Saturday 16/5

submission yesterday. nothing much to do, just showed bertrand our work. he commented that our video was fine, just seemed abit lazy. i don't know, looking back, i feel it wasn't that we were lazy, just that this was our concept from the beginning. also, for the whole duration of the pledge, all three cameramen must know exactly what shot to give. i guess our production was simple in some areas, but difficult in others. i don't think the other groups have a multicam sequence like ours, where every single shot was planned, rather than each camera having a certain responsibility, and then deciding how to put the footages together later during editing.

for this assignment, i think i like jake's group's production the best. the star running around singapore, it was super well done in my opinion. but then again, it's jake, you don't expect anything less from him, especially when he teams up with jem. kind of makes me feel a little sad that i wasn't in their group. but ah well, i survived through the block, and did well, in my opinion, despite of circumstances, so i guess that's all that matters.

oh, i also have to re-export the clip and submit it on monday, because it was exported with the wrong settings. that was why the quality was that bad the first time round.

alright, abit of reflection. after this module, i realised that CHOOSING THE RIGHT GROUP MATES is an important thing. of course, i didn't really get to choose, cause the limit was 4 per group, and jake, jem, mal and betty were sitting side by side, while the rest of them had their own cliques, so, like many other modules before this, i got stuck with leftovers. seems like a fate i'm resigned to. but then again, at least derick's not bad, and sarah, when you keep her happy, is good as well, aaron definitely has the potential to be very good, if only he gives a damn about anything. that's just my opinion. as for myself, well, i guess i'm the kind who likes to tag along for the ride, but if no one's driving i'll pick up the steering wheel. this module kind of proved as much.
