DAY 9, 10, 11

As you all can see, this's a really late entry, but well, at least i am updating! Basically, these three days were all the last few stages of our pre-production before we start filming on Day 13. We had to ensure the neccesary stuffs were done up and ready so that everything can go smoothly during filming.
Below is the checklist of everything we have gathered and done so far for preproduction.
- Scripts (Drafts and final ones)
- Storyboard (Drafts and final ones)
- Site Recce (pictures)
- Timeline
- Shot list
- Equipment and location
So, the above are what we have done nd improved on over these three days. It was a lot of drafts, re-editing of previous drafts before we got to our final products for the pre-production.

For the storyboard, we faced problems with the scenes number being in the same timing as the script as for the first draft we forgot to add in some frames for what was mentioned in the script. We looked through it and added the required frames. In general, this problem was solved.

Due to the fact that the group had many ideas for the content, the script was constantly changing. So, we settled down and talk about it, discuss and finally came to the conclusion of how we want the video to be. We have also decided to use the small animated figures along the way in the film so as to make it interesting and allows the audience to feel connected and also the figures sort of guides the audience through our journey in year 1.

The Shot list was something Wahidah had us think about before we start actual production. She introduced this system to us whereby someone who jot down the start and end time of a particular sc and the number of takes for that sc. This is to ensure easy reference along the way when we need to track the correct take and also to ensure everything is in order. It was something new to me and i thought it was really a good invention. I mean jotting it down manually is a better way than remembering, at least at the end of the day, we have the information for smooth editing.

And, yes, we had a list of location and equipment required so as to facilitate the entire filming process, allowing us to gather what we need before we start.

In general, these three days were really useful. The group really got down to getting pre-production done up so that we can start fiming as scheduled.
