MOIP2 - Day 12 (Production Day 05)

• In short, today was kind of rather disappointing.
• I was late after I failed to hear the alarm ring and only reached Wesley's place at around 1130hrs.
• Wesley called me while I was on my way in the bus. He wanted me to buy a mug/ cup, which we need to use for today's shoot.
• I reached Cash Converters and realized that it opens only at 1030hrs. I called Wesley and told him about it. I've got no other choices but to wait for it to open. Then, i quickly bought one pack (did not sell like only 1 mug) for $1.
• I walked back to the interchange quickly but got lost in Bedok Central instead. So, i reached Wesley's place later than expected.
• I went there and they were all prepared but were just waiting for my cup. Everything was set up. The lighting, the talent was in place etc.
• However, we managed to finish shooting all the scenes by 1235hrs, which was earlier then expected.
• By 1pm, we wrapped up for lunch and travelled to Bedok Interchange. It was pouring heavily and Wesley then had to send us to Bedok Interchange in 2 separate trips for his place. We ate and reached school at 1420hrs.
• As it was still raining heavily, we set up all the equipments and got ready to re- shoot he classrooms scenes involving the lead.
  
• We were done in a few takes and proceeded to shoot the classroom scene inside at the air- conditioned corridor.
• Then, we went to the overhead bridge to shoot the other outdoor scene whereby GX and the lead (Laura) has to walk past each other. We could not shoot at the taxi stand as it was pouring so we thought of shooting at the overhead bridge instead.
  
• We had some problems like noise from vehicles and raining noise but we managed to solve the problems and finished with that scene rather quickly.
  
• It finally stopped pouring so heavily but was still drizzling. Nevertheless, we decided to proceed to TCA to shoot the bullying and confrontation scene involving Laura and the bullies.
• AS it was drizzling, we had to change our initial camera position. So we had to think of something else. And last minutely, we decided to not use the jib as we still could not set it up and according to Joshua, some parts were missing....
  
• Then, it started raining so heavily while we were shooting at the ramp there and were forced to take shelter to wait for the rain to stop.
  
• It was not pouring again, so we quickly went back to shoot the scene. But, again, it rained heavily. It was already 6pm and we had no choice but to stop shooting for the day. Laura had to leave at that time too.
  
• Joshua left earlier on for the Diploma show. Me and Ben returned to TDS Audio Room to collect the lighting equipments and discussed ideas and alternatives for the CD design cover and the packaging of our video whilst waiting for Wesley to arrive to load all equipments into his car for safekeeping. GX left me and Ben when we weere onl our way back to TDS, saying that he wants to see the diploma show.
• We went off officially at 1915hrs.
• And, we decided to meet tomorrow at 0930hrs to return the equipments and to start on post production as we have to other days to shoot the remaining scenes due to Interim 2 approaching.
• We thought that maybe we'll shoot on next monday or maybe the weekends provided the casts are all free..
