When I reached the eerie isolated place , I went to search for the glasses .
Eerie as in how ?
How did he look for the glasses ?
No feelings when he reached the place ?
I thought it was a cave that had gold and gems but after i opened the trapdoor I saw a foot .
No pace ?
How slow/fast he open the trapdoor ?
So what if he saw a foot ?
What was his actions ?
What was his reaction to what he saw ?
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes . I tried to recall where we had been for the whole afternoon adn what would mum do if I could not find them . Then I opened my eyes and saw my sister trying to read my thoughts . I stared back at her with impatient eyes . "Wait here ." , I told her and I immediately dropped my bike and ran off .
I ran in the field , the grass brushing agaisnt my legs , trying to prevent me from going any further . I pushed my through . In my head , all I could think of was where the glasses could be . I managed to recall that we had been in one place and I tried to retrace my steps . The field seemed endless . I finally reached the place .
It looked like an eerie isolated place if you were alone . The place was dead quiet except for the crow who was crowing . I looked down and searched along the path . I must have dropped it here nearby .
I was looking through the grass when i finnally saw it as it shined in the sun . I went over to pick it up . Then I heard a loud thud . i looked down and picked the glasses up and stood up . For a moment , I just stared at the ground . Then I bent down again and brushed the grass away . It was a trapdoor . I wondered what would be behind the trapdoor ...
I had an uneasy feeling that I would discover somthing horrible but I took up all the courage I had and lifted up the latch . I slowly opened the door . I thought to myself and smiled ... a cave of gold and gems ... Dust flew out as I opend it ... light shone through the darkness ... I could see a coat and there was a foot showing ... covered with mud and dirt .
In a split second , I let go of the trapdoor and picked up my legs and sped off . I sprinted back to my sister , gripping the glasses tight as if I was about to break them . My heart was thumping so hard as if you could hear it . Sweat dripped down my face and i gasped for breath . I shot her one worried look and gave her back the glasses .

I was running at the speed of light. Legs trying to spread out as long as possible. Wind is carrying me along, so that i could run faster than ever. Reaching the place, walking through the path , looking everywhere to find the glasses. Hoping that the glasses could appear in a sudden. Walking slowly through the brick door and up the hill.
I bent down to have a closer look on the ground. "No clues of the glasses.."I mumbled. I looked up and in the distance, I saw something shinning. "YES!Thank God i've found my glasses."I mumbled. I sighed with a relieve and ran eagerly to grab the glasses. "Thud" The sound made me curious on what am i stepping on. I raised my foot and slowly opened the door. My eyes is fixed at the ground. Dark shadows made me curious and excited to know the answer. I squinted my eyes , trying to figure out the whats inside. A leg appeared , I screamed and immediately closed the door. A loud sound came from the metal door.
I ran back to my sister like a ostrich, grabbing the glasses tightly. Reaching my destination and pass the glasses to my sister. "Let's rush home." I said. Sat on my bike and my sister stood on it.

Im not scared reflection
Speech is also important like when the sister say mom will kill you her speech sounds serious.Angles shot is the most important thing to the video because to show the thing they need to show like the sister spectacles.The colors and lighting like he when opening trap door to see whats inside the tunnel.

It was our summer vacation and we decided to go around the fields to relax . I could see the fluffy clouds in the blue sky . The grass was tall , gleaming golden . I raced the others down the hill as the wind blew against me like gentle kisses . The scent of the fresh air wafted throug my nose . We played and laughed all the way . Yes , it was definitely the most perfect summer we ever had .
The next day , I went to the fields alone . I looked straight , as if i could see my prey like an eyes of an eagle . I ran through the tall grass with my arms wide open . Like any other bird that was released from it's cage , I ran like I had much freedom than I could ever had ...
As i ran through , I could feel the grass tickling my legs . That was when something caught my eye . I stopped frozen . I squinted my eyes to try to see what was happening . There was something mysterious up on te hill which was not very clear . My brain told me to get away but my body was still .
I had not noticed that I had been staring for a while until my arms felt heavy . I could not think straight . the ditraction had got me thinking really hard .

