PRE- PRODUCTION , DAY 2:
As for today, Each of the groupmates have returned with the Fables they have choosen and how they want to twist and interprate it into a video.
Julian came fr consultation on each of the stories that we have choosen. Was told that mine was kind of abstract. Also , afraid that it might be too draggy to be done.
However, mine was choosen to develop on within the group as the story is almost there. Huizhen, Daniel and Yijie came up with quite a number of interesting ideas to be develop. AND it was really really tough to settle down with an idea that could make each and every memeber like it.
Since we are taking too much time on settling down with an idea that everyone can agree on. We decided to use a different, and simplier Aesop Fables to work with. Aesop fabels with moral of " Greed" from Rachal and "There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth." from Subha. So, in the end we used " The boy that cried wolfs".
And here comes the ideas:
-Using stop motion
-Using objects instead of humans
Problems:
-Once again, not all group members are comfortable with the idea of using stop motion.
Solution:
- Those we are in favour of the stopmotion idea and could see the picture explained to those that are not sure of stop motion. So that everyone i nthe group gets to know how it will turn out to be.
After many many mins to hours of discussion again, we decided to use Apples as the cast and create a stop motion of " The boy cried wolfs" story.
Here is a rough draft of the set design of what the setting of the Apple's location will be like. DAniel came out with the idea of the Apples living in a fruit farm or fruit basket, then i decided to doodle out a rough oen so that it's easier for everyone to visualise it and explain it.
Went to check out the different price , colours and sizes of the apples
I would say that Day 2's group discussion might be of a roller coaster ride. And of cause, if ideas don't work out, it was wise of the group to change it and try to make it work by taking on new ideas. That is why we are able to get an idea that all of us agreed on. Way to go~!
