WEEK 12: one more week to viva

8 July 2016

Year 3 is really fast i feel like I'm mentally running a marathon and now I am super exhausted. I can't believe it's already week 12. This week we had Hari Raya so our viva got pushed back one week. We are really lucky to be given more time to finish up the packages.

Re-filming Live action
We refilmed our live action as last week Karen told us some of our camera directions were wrong also our first take was incomplete because we were uncertain of what we wanted.

This time was more efficient and fun compared to previous filming. It was really hilarious how we are coming up with creative, low budget ways trying, to make everything work. There was this one scene where it was Stanley's (me) POV, washing his hands and looking up into the the mirror. However the angle was too difficult that i had to be the camera man and Roxann had to go behind me and wash her hand. The position was so awkward and we could clearly tell it wasn't my(Stanley's) hands because our skin tones are like night and day. That shot too really long and because we kept on laughing.

 We showed Karen the viva and she told us it looks good and much more clearer. Our group really needed that assurance that we are on the right path :)

Modelling update
Priyanka and I are have started modelling the interior ourselves. We didn't see Borko this week so we couldn't ask for advice. I am doing the toilet and office interiors while she is doing home and lift.
I'm having slight trouble with the whole look of it, on one hand i want it to show its clearly 3D models, however on the other hand we must make the textures to looks 2D because we wouldn't want the characters to look out of place. This juggling act has be quite difficult to manage.

I don't feel the urgency of week 13 viva, I am really worried as i feel like I'm missing out something but i cant put my finger on it... :/

Here are 2 posters that i did :

Thoughts and feelings:

I'm going to do something different. I'm gonna analyse my work now compared to April me.
I know the modelling and planning process clearer now, compared to the first environment the 2nd one is modelled faster. Planning helps me be more efficient and organised. My film knowledge has widen, My friends and teachers recommended me a lot of film to watch and I have a wider perspective and a lot more ideas thanks to them.

What i should improve on: 
Be more helpful towards others. Don't be so afraid towards critiques.
