Shooting

Yesterday, our group (Aileen, Arya, Jin, Sujin and I) had been to Jin's sister's house to shoot our short film-Magic Power. Actually, this idea was Jin's, so she was our derictor. Sujin was the model, Aileen was presenter, I was the cameraman. Arya was our VIP, because our another member Hitomi was sick, she was absent, and Arya did her job and help me lots. So, say thank you to Arya again here.

At 11.00am, we were on the train to Lidcombe. When we had arrived there, the time was for lunch, everybody was hungry, so we had lunch first. Jin's sister was so kind, she prepared many sushi and donuts for us, we were so touched. These food were so yummy. Thank you Jin and Jin's sister. After lunch, we setted up our camera, Jin's sister prepared the stuff for make-up. Then, shooting started. First part, Aileen needed to introduce the make-up steps, we used different angles, such as MLS, MS, MCU ect. Next, our camera would focus on Sujin's face, because she was model and Jin's sister was making up her face, we chose the CU and ECU. When we finished the first part, we turned to the hair salon to do Sujin's hair.

We setted up camera at hair salon again. We needed Aileen to suggest Sujin to change her hair style, so shot the ourside sence first, and then shot the inside part. The hair designer was very kind to us, he did Sujin's hair very beautiful and elegant, now I knew the Magic Power. He was also patient to us, cos we couldn't shot once, sometimes we had to shot twice and to get the best one. After the inside part, we went our again, because we forgot one important thing, which was that we forgot to shoot the inteview part. Sujin had to washed her face and changed her previous hair style. What a pity, she couldn't keep this style for a longer time. When we finished the last section, everybody was laughting. We were so happy because we just used 22 minutes.

After one day's shooting, I felt so tired, same as other crews. All of us were working hard. Really appreciate these nice classmates, without them, the film couldn't be shot. Now, I knew how important team spirit is! Thanks everyone.
