The Bar in Penang

In today's lesson we were given the task to dress up and go somewhere and make a short clip or skit just to test out our filming, acting skills and ideas. So what we did was we went outside with one of my friends dressed up in a Chinese kimono with a wicker hat on along with a red oriental umbrella. Then the other dressed up in a top hat with a scarf and his Italian? voice. At first we didn't know what we were going to do, but then we found some inspiration from somewhere and we came up with the idea that the man would meet the woman again after a long time of not seeing each other and then the man would say 'but you look forty years older' and after that rude comment the woman would slap the man.

In the editing process we had to cut the bits out that we didn't want when I (the cameraman) said action to start the filming process. We also put in some starting words which was the title and the names of the people in the clip. Then we put the clips in chronological order to make it work together (which is obvious). Then we added in some music but we failed in that so we had to make our own by recording it. Then we put in one or two sound effects and some credits and it was done. After we had reviewed it and shown it to the rest of the class we though it could do with a bit more finishing up, so we put in some audio and video effects to liven up the clip we had done. Then it was really finished.
