Shooting at granpa house (1)

Today we had this shooting at my grandpa's house. Previously I've a post that show roughly the look and feel of this room. 

I didn't change much of it..just that I've sticked some newspapers and cardboard to cover the windows...So the room looks darker and from inside, it looks like something blocked the window to stop the person inside from escaping. 

Here're some pictures of the protagonist. 

 

Here're some of the videos that I've shot and think they're pretty good ones. I will record the sound again after tis shooting and add into the final video..

This is because I don't have enough helper for me to hold mic or light..

So everything have to do by myself and work harder in the post production.

( OPTIONS / RESESARCH ) Interface of flash play

So, I would need some simple interface design for my flash payer since it's an interactive video ...

It's either few words or some simple icon.

Since I want it simple...I would probably make it like "minimalist" style.

I think overlaying certain colors and low apacity icon is a great idea..

looks modern, simple and suits the concept of "minimalist".

This is like overlaying words and shape as a frame

I think it's nice..but I more prefer the previous one

So this is just like the traditional's button.

Nothing special.

Just simple.

Normal button.

This two layouts is all about typeface.

Play with the typography without shapes and images.

Simple enough.

- Below is research on ICONS -

Was thinking instead of only words, adding certain specific icons on the video player is also a good idea.

Because most of the time, certain graphics/icons is much more easier and faster for understanding.

So I've got some of the research on icons which are more to minimalist/simple. 

Without complicated strokes or colors..

just small icon.

4th day of shooting

This is the last day of shooting in this corridor..

and gonna move to other corridor after tis week. 

Luckily the rain and wind doesn't destroy my set up,

or else I gonna kill myself .. haha!

So today we only hv 2 person.

my actress and me. 

Everything finish earlier.

The footages should be fine. 

Anyway, we spent too much time on set up..

even if there's anything with the video if it's not major problem,

I don't think I'll reshoot again.

No choice. 

Need to finish other first.

3rd day shooting

2nd day shooting

Today is a full day shoot, but even 7 hours is not enough for us to finish this corridor's scenes.

One of our crew suggested me to stick the whole corridor with newspaper instead of black cloth..so we started to work on this in the early of morning. Then, we have spent most of our time on set up again.
Hanging newspaper to block the sunlight.

Create a more darker environment and ambience.

This is the look and feel of the envrionment, besides newspaper there's also piece of black cloth hanging outside..so that the corridor would be covered nicely. 

But my crew and I spent around 3 to 4 hrs on set up..therefore we still have lack of time for shooting. 

No choice but to continue my shooting on the next day.

The only one thing that I worry is the wether, it's so lucky that there's no rain in this two days.. 

Hopefully there is no rain on monday too. 

1st day shooting at primary school

Today it was too lucky that I've another friend that willing to help me on set up ..

So altogether there're 3 persons here to set up including me.

We used black cloth to cover the side way..

and the end side, we used a thinner black cloth to cover,

and add on a layer of newspaper.

Here's some pictures that shows how they hang those things up.

It's actually quite difficult and tiring to set this thing up, 

especially when we have the problem of "lack of manpower".

We start shooting around 9.30am, and ends at 3pm.. ( actress available time )

Unfortunately we spent more than half of the time to set up and left around 2 hrs++ for shooting only.

So we didn't complete shots in this corridor.

So no choice, I've to continue this shooting tomorrow.

shooting day again at "primary school, SKTBM"
