Wini's blog Week 10

We have finally finished our shooting.
We started shooting on 15-17th December, these 3-day shooting is a real challenge for our team both mentally and physically.
The first day shooting was finished at Tee's place, it was very smooth, since we only got all interior scenes.
As for the second day shooting, our team has encountered several challenges. First, we do not have an external microphone for outdoor shooting, if we want high-quality audio, we could not rely on the built in camcorder microphone. Second, the weather that day is not good, it rains when we are filming.
In order to solve the first problem, we changed the shooting angles. We tried to make the camera get closer to the actors, so we could record better audio. Unfortunately, the weather gone bad at the same time, and it was so windy and started to rain. We need to hold an umbrella over the expensive HD camera, we need to protect it and prevent it gets wet. We all in a difficult situation, but luckily we have gone through the hard time and has finished the exterior scene. Later, we shot at Yoko's place, I think most of the stuff are smooth, expect my poor acting.
On Friday, we have finished the remaining parts of our video. We started filming after class and finished shooting within an hour.
After we have transferred the tapes into my computer, the first stage of our video has done. Editing is the only thing we need to do after, and I am confidence that we can make it great by the cooperations of our team-mates!
