A good good day~A good good good good good day xD Can you imagine this big baby has been playing the swing for almost 20 minutes while singing at the park? Yes, indeed insane. I have once received some weird stares at me quite a long while, lucky there wasn't much people today>.>
I had this mood to sing today, so I couldn't wait to make a recording once I got home. I picked Jingle bells for some reason lmaoo Though Christmas will be still a month away from now, I was getting all excited to fall into this Christmas atmosphere in my own wild world. It took me several times to record the whole song, then I had a nice lunch, and heading to AIT on time. Or even a bit earlier than usual. We were all shocked that we would be having our presentation in tomorrow's class all in a sudden, since he hasn't talked to us about it at all recently. I remember the only time he mentioned it was at the beginning of this semester, the first lesson we had when he explained the guide of all the assessments we got. But it's ok since it's a short presentation, I wasn't that as worried as I should be. And the class was nothing much to be taught, but Patrick has been showing us a piles of clips throughout the entire lesson, in order to sharpen our skills in making our music video, which is due next Wednesday. He has listed out 5 or 6 types of music videos most likely made by the producers. The lazy type - means there is nothing much editing to do for the footage; the non-narrative type is the one can be varied in 3 levels, he has given us three examples such as the one from Taylor Swift, we can tell how fancy the director wanted to make the video for seeing how many costumes Taylor has changed in one single video. Oh and the narrative type of course, I like this type of music video too, when they are designated to match with the lyrics. A simple but meaningful story is formed through the montage and beautifully made plot via the interaction between the characters. I went all crazy and shit since one of the videos he showed was once my favourites back then. Apart from this, the creative and remix types, both have amazed everyone a lot. There must be hell lots of work needed to be done, and collaboration is also essential for the textures and patterns making for BIG thing, as in, the OK go's one take video in which the entirety is made without any cuts in between. They hired hundreds or thousands of Japanese to help them out, and shots were taken at a mountain height angle....It is just AMAJINGG....Patrick said we might not see any cuts during our viewing experience, there might be, or might not be any cuts, but if there is any, there must be some really smart editing work in there making the cuts to seem so much less invisible.
Anyhow I couldn't catch up with my friend Kevin that long after 5ish. We only went to a Thai restaurant, had a nice dinner and headed back to Central afterwards. It's all my fault for getting heaps of things to do I know. But nice talk there, we had our great fun picking which restaurant to go, as well as a deep talk about our future career and current studies and cultural aspects during dinner time. I was totally into these two dishes btw. They were huge, much huger than I expected. :3
Finishing off my awesome presentation (preparation I mean)...Yes, that's basically what I did for the night. I chose this clip from the film 'Oldboy', a slightly disturbing film for the majority but I love it. I love its aesthetic value, political aspects, editing techniques and all. I just love it so much. I quickly jotted down everything I would be saying for the presentation. The dot points were succinct and useful written on a sticker paper, and I put it at the back pocket of my bag. DONE
Flight tickets booking failed in the first try because we still haven't made up our mind. Besides, we didn't want to make an important decision at this late...
Ok somebody loves my recordings as always x3...He said even with some background noises, I still sang pretty well :3 My wonderful moment is to send somebody this recording to make him cheerful too!!!
PS: Safe trip Kevin!!! I'll see you next year!!! :3
