Today is our shooting day. We loaned out 3 camera, 3 tripod and a broom mic. Cheryl wasn't here with us as she's feeling feverish. So the 3 of us, headed out to the bus stop near Tampines stadium and get ready for the shoot. Our cast of the day is our dear friend Alvin soe. While waiting for his arrival , we set up our cameras and make sure nothing is in our ways. You know Singaporeans are indeed Singaporean. Or should i say auntie is indeed auntie. "Ni men zai pai xi ah? You ming xin lai ah?" If not everyone start staring at us, smiling and waving at the camera when it's not even on. Well, speechless..
Anyway, when alvin arrived, we started taking note of buses coming. We need to make sure nothing blocks the view of the bus and when we are sure, alvin must get ready to run. The very first take was pretty good but our broom mic was in the way! No one can hold it so we place it somewhere but it eventually got into the frame still. So we decided to abandunt the idea for recording sound through broom mic so we carried on noticing bus. With a third attempt, we managed to get a good shot. We're so happy we finally got the shot and we're lucky that we got it before the rain came.
The next shoot is at a coffeeshop. It's just behind the bus stop. We hurried our way there as we execpt the rain and indeed, the rain came pouring down once we settled in the coffeeshop. Well at least we're not caught in the rain.
The rain came in a sudden and left in a sudden too. So we continued with the shoot. As usual, those uncles at the coffeeshop kept staring and even thought we're gonna shoot them -.- Oh well, we had a couple of takes as i couldn't stop laughing at alvin soe. He sure can act! Majorie hand held the camera and we planned our shot properly so everything goes to the right place at the right time. At after may time of trys, we got it!
We're laughing and having fun all along. Didn't think it would be so exciting. But the main hardship was carrying those cameras and tripods. I wonder if i can survive for my FYP.
Regardlessly, we did it! We finished our production and now it will be post-production!