COMIC LIFE
The next day , Ms Lee gave us some pictures from the trailer . We had to rearrange them into a story and we were the directors . She also gave us a sheet of paper with instructions . We had piut the paper aside so we had forgotten , so that was our first mistake . Our next mistake was we did not link the whole story together . Yes , we linked PARTS of the story together . Then we took the parts and tried to link them but we could not . Then , i remembered parts of the movie i watched online at Yvonne's house and tried to put them in the correct sequence . My mistake ? I forgot that we were the directors and we were not suppose to follow exactly what happened in the original story . anyway , i watched part of the story , not the trailer .
When we watched the other groups' story , it had funny twists . Like , in Pratick's group , they already had the suspects when they had no problem yet . I think they were trying to follow what they had heard , the sentence that said "where everyone is a suspect" . They had elaborated on the key incidents like why this part is the problem trigger ? . Jaryl's group totally made sense because they had the trailer in Yee Xin's handphone (hey , isn't that cheating ? Heh , guess i cheated too since i did research !
Then during the time where we were making the story , we were argueing why this part fits with this part , like why must we show the main character climbing over the fence before the hand in the mud ? I was pretty sure our story did not make sense , we could not fit some of the pictures with the story . In the ned , we still managed to put it together because this time , Danial argued a little bit with Adrea and I .
AMV info
Song : What I've Done (Pls : When we uploaded the video on youtube they took out the audio so its song is different)
Video : Get from Youtube
Main characters : Sasuke Uchiha , Itachi Uchiha
Other characters: Naruto , Kisame
This AMV is about the Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha . Yes , they are related , they are brothers . Their parents ? Itachi Uchiha killed them . he was in an Anbu mission , sent by the 3rd Hokage . He gave Sasuke a chance to live . Sasuke grew up , hatred in his heart , yearning to kill Itachi . then Itachi joined the Akatsuki clan and he and Kisame was sent off to find Naruto . When they found Naruto , Sasuke found them . Sasuke saw Itachi and tried to kill him but unsuccessfully did not and ended up getting beaten up by Itachi .
How did we put the AMV together ?
First , we decided which episode of Naruto we should find . Then , we went to look for the episodes on Youtube . We had some difficulties because we could not find the episodes we wanted . Then we decided on a song that would fit . Then I asked Danial to get the song since he was a Linkin Park fan . Unfortunately , he had forgotten so we had to use the song in my handphone (which ,the computer deleted all the songs in it by accident -.-) .
Problem situation the main character faced and what is it that you want to show us about this character eg his personality and the change and why such a change occur.
The changed occurred when his brother , who was about 8 years older , killed their parents . He obviously loved his parents so much that it had brought so much anger in him that he wanted to kill Itachi . Sasuke changed from a peaceful and loving kid to a hating , strong and straightforward one . We are mainly focusing on him changing and his hate for his brother . That is why he got strong enough . We wanted to put the scene where he had gotten his curse mark ( which make him stronger ) but could not find it . We had a clip where he had killed Orochimaru (the bad guy ninja who had bitten him and that is why he has the curse mark ) but if we had put it in , we had to make a video that was 6 minutes or more . The time limit was only 3 minutes . I would be glad to make a video about it if i had the chance again .

Linking the pictures together takes time , because we need to think of the other pictures and what are they going to happen after that. Problem is a very important thing too. Without a problem , the story will become very boring and no one will ever bother about the story. Worsening the problem is making the problem bigger , having more difficulties in solving the problem.
For our begining , we chose the clam day , which the boys are having fun cycling at the countryside.
But the problem came when the main character saw some vehicals and found a door lead to a path where the kipnapped boy is inside the door.
Being a presenter needs alot of confidence and must be daring enough to talk to the audience. Must have a very good plan before he/she presents.

