hecka of a week

Well, i've started school now for the first week.
And assignments have already been fired to us.
I've got 5 modules this semester this month and
it seems that, it's going to be abit harder than
i have expected it to be.

On wednesday, i was invited to The Days Gala Premiere
with BLK A Pictures. It's a first time director debut feature
film. Have to say that it's a applaudable effort on the part
everyone involved in the show. The Art direction was perfect
and it kinda reminded me of secondary school life as well.
Here are some photos on the premiere







So followed by 8am! class on thurs and a full day of class on friday.
Finally had the wrap party for august 29 at timbre but i have to leave
early because i got a wedding shoot on sunday and the call time is 6am!
So, it's another 6am-11pm kinda wedding shoot.
I really don't like weddings that starts so early... :S

Sunday, spent my morning in church and return some rental stuff
in the afternoon. While waiting to return the rental stuff, i drop my
phone and the screen is crapped. sigh. have to get it to service asap.
That aside, i have to head back to my assignments
already. woohoo.. student life is good. student life and work life.
best of both worlds, my arse.

1st day of school

Starting today, i'm a student again!
Today i will have my first lesson with David worth
on an all too familiar subject called production planing.

During the orientation/get to know your lecturers session,
He mentioned that making a film is quite like conducting
an orchestra. The conductor have to study the score well and
be familiar with each part of the score, and yet still interpret the
music written on the 250gsm paper filled with lines
and a language not everyone can read.

A producer will have to break down the script, know the different
part of the story well, and interpret what is being written accurately
to provide an excellent story to your audience.

Film-making is liken to an ice berg.
10 % of the effort put into it can only be seen.
The red carpet, celebrities, final product etc.
But like the ice berg, the main body which consists
of a good 90% is below the water, where most do not
pay attention too or realises the importance of it.

To all out there, making a movie, even if it's a B grade
movie, is not as simple as it seems. It's easy for you to
sit there and watch, but to have it done is another issue altogether.

A complete jigsaw puzzle is a sight to behold
but to complete one is a task most withhold.
