In the first meeting, each of us present our story ideas, what are the different camera effects that is possible. There is one time where I stumble across the Green Hornet trailer where Jay Chou is fighting in slow-mo. I thought it is a very cool effect to do. In the end, we decided to do the film about super powers. Another idea is a mixture of Edge of Tomorrow and Inception, where the main lead is experiencing a loop, or deja vu.
Previz/ Draft Shoot
The next meeting just before we start our Pre-visualisation, we think that to have super powers in the film is abit challenging as we are afraid that the audience may not understand, and having just one minute duration is making it harder. In the end, we replace the super powers to a fighting scene. Fortunately when we arrive at the set, the weather is perfect, however we did not expect the weather to be that hot, we are all burning. We did a draft shot, looking at what shot is the best along the way, and went to edit straight away. The previz was ready, the first time we watch it, we are confused, to laugh or not, because it turns out to be a comedy film than a serious one, until we re-watch the previz with the music from a funny fighting scene in the movie Singham (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giJCL_jhnsE), we concluded that we should do comedy.
Production
The next day, our final shoot, production. Things went smoothly.
The scene where I was being dragged by Mayamin was inspired by the Singham movie too!
Another scene after the ending where Zul and Mayamin was skating together and Mayamin hugs Zul. Actually, Mayamin was hugging Jing Xuan. The viewers did not know that and we are happy!
Summary
We got sunburnt but the process was fun. I gained experience in film making. Overall I am very happy with our work!
