Video-Shootin'

A couple of weeks ago, I got a request from Zetty to help her out with her presentation. She wanted me to direct a video for her visual aid. I was pretty much caught up with A LOT of work at the time, but I managed to help her out. Of course, I'd try my best to help out any of my friends, despite the situation I'm in at the time, especially for Zetty. And I had so much fun doing it! It allowed me to release myself a lil from the chaos, that has fortunately gone slightly smooth just recently.

So, the video I directed, was about 'Memory Loss' and it consisted of 3 scenes which were, a Test scene, a scene at the mall, & a scene in the bedroom. Zetty picked me up from my house on a Saturday to go shoot the outdoor scenes. We invited Fareeza to helpout too, as the supporting actress.

The first scene was the test scene. I decided to bring them to UM, hoping to find an empty class to make the test scene look more realistic. Sadly since it as a Saturday, all the classes wer locked! We went up & down the stairs of Block U, and found no classes at all! We were gonna resort to juz acting it out at the hall way between the two lecture halls at the ground floor, when we realized the lights in DK2 were on, with the airconditioner & all. So, yeay!! I took pictures from the video stills :

Entering the 'Examination Hall' with last minute note referrals.

Passing the 'Question papers'.

"You may begin". Somehow, this scene turned out pretty well, eventhough it was juz the two of us in that big old hall. Hahaha, didn't really seem like it, at first glance.

This is where I see a really familiar question, and can't seem to remember anything about it. Ohh, and yess, Zetty wanted me to be the director ANNNNDD the friggin lead actress.

Haha, freakin ayy man :P

(p/s: look at Fareeza at the back, FULL concentration man!! 4 flat student fo sho!)

After completing the test scene, we headed to Midvalley to shoot the Mall scene. It was a Saturday, so unsuprisingly, most of the shops were full. Lucky us, Burger King had some space, and so we did it there :)

'Eating scene'. Gotta love Fareeza's face here. Haha :P

This was suppose to be a scene potraying 'fun times & laughter'. Zetty did the laughing, but I got HUGE onions caught hanging out from my mouth. But we used the clip anyway.

This was the scene where my friends were talking about something we've been talking about for so long, and they were asking me about it. Good job Fareeza! So cute!

Me, being the friggin 'memory loss girl', couldn't recall the thing they were talking about.Haha. Even when they said it was okay, I kept thinking about it while the others were already talking about something else. That seemed to work out well. Whooppeee :D

The last scene was suppose to be in a bedroom. So I handled that on my own.

I got Farah to help act it out, and I handled the camera angles & everything else.

We shot everything in the guest room. Heee :)

She wakes up in the morning.

All hungover-lookin & drowsy. Getting her hair in place.LOL :)

She decides to go make herself a drink.

On the way out, she hears her cell phone ring.

Answers it, and starts chit-chatting, and the conversation goes on for about 15minutes.

She's done talking. Hangs up. And suddenly forgets what she was gonna do.

THE END!! :)

All 3 scenes were 1minute or less. Zetty was the one who came up with all the ideas of course, coz it was her piece to present anyway. I juz helped bring her ideas to life, with whatever basic video-making experience I had. Chewaaahh. Hahaha.

Zetty's presentation was last Tuesday. And guess what?! Her lecturer LOVED it !! He loved the visual aids (weee!!!), he loved her speech (yeay Zetty!!), and even said to the whole class that Zetty'll be the benchmark for everyone. Woohhoo!! Pressure's on babe. Haha, but congrats & good on you!

Thanks A LOT to Fareeza too, coz without her, our scenes wouldn't have looked real enough. Haha. Love you guys! :)
