Production 01: Report

English translation: "Okay let's do it again, ONE, TWO, THREE!"

We had our second official filming session on 21st September, this time with the presence of all members =).
After the tutorial session with Mr.Charles last week, he pointed out that there's no consistency in the lighting of our scenes.

We decided to retake the scenes, with the same location, but with brighter background light.

Co-director supervising the scene.

The trial scene before filming.

The trial scene 2.

We used 2 cameras to shoot the same scene in 2 different angle.

My contribution

I shoot mostly the facial focus and the movement of the characters involved in that particular scene.
While shooting, I did not forget to imply the design element onto it: Rule of Thirds, Spaces, etc.

Checking the composition of a scene + actress trial acting

Moving the camera according to the movement of the character.

Running the script one time before actually shooting with the actress.

Blooper for one of the scene =)

Different stages of the same scene with different composition.

We do not decide on the shots that have to be taken by ourselves. We discussed and try out different composition before deciding the real thing.

A pic of director and co-director working out the scene together by trying 2 different angles.

Then, after shooting the scene, the directors will play the videos that were taken so that everyone could check on the mistakes and the frauds.

When we were facing problems on the lightings and editing.

Narrative

Screenshots of the movement of character.

This scene focuses on the student that suddenly appeared. The focusing on the student shows the importance of this role that will manipulate the main character into a bigger mystery.

Symbols that appeared on the student's hand.

The symbol that later recalled by Jose which indicated her student who is one of the Souler. The student who placed her hands on the desk in front of Jose purposely did that to hint her about her own identity.

This is the scene where the student approached Jose and said things that she could not understand.

Though it's a short scene, but it's really IMPORTANT because without this scene, the story cannot flow.

IF this student did not approach Jose and DID NOT say these few sentences, Jose would live her normal 28 years old lecturer life as usual.

It is clear that this mysterious student knows the main character's father and the main character's true identity. This leaves a question mark in Jose's mind wandering: 

WHO THE HECK IS SHE,

WHY THE HECK SHE KNOWS MY FATHER,

AND WHO THE HECK AM I?

And lastly, I as the director, would like to share another behind-the-scene of our film.

THANK YOU.
