We have this assignment for our Media and Advertising course. We are supposed to make a movie on any topic we choose, but the topic has to be related to university. Our defined space is our university.
It's a completely new thing that we are doing. I have never used a handi cam, as far as I remember, and even if I had I have never used to make a professional movie. And that's what we are supposed to do now..... make a professional movie.
We took up this opportunity to let everyone know how many issues we face in university. After all we have been forced to make a movie on university then why not use it to make ourselves feel better by finally letting out all the agony we have to go through each day. Almost everyone has chosen a topic that would delineate the many problems we face every day with just a tinge of positive aspects of the university.
We shooted for the movie this week and the week before. Our topic is "Final Year Project". The first thing was to write a script for the movie, things we'll be including, things we won't be including, for the things which will be included how would they be shown, this and that. We decided to act out the whole thing.
Hey wait, the first thing was to get our topic approved by the teacher, and his reply was "Okay, you can do it if you want to but is it just your groups' problem or is it general."
Our answer was "General"
Then he scared us by saying that "Okay, but it would be difficult. Would you be able to convince the teachers to act"
It was at that point that it occurred to us that we might need to do that. The problem with us is we don't normally think, we just act. For the question we replied "Well, we can try, but can we switch to a different topic if we fail"
And he said "Of course"
So then, came the thing of deciding what to do and what not to do.
I was convinced that everyone I asked would agree to act.
Well, I didn't know how wrong I was.
I'll continue with the story later on.
