Day36 04/03/08

Our goal was to finish up our production by filming the last and final scroll scene.

Although we had long decided on an original idea of how the scene is going to go about, however, it seems that instead of making things clearer, it created more misunderstandings. My view was pretty much different from what the rest had in mind. I must say that I was thinking a little too off the track by trying to come up with an idea of an arrow flying pass.

We were all pretty jaded for a while, however, we realised that we can never move on and things like this should have never happened in the first place. Thus, everyone tried thinking of ways to compromise for each of our personal ideas, to prevent further minor conflict. We finalised our idea within an hour, but we decided to film some other minor scenes like individual introduction scenes.


We started off with a group scene, with us walking in a very suave manner just beside the flag poles outside the corridors of Applied Science school. That was pretty easy and after a few takes, I felt that the last one should work out and carried on with Greg's individual scene. It was then where we experienced accident on the set. Well you see, Greg did not possess the ability to climb a ledge that is a just a little over his head thus, Raj tried to show him how. Raj failed. He injured his shin and was in pain. I had no choice but to quickly enlighten Greg, finish up his shot and render aid to Raj.

With that, Greg accompanied Raj to the medic room while I moved on to Wendy's shot. Its not like I did not want to help Raj but we were pressing for time and I had to make sure we finish by today. I am sorry bro, I am sure that was what u wished too...

It seemed that Raj was doing pretty well, at least he can still walk so we did his scene. It was pretty special I guess as he was the only one to get the unique way of introduction as we intended on him to get across to the middle of the fountain to get his shot taken. It looked pretty cool. How did we do that without getting wet? Simple, we used chairs borrowed from design school.

Finally it was my turn. I insisted on the amphitheatre for I really like that place and my group members had no qualms with it. So we decided on that area. I got to admit, my shot was pretty hard for there was no fixed concept and we were all trying out new angles. Greg did a great job in risking his life by climbing on top of 2 chairs at the peak of the amphitheatre. I am grateful. With that, it sums up for the day.

We could not finish the scroll scene, so we didn't really accomplished the target for the day but oh well, days like this are always around. We will just have to learn how to make use of the next day. In all, I considered it a good day for there were much learnt.
