This is week is my first week joining the
course of The Art of Film Directing. At first I really wanted to join this
course as one of my External Elective Course (EL). According to my Programme
Structure, I’m supposed to take the EL courses during my 5th or 6th
semester. However, due to some problems regarding our faculty’s registration
system, I have no choice but to take my EL a semester earlier. That is the
reason why I and few of my friends only started to take this course at week 3.
Fortunately, there are still few spots left for us to take this course.
During the lecture, we were told that the
class already started learning on the basic of film directing which is based on
the cyclical production model by Marcus Gillezeau (2004). Even though this week class is on
the second part of the cycle which is the development phase, the lecturer which
is Dr. Azalanshah did take a few minutes to recap on the lesson of previous week.
This make me understand more on the basis on film directing.
As I said before, this week class is on the
second part of the cycle which is the development phase. Development phase
according to cronological cycle is after the first part which is Concept phase. Under
this Development phase, a proposal is created in order to be presented to potential
investor in order to gain their trust on investing towards the project. A
complete proposal would include a few things such as written proposal, synopsis
of the project, budget, list of crews and cast, production and shooting
schedule, and also a pilot. A pilot is an introduction presentation on what the
project is about. It is also known as a ‘taster’ who gives the potential
investor a short glance on what the project will be about.
After the lecture, we are then
required to watch a movie presented by Dr in which we are then required to
write a movie review based on the particular movie we watch that week. This
week, the movie that was by Quentin Tarantino named Kill
Bill Volume 1.
Other than the lecture and movie review, I
was also informed that we need to form groups and prepare a project based on
the type of video given. There are 4 types of videos given by Dr which are
short film, commercial/advertisement, PSA (public service announcement), and
also promo film. I was then invited to join the commercial video team.
Besides having to attend lecture, I also
are required to attend a session known production meeting in which we are
meeting with the students who take the course of TV Production. I was also
informed that the video project is the collaboration between the students of
Film Directing and also TV Production. This week production meeting is about
the presentation of project by each group. These presentations resembles the
development phase that we were learning this week in which each group have to
present their proposal which include the synopsis of the project, budget, list
of crews and also the schedule of shooting.
