Day 3

Alo again. :] Today's lesson was quite nice cause all 60 moiers were gathered in the lecture room to watch some short examples from movies and documentaries. Jasmine didn't come though cause she's sick. :[ *pats back*

Anyways...our lecturers; Ronald, Alfie and Wahidah showed us a couple of videos they've picked to help us with our projects. Alfie showed LORD OF THE RINGS!!! i love love that show, like the other 41236523751274 people in the world...:] Gina and me were so crazy about the trilogy at one point that we even collected all 3 of the collector's dvds...:O i think i should have a LOTR movie marathon next time when we're free. :] it's been a while since we've watched it...

Okay, moving on...Alfie also showed us this documentary about some mountain climbing expenditure...it was pretty dull imo. The beginning was nice but they continued with the same thing (fast-forward motion. forgive me if the terms aren't right cause we haven't studied film language :b) for like, a very long time. And it was hella shaky and the audio was quite bad too...:O i guess it's everything we SHOULDN'T do in our project. Alfie later showed the making of gangs of new york. i thought it looked interesting so gina and me went to borrow the movie to watch. it's ooorigh i guess...and pretty long as well. :O I think that in Singapore, we'll probably won't have the chance to do that kind of big scaled-set...cause no.1, u probably need a TON of money. no. 2, Singapore is too small. no.3, we'll probably have to go through a 101 shitty things before we can get permission. no wonder it's so hard to be film makers in Singapore and people choose to go overseas to further their studies. :x i better not say anything more about our government in case i get an invite to have tea with "the family". :]

alright next, Ronald showed us a bit of monsters inc. (ahhh good good movie), ending of shoot me up (cool animation! and so creative! the blood dripping down the credits is super rad!) and the beginning of iron man, the animated one that is. :] After that wahidah showed us some old documentary...i honestly don't remember what it was about cause i was getting kinda restless by then. But it looked like a film my secondary school history teacher would show...i think thats it? i can't help but feel i missed out something...

But anyway, the lecturers told us that we and our seniors tend to forget about audio and set design. I think audio is soooo important...and in fact, i'm hoping after poly, i'll get a degree in audio engineering/production or something. :]

okay that was a long rant and my mom's room aircon is freezing my fingers...so i think i'll stop here. till next post. bye bye! :D
