Director's Journal Week 12

     We arrived at 5:30 in the afternoon and we saw Ah Leow and Danny sitting on the sofa. We greeted each other before sitting down and then long wait was started. We are told that there will be refreshment but the manager of the event came to told us that there will be delay for it and she apologized sincerely. She knew that we were starving and after a few minutes, the manager came up with a loaf of bread and she asked us to eat some bread first.

      Time don't fly when we wait there, nothing much i can do but stare at the window. Just before entering the hall, puffs were served, two pieces each person. At the same time, we realized that tea and coffee were served, they were already there when we arrived, but the waiter didn't tell us.

      I entered the hall, it is small but it fits the number of people we had well. I sat down and talked to Ah Leow and joined by others later. The event was started by the performance by the emcee and then we listened to the speeches by the manager of the event, the president of Media Club and Head of Department.

     There are 14 videos and there was no break in between, I had to sneak out in the middle of the screening to go to toilet which made me missed some part of the videos. Every video has its own story and style; and every director has his or her own thought and way to tell a story but the personalities were not seen from the video they had directed. Young directors. Among the videos, i like the composition of "Petonah", the pictures shoot at rice field are good with the help of natural sunlight, green field and blue sky. Other than that, the colour of the film "Epilogue" do bring us to old times.

     Buffet was ready after the screening. I didn't eat much because it's late for dinner and I don't have appetite for supper. The food didn't taste good but it filled my stomach. After that, 7 awards were given and then the event was ended.

     Everybody went out of the hall and took pictures; they all had good time.

 
 Overall, the event is smooth and thank you who has contributed.
