Yes, it's the day when the team have to prepare in the early morning for the equipments that are needed and went on to the office. 900 - 1030AM. We have to placed our equipments based on the planning that we had earlier on. 1st July.
Thus, we now had a rough idea in mind of the different filming techniques we have to incorporate and the different spots that we can placed our camcorder and the tripod. Firstly, we took 2 camcorder and attached it to the tripod stand then we shorten the height and placed in ontop of the staffs' cabinets. We wanted different views of the shots therefore, we placed one of it at the back of the office and the other one and the front but facing more to the side which are able to capture their facial expressions when they are dancing.
Things were funny as some of them are still not very familiar with the steps but, we are glad that we did not take too much time on the NGs. After giving guidance to the team, the staffs managed to take cue and know when to start and stop.
After the indoor shot, we moved on to the outdoor shot. The area where it's just near the lifts. We asked them to stand in 4 lines and DANCE! The two cameraman, Geraldine and Li Jun captured their NGs and also some nice shots which we felt we are able to make it into a nice spoof. The outdoor scene were almost the same as the indoor scene, just that we wanted to make the whole video to look as if the staffs danced from their office to the lifts; like a transitions that are going on.
After which, we went back to the office to shoot the scene where the staffs will sit in 2 rows, facing each other. They will then do some hands actions, and at the same time, they will have to listen to the cue of the team and stand up one by one. Followed by a shout of "CED" and Jump!
I suppose both the team and the staffs did enjoyed for the whole process. It was a great experience for all of us as we have no idea that we could come up with such a plan for the staffs. It was indeed a learning experience, allowing us to learn how to give instructions and to decide what do we have to do for the next step.
Is this called PBL in RP? Haha! Self-exploring and self-learning.
