Introducing, the group!
At the first meeting, we decided to choose whos script to shoot. We decided to go with Sue Jane’s script as hers would be easier to shoot due to the time constrain. However, Sue Jane decided to change the storyline for the script as it isn’t realistic and it was hard to find an actor strong enough to carry the “wife”. We all agreed and decided to take a day to think about the coming new script.
Sue Jane, again came up with a new script idea with the same topic, family, hope and dreams. It was strongly agreed with all of us. When the script was done, we then had to decided who was becoming the director, producer, and editor. Li Foong believed she was a good person to see angles, therefore, volunteered herself as director. Sue Jane on the other hand who had experience and knowledge on editing videos decided to be the editor as she had done a very good job on a previous assignment. Lisa who liked writing, took up the role of producer to completing and seeking the forms out.
We had to pick a time suitable for everyone and since Sue Jane had a Cell Group meeting with her church mates in Bandar Utama, we decided to go there and shoot. There, we began interviewing the two Doctors from Australia to give their opinion on the three questions, which were, “What does family, hope, and dream mean to you?”
Later on, feeling like we didn’t have enough shots, we followed Sue Jane again to her Church to film families spending time together. We managed to get many shots of people laughing, sharing cakes and food, playing with their kids, and simply, cherishing their moments together.
The hard part came now as Sue Jane had to edit. With Easter falling on that particular Sunday itself, it made it harder to edit as everyone had their own Easter plans. Everyone then had to stay up late to complete their own part of their works. After a sleepless night, finally, everything is done!
We now present to you, OUR MASTERPIECE! enjoyyy!
