I learnt that in is not easy to present something.When I present my group Im not scared trailer I felt nervous,scared and panic.I need to let my audience feel happy and it’s fine about it.When me and Adrea present our front part of our trailer we got lots of thing to say but the last two part we are confused because it dosen’t link at all.Before my group present we did not discuss with each other andwhen the audience ask us some question we got panic but in the end,we manage to handle the situation though we did not really got to discuss.

COMIC LIFE

We had new task . Ms Lee was going to let us listen to a trailer of the movie "I Am Not Scared" . That is right , LISTEN not WATCH . Then we all listened to it . At first , I thought it was going to be a trailer of some horror movie or some escaping death thing like Final Destination . After listening to the trailer , some words like "Italian countryside" and "ruthless kidnapping" told me that it was a foreign movie and it was about a kidnapping , nothing related to the supernatural .

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

Title : Sasuke And Itachi's Childhood
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 .

I've learned how to plan the presentation and link the pictures together to make a different story from the director's.
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.
