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 .

You are NOT elaborating enough eg you mentioned some of them having funny twists - what twists?
ReplyDeleteIt was never meant to be the SAME as original story BUT how you made sense of the story - you are the director of the story and how you think story should be told so as to engage the viewers and make the story interesting for them.
You did not explain how your group went about organising the clips and giving examples to elaborate. Like when you mentioned having arguments, pls elaborate on what you disagreed about and why there was disagreement and how you decided.
You need to explain how you used the elements of a narrative to help you put together a logically linked story which is interesting for the reader/viewer
