Project 2A: Production Shoot
.png)
In the Week 7, we were taught on how to film using all the
shooting equipment, lighting and Mr.Martin was beside
guiding us.These are the Timelapse video of our group
production shoot:
In this project, we need to film a total of 4 scenes with 7
shots. Mr. Martin has given us example video clips from
"Everything, Everywhere, All at Once" for reference.
Additionally, he has provided a storyboard for each scene,
detailing the shot sizes and dialogues.

We were randomly assigned to groups and after some
discussions, we decided on the role allocations. We
received a brief explanation of each role and its tasks
to ensure we know exactly what to do on shooting day.

As the director, I collaborated with my assistant
director to plan the timetable for our shooting scenes.
This careful planning is important to ensure that the
shooting would proceed according to schedule and avoid
wasting time. In fact, everyone arrived early on the day
of the shoot to set up and get ready.

Our group has also meticulously assisted Art Director,
Khu Ying Ying to plan out the costumes, props, and
makeup needed for different scenes to ensure that we are
thoroughly prepared on shooting day. We have carefully
considered each aspect to guarantee that everything
aligns with our vision and runs smoothly during the
shoot.

After the shooting, we exported the video clips and audio
then filtered and organised it in our shared drive.

After completing our shooting, Mr. Martin instructed us to
download the footage and audio provided by our producer
and to edit a draft with synchronized dialogue. The
arrangement of the video clips does not need to follow the
given storyboard. We will need this rough cut ready for
color correction and grading in the next class.

Since this scene 1 shot 1 was a bit shaky, I applied a
warp stabilizer and simultaneously adjusted the scale and
position of the frame to ensure the shot looked smooth.

As instructed, we will need to color grade our production
shoot using the following combinations:
- Teal & Orange
- Bluish (cold)
- Greenish (cold)
- Brownish (warm)
- Desaturation, 50%-70%
- Black & White, High Contrast
After the color correction process, I began color grading
with adding adjustment layer to all clips to differentiate
accordingly. I increased the temperature of this scene
while adjusting its saturation and highlights
respectively.

By applying the knowledge gained in week 2, I learned
how to adjust the music and audio in the video
effectively to make it like a trailer also input some
transition effect.

Proposal:
Submission:
I went hiking with my parents at Setia Alam Community Trail near
my house, which has a usual Sunday outing for us. However, this
time I asked them to assist me by holding the camera for most of
the wide shots and full shots. This collaboration allowed me to
focus on being in the frame and capturing the scenic beauty of
our hike from various angles, making the video more dynamic and
visually appealing. Their help was invaluable in ensuring we got
the best possible footage for my TikTok project.

After filtering all the videos, I added some animation
between the transitions, added titles and layouts to enhance
the visual appeal and make the video more engaging. I also
incorporated the background music (BGM) that I had included
in my proposal. These additions brought the video to life,
making it more polished and enjoyable to watch.

Experience:
Filming this TikTok was an exciting and creative journey. Starting with the
"Get Ready with Me" segment, I enjoyed showcasing my skincare routine and
selecting the right products to highlight. The transition from home to hiking
required careful planning and creativity to ensure it was seamless and
engaging. The hiking segment was particularly enjoyable as I captured the
natural beauty around me, which added a refreshing and adventurous vibe to the
video. The final touch was adding a motivational quote, which felt meaningful
and uplifting, perfectly wrapping up the entire concept.
Observation:
Throughout the filming of " Everything,Everywhere All at Once" with
groupmates, I observed the importance of attention to detail and teamwork.
Each scene and shots required different filming techniques and settings
especially from art director, audio boomer lighting. which taught me how to
adapt quickly and efficiently as a director of photography. I also noticed how
crucial lighting and sound quality are in enhancing the overall visual and
auditory appeal of the shooting production. Transitioning between scenes
smoothly was a key challenge, but it also highlighted the significance of
creative editing into trailer making the video cohesive and engaging.
Findings:
One of the main findings from this experience was the value of pre-planning.
Having a clear storyboard and script helped streamline the filming process and
made each step more manageable. I also discovered that incorporating different
themes into one video can make content more dynamic and interesting for
viewers. Additionally, the positive feedback and engagement from my audience
reaffirmed the impact of combining personal interests with motivational
content, making the video not only entertaining but also inspiring.
