WEEK 1
FEBRUARY
17TH 2014 (MONDAY) – This is my first class for The
Art of Film Directing. In completing my future to be in the creative industry.
Seriously I’m getting excited with this class and you should if you are at my
place. I have to learn every single thing that related. As explained by the
lecturer (Dr. Md. Azalanshah), in this class students are required to direct a
film. In the first place, the class consist of more than 15 students and some
of them are not from Department of Media Studies and took it as an elective
subject. An options have been given by the lecturer, remake a scene from
selected film or create several videos with selected theme. By the time the
class are settling their business, me and my friends are having a discussion on
who will be the director and which theme we are going to pick up. Eventually,
everyone agreed to make several videos and some of the students will be chosen
to be the director for each videos.
We
have Short Film, Public Service Announcement (PSA), Advertisement, Department
of Media Studies Promo Video, Documentary and News Coverage. Now, let me
introduce to everyone who are the directors and what are their video category.
First, for short film, it will be directed by Ariff Adli Muhammad and the plan
goes very well because in my thought, after a few videos produce previously he
was more towards being the actor or crew and now how about giving him a chance
to produce something. I think it’s going to be interesting.
Secondly,
will be the PSA and directed by Shino Lim. She had been to Taiwan for a
semester and maybe there are new fresh ideas are coming out so let’s give her a
try on this. Advertisement will be directed by Ahmad Hisyam Azren and this will
be his second direct. As from my experience, this person is quite critical in
production field, parasites beware. But don’t worry you’ll be ok if you have
done your job very well. The last video for this class is the department promo
video and guess what this is one of the toughest videos we are going to
produce. A student from other faculty stood up and volunteer to direct this
video and the funny part comes when he said that, “actually me and my friend
haven’t register this subject and today we plan to just look around in this
class”. So, as for now there will be no one directing the promo video until we
meet on the next class. Before the class end, students who not directing
anything are excluding me have to choose their category of videos.
