i really feel jittery now. wheww..in less than an hour, we are presenting our first project for mybasic tv/video production. oh well, it is STILL PICTURE MUSIC VIDEO. we were asked to either tell a story or communicate a theme using only sounds, images and a 3-minute song of our choice.

hmm.. aside from the usual fright i get everytime we have a presentation, i am having problems grasping the exact point of our video. and i wonder how i would be able to defend our project (because we would be getting comments and interrogation from our classmates) if i myself, do not get it that well. (hmm.. i wish im techie-wise enough so i could link you from here to the video so you could see it yourself).

we chose to communicate a theme than tell a story- the theme being "the things we leave behind / being left behind".you see, it is kind of dual in nature because those two are two different things, right? they have a common factor - which is the concept of leaving - but still, we just cant say they are one and the same. we showed pictures of objects - some sepia,some colored - in random order so that is what makes it harder to understand (or at least for me). using the opening song in the movie "closer" - damien rice' the blower's daughter, we aim to evoke nostalgic feelings from our viewers. and i just hope we achieve that objective. (shet.. nakakakaba)

hmm.. we hope we do it good. god knows how much our group worked hard and sacrificed things for this. my groupmate denise was not able to watch yesterday's ateneo vs la salle game (although she was supposed to watch from the green archers side because of her dad). joel had to spend his car's gas and look for every editing place katipunan. gel, who is the daughter of jose mari chan (hmm..trivia), did a weird thing of asking her eliazo dormer friend to allow us to use her bed, her bra and her roommates used clothes and undie for a certain photo shoot, haha. and tami met up with us yesterday after being food-poisoned last friday.
