Reflection on Video editing Class

In video editing class final project,

I became the director

Because we are using my story to film the video.

Overall experience was amazed and I enjoyed.

This is the first time for me conducting a video from story to filming.

At the same time I would like to thanks my group mates, Jocelyn and Ester who guided me well through the whole filming process.

At first I though it would be hard because my main character is my cousin and she is 9 years old.

Pairing with child which also first time for me, and I am scared that I will not be able to guide her well. But surprisingly she is a very good actor, she could act!

Her emotion and impression reach my expectation.

The hard time through out this filming process is the requesting cafe for filming.

Because in my ending, it will need to film it at a cafe.

As a cafe is a public spaces, not all cafe allow us to film.

But at the end we're lucky to able to film at Hype concept cafe at SS15.

Thank you Hype Concept Cafe for allow us to film in your cafe!

Last but not least, in general I had a good time to film and finally I can understand that filming is not that easy.Its just not only about the story, the lights, angle and motion considered the main key.

At here I would like to thanks Mr Martin for guiding us and theach us all kind of shots, angle and even story setting. I'm glad that I've made the right decision by choosing this subject.

Ending of the storyline for Video editing

What if I manage to run away...
Where I will be?
What am I doing?
"Deliver the Happiness"
this appeared in my mind.
When I was small, I feels that I can't get enough attention on me.
One day, I have an idea.
Although I can't get enough attention on me,
what if I made something that makes happiness?
At that time, food delivery is the first thing in my mind.
Food.
The simplest and the easiest thing that create happiness.
I used to imagine that...
I will work in a restaurant.
Packing all the delicious food.
Deliver the most heart warming meals to those who needs.
The dreams that I dream.
Simple.
Not so fantasy.
But for real.

Video editing class Week 8 Storyline practice

Storyline practise

Story line of video editing class

Childhood, a growing stage between birth and puberty which assume to be the most happiest and purest moments in our life times. There is some saying that children's mindset is the most creative ever, but who can secure every single child's creativity? It is infinite and unstoppable crazy ideas and the point of view among daily life. 

When I was small, I hardly meet my parents because they were busy with their career at overseas and I was grown up in a typical Chinese family mostly with y grandparents. During that time, I had suffered the middle child syndrome which has been a belief that middle children don't get the attention the eldest or the youngest in the family gets. Which lead  my creativity flow in a negative mindset that I always asked myself "Who am I?" "Why I'm here?" "Am I adopted?" and more...I always had an adventure in my house to find the evidence of my birth but then I couldn't find any (actually I found birth certificate but during that time I was a kid don't know that is the evidence). At the same time, I used to asked myself questions that started with "What if...?" then I'll think of 2 consequences. "What if, I committed suicide? If I success, I'll become a spirit and float in the air just me alone (I was scare being alone when I was small, what I can conclude my imagination is face the reality which is no one will care about me). I can imagine that the surrounding is dark, cold and I cried because too scary. If I unsuccessful, I can imagine I'm laying in a hospital surround with my family member despise me which let me feel wanna run away from home to wherever I can get attention from others. With my planning, my  first run away was half way success, 4 hours missing in action with no one notice about it and end up going back home. Indeed, I do it again but I get caught up by my grandma while I was planing to go back. After that no more escape, because my parents had arranged me to a strict after school-programmed.

By the time passed, I had come to rebellious stage which the time that I disobey each point of view to gain acceptence. Because of this mindset, I played football for the first in my life because I was arguing with my male friends that who said girls cannot play football. Due to some coincidence, I become more adventurist and more friendly, no longer emo or negative thinking. I'm different compare with the younger me.

Video editing (practice 1)

YEAR 2 SEM 2 - Video Editing (week 2)

On the first week of this sem, all Malaysian are having public holiday and same goes to me no class for the day. So our first class is on this week which consider week 2 and as usual introduction and briefing on our projects. Then, I tried my very first time editing small clips by using Premier Pro CC and Mac (I never use mac before lol) which is a good experience for me.

After that, the lecturer announce that we will be joining the video editing competition this sem (hooray...have 3 competition at the same time.../.\) and for the task of the week is choose a song that represent myself. Well for me, I will choose "can't stop the feeling" by Justin Timberlake which also my favorite song on these days. Why I choose this because I can't stop my feeling when I listen to this song too HAHA, just bringing me happiness and cheerful which I'm like that(sometimes, basically more on I wish I am that cheerful people) I'm quite shy on the outside but crazy on the inner side of me.

I realised that when people grown up, their had more and different character on themselves.  Which something like when meet family won't joke a lot and so on same goes to me when I meet different types of people because not everyone get your joke but sometimes it get mixed up with the feeling like maybe these friends won't crazy a lot but then I suddenly get crazy and it cause a bit awkward.
