select 2 scenes, explain and describe the changes or enhancement that took place and how they affect the overall narrative.

For the first scene I picked the reporter part.


In my opinion this scene is scary as F***! It gave me the creeps but that what Mr Charles likes so I guess we just have to make our taste of filming weirder then normal. In this scene we only use one lighting which is a yellow spot light just to see her face and the status at the background just to give the creep feel to it. we took from two different angles but this video only shows from one angle. 


For the next scene I picked the killing part!!!

This scene is the hardest in my opinion so far. There were so many problems!!! The lighting, the space, the angles and the worst part is the heat! We had to retake the video so many times. But for this part I like to focus on the last few second when Tyler was stabbing Ignis. We had to try countless of times to get the shadow size right and the right angle so only the shadow can be seen and not the person. This has a mysterious effect and also violent yet not at the same time.