Planning was quite confusing actually , I do not know the happenings about Naruto and Sasuke.
But this project/work gave me some ideas of how the part of the story happened.
Sasuke and Itachi are siblings/family.But Itachi killed their own parents when Sasuke was young.So that's why Sasuke wanted revenge on behalf of his parents.
By this story,I felt very sad because Itachi killed his parents while they are innocent. It gave me a very deep impression of him.
So we decided to make a video/clip about Sasuke and Itachi , their past.(according to my sayings.)
For the music , at first we decided to use ' New Divide ' by Likin Park. But in the end , Danial did not download the music , so we used another music which i forgotten the Name for it -.-
Erika gave most ideas for the video. I just agree or disagree and gave a better one.The boys are equally quiet.But i think Danial did contribute a bit while Ken just sat down there and watching what we are doing. He did say somethings.
To Erika :
Get well soon Erika! I do not want the whole class to be sick and in the end left 1 or 2 people in the class listening to the teacher's lecture , totally boring and we need to answer those questions. Drink more water! :D
Thursday, July 30, 2009
First we started on Sasuke vs Orochimaru . That so called bad guy who had given Sasuke the curse mark . We were going to show the part where Sasuke finally killed orochimaru after very long years . They all agreed to that but Ms Lee asked what was the story about so I did not know .
Then after a few days i decided to change the story to Sasuke's chldhood and his relationship with Itachi , his elder brother . Most of sasuke's chidhood was sad . They all agreed to it . I wondered why I was always giving ideas . The boys are quiet most of the time .... Adrea gave some ideas .
They agree too much i guess . It is not like I am the person giving ideas all the time . They are all easy to work with , I just want them to speak up so that we can produce a better video ....
Well, i have to go . I am having a fever right now so i have to get off the computer .
Erika
Questions :
What is interesting about Sasuke's relationship with his brother? Elaborate more...and what aspects of this relationship did the group decide on?
It is interesting because Itachi , which is his older brother , killed their parents . Why ? He was sent on an Anbu mission to kill the whole of the Uchiha clan . He spared Sasuke for some reason , which i forgotten . Now they are both grown ups , Sasuke wants to kill Itachi because he will never forget the day Itachi killed their parents .
What can you do as a group to make sure everyone contributes? Give some suggestions.
I can make them give suggestions more because Danial is a bigger fan but unfortunately , Yvonne , the bigger fan , said he gave the wrong information . Ken totally has no idea so ... he can give suggestions on effects . I'll try asking them more questions . Adrea gives ideas so there are no problems with her .

Our Plan
SHOWING : Past memories , siblings relationships , childhood .
SONG : New Divide -Linkin Park
I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide, the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes across this new divide
In every loss, in every lie, in every truth that you'd deny
And each regret and each goodbye was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
Across this new divide, across this new divide
First clip : Itachi killed the whole clan
Second clip : (how the siblings separated ways ) After Itachi killed the Uchiha clan , he ran away to join the Akatsuki Team , before that he told Sasuke if he wants to kill him one day , he have to force his hatred and get more power .
Third clip :Sasuke vs Orochimaru in disguise . get the curse mark
Sasuke kill Itachi after getting power (curse mark)
Fourth Clip : The present . ( Latest episode where they last met )
Monday, July 20, 2009
FIRST CLIP-
Music matches the AMV. Cause the scene has included fighting.
As the lyrics ( Lies
You hide behind your lies
You don’t know why
You crossed the line
You’re wrapped up inside,
Your lies
You hide behind your lies
You’re lost inside that cold disguise
Behind your lies… ) , I think this is about when we tell lies but we do not know why we tell lies. We crossed the line by telling alot more lies? Our deep secrets is wrapped inside. And we hide behind our lies so that it will not be seen through by other people?
SECOND CLIP -
Sounds soothing and it has crying scenes. I think its a sad AMV. Based on the lyrics ,(I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I’m done here) , although this is a short paragragh/lyrics its has alot of meaning to let us discover. For me , this resembles that the person is scared , the person has no friends ( lonely ) so there's no one cared for him/her.
This song matches the AMV cause the AMV is showing the hurts and fright.
I prefer , the 2nd AMV. I do not like the 1st AMV cause it sounds very rough as for the 2nd AMV , it does not . It sounds soothing like i just said just now.
The 2 AMVs are very different from each another.The 1st one is related to fighting while the 2nd AMV is related to hurts and fear. Fighting means ' does not have fear in the person , againts the person' .

For example :
Lies
You hide behind your lies
You don’t know why
You crossed the line
You’re wrapped up inside
Your lies
You hide behind your lies
You’re lost inside that cold disguise
Behind your lies…
It shows that Sasuke hid behind his lies , pretending to be Naruto's friend when he was his rival . It also shows that he was hiding from the truth . "Cold disguise" describes that he was a liar and he hides to get away from the truth .

