Reflectzion Eight

We did a little bit of action today.. like action and no sound.. like a silent film.. MOS.. i and vivian had a hard time thinking up of stuff to do. I thought that it would be easier to make it look like she liked me but how to make it look like she was expecting a proposal.. I added a little diggin into the pocket while the girl peered over expectantly.. to see if anyone could take the hint.. Ben thought i was crying.. people do put their hand to their eyes for lots of other reasons too.. I thought that it was pretty fun for an exercise.. it was almost like a drama session. I liked it.. Siew Eng’s looked like charades to me.. it didn’t look like someone wld actually do that.. but it was a pretty tough situation.. and the documentary, the terminal bar.. that was pretty cool.. i watched this movie the other day.. ‘who framed roger rabbit’ and i saw this bar called terminal bar, i think, in there.. if i hadn’t watched that documentary, i would have never noticed.. Who framed roger rabbit was really nice.. the way they integrated live action with animation.. brilliant..

Storytelling Eight

Terminal Bar..
2,500 photos of customers..

All it takes for a visual trigger is a simple picture, of even just a face.

Bugis was a seedy place in the 50s

Story is action.
Any activity or movement and interaction.
showing feeling is better than stating feelings.

Film is behaviour
Actions are behaviours
Emotions understood from actions and reactions.

Dynamic Action
Enrich the experience of the viewers by building emotional relationships between them and the characters.

and, oh yeah, I still wanna be batman!!!!
