Day 10 to 16

forgot to update the journal. anyways since day 9 there has been quite a lot of progress in our group.

we found out that "MadHouse" is already used by another company, so we're not sure whether or not to keep using it. but that's not important.

we managed to get the furniture that we needed, 3 couches, one small table, television, and 2 high chairs. andrea somehow managed to convince vaani to lend us the furniture, and now all we have to do is take care of it until it's time to return it.

we also had a dry run of the whole video, and we managed to identify potential problems to be rectified, like some scripts being too long, and camera placement. afterwards we just had to go back and finalize the scripts and we're ready to go.

however, the "ever reliable and friendly" guys at the video equipment store told us that we can't borrow 3 cameras. i mean, yea, sure we found out that we could give up one camera, but we definitely NEED 2 cameras in order to let everything go smoothly, we can't just film everything 3 times over, it won't be exact. filming it twice is already a gamble, and so we really need the 2 cameras. ronald please do something about it! 

so, interim assessment on day 15, i think we did a good job with it. now jsut gotta finish the timeline and stuff.

ok, here's the lowdown on what we're doing, just realised i haven't given much information on the project.

we're doing a talkshow. jake will be the host, and andrea, angie, jake (yes, jake again) and i will be the guests. we're gonna talk about our life so far in MOI, what kinda things we've learnt and our experiences in year 1.

how are we gonna have two jakes? answer: we're gonna clone him we're gonna film it twice, one with jake in the frame, the other with all the guests in the frame, and join the images together in AfterEffects.  also we will use different cameras to film a) a wide shot of everyone, where the cloning effect will be used, b) one camera on the host, and c) one camera on all the guests. if there are individual responses, we're gonna zoom in with AfterEffects, since there is no one on the camera to help us zoom. so now you see why we need 2 cameras at least?

today we have to hand in the scripts, timelines, storyboards and all other things related which may have slipped my mind. afterwards jake and i will go to the tv studio, probably to set up the furniture. studio filming should wrapped up by this week, unless we really screw up, which i;m praying that we won't.
