Reflection 7

Creativity, Communication and Collaborative Practice
UoS Intensive Workshop · Third Week

Third week, productive week!

So on Monday itself, the shooting started punctually at 2pm.
Weng Sheng has more knowledge and experience in doing lighting thus he would be controlling lighting while I would take the photos.
However, things did not go well. What went bad was the lighting console. We were unable to pre-set the console so in the end, I needed to step in control floor all the way to keep pressing on the lighting button. Weng Sheng was the one left in studio floor to direct both talent and me so that we can shoot high quality photos.
The talent that we found is our classmate and he is really experienced and talented in acting.
I appreciate both Weng Sheng's and talent's efforts very much and I like their professional attitude during working time.

After done the photography shooting, Weng Sheng passed the files to the Multimedia Design mates so that they could start editing the files earlier.
Our group kept updating each other about the progress, especially Weng Sheng and I, we were like urging them to show up their works.

Besides that, we both also planned to finish the life action shooting by this week.
After discussed with each other, we made decision to have shooting on Friday.
Since we could not book extra time for using mini studio, hence, on Thurday, Weng Sheng has confirmed with our classmate who is also taking this module, to use his house for our shooting.

On Thursday, we had a Skype session with Mr Mark and Mr Johny and that was the time we got our last feedbacks on our works.

On Friday morning, Weng Sheng and I together with our talent again, reached the shooting location around 7:45am.
We needed to make sure we could finish shooting within 2 hours because we all had class on 10am.
Again, Weng Sheng was the important role because he was the director and cameraman whereas I was the production assistant.
There was one thing I learnt from Weng Sheng which is his creativity.
In order to create a beautiful foreground and background, he randomly used a water bottle to create the effect.
This is what I never tried before and never seen before.
Meanwhile, thanks very much to the friend who lent us his house and he tried so hard to help us in setting up the shots.

It was glad that we finished shooting in time. After that, Weng Sheng took the task to edit the videos before passing them to Multimedia mates to do final editing while I in charge to create social media sites for our campaign.
