i photograph, therefore i am

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.