Naruto vs Sasuke

Lies
You hide behind your lies
You don’t know why
You crossed the line
You’re wrapped up inside,
Your lies
You hide behind your lies
You’re lost inside that cold disguise
Behind your lies…
Hard to know what you thought i might say
Seems like we never would talk the right way
Every other minute i’m far from my place
A job without pay, i thought you might say
So, i’m guessing that you probably know
When your insides hollow then you ought to be cold
Like the pure thoughts you stole, it’s going to swallow you whole
Another lie, hard to follow, it followed you home
And like that
You’re faking, you’re mistaken
If you think i’m taking what’s pouring out your soul
Forsaken, what would take me
Everything about my knowing soul
Broken down, a victim of you
Faking, you’re mistaken
If you think i’m taking what’s pouring out your soul
Broken down, a victim of your
Lie
Q4: Maybe you can tell me why this song was selected for this Naruto AMV. Do you think this song fit the scenes from the anime selected. You should be able to :
- explain what the FOCUS of the clip is on and explain why you say this
- refer to certain lines in the lyrics and explain what these lines tell you about the story being focused on in the AMV eg what aspects of the Naruto story is included and which lines explains or tell YOU something ( even if you are not a fan of Naruto or do not know the story) about the story and the characters included in the clip
- how do the images /scenes and what is being shown in the scenes FIT /does NOT FIT with the lines in the song?
- the song selected for the AMV- What feelings / emotions /mood does the song bring out? How is this LINKED to what is shown in the scene or what is happening in the scene?
-are there certain scenes which you feel left a strong impression on you? ( each member can have different opinions on this and should be able to explain why a particular scene or moment left such a strong impression on you)
didn’t think that i had a debt to pay
Until they came to take what i had left away
You said you wouldn’t put me to the test today
But i remember you saying that yesterday
There was a time when your mind wasn’t out of control
Every memory and confession pouring out of your soul
Like these simple thoughts, you swallow them whole
Another lie, hard to follow, they follow you home
And like that
[broken down, a victim of your crime]
This lie is so out of control
Every memory and confession pouring out of your soul
And like that
[broken down, a victim of your...]
Lies
You hide behind your lies
You don’t know why
You crossed the line
You’re wrapped up inside,
Your lies
You hide behind your lies
You’re lost inside that cold disguise
Behind your lies…
Hard to know what you thought i might say
Seems like we never would talk the right way
Every other minute i’m far from my place
A job without pay, i thought you might say
So, i’m guessing that you probably know
When your insides hollow then you ought to be cold
Like the pure thoughts you stole, it’s going to swallow you whole
Another lie, hard to follow, it followed you home
And like that
You’re faking, you’re mistaken
If you think i’m taking what’s pouring out your soul
Forsaken, what would take me
Everything about my knowing soul
Broken down, a victim of you
Faking, you’re mistaken
If you think i’m taking what’s pouring out your soul
Broken down, a victim of your
Lies
Yes.Like I said , the song is energetic and has a fast beat. It matches the fighting speed of Naruto and Sasuke fighting and the other scenes .
When Naruto and Sasuke are fighting , the song gets LOUDER to make the viewers tempted to watch the video.
They focus on Naruto and Sasuke most of the time to show that they are actually rivals . The lyrics is like narrating the scenes showed and the song also has some effects like where the singer did a screamo and it matches Naruto screaming when the nine -tailed fox demon was going to possessed him which makes his stamina chakra increase .

Group discussion
All we do is just sit down there , play music , use the internet , do hyper activities and stuff . I guess that is why we like the AMVs . They have music we enjoy , anime that we like and scenes that we would wish it would happen in real life .
The next question was : Do you like this AMV ? How would you rate it out of 5 stars ? I rated it 4/5 stars . I liked the song . It matches the fighting scens and the story . The scenes shown were great . The only thing is , I don't know why the person put on scenes that does not mean anything . There are room for improvements .
The last question we had to answer was : Why do people make these AMVs ? We did not have time to post but Adrea already did it so I'm just going to put my opinion here . I think they make it because they LOVE anime and are really obsessed with it . They do it because they just love to .
Before my group left the room , Ms Lee told us to stay back for a while . She told us we would be having an upcoming interview . It looked like we were really THAT special . She told us not to worry . She would buy us McDonalds food and let us play Wii while the individual interview . I got excited . I WILL NEVER REGRET JOINING THIS GROUP !
