Role in “2359” - “Cottoncandy” renamed!
As the title suggests, “Cottoncandy” has been renamed! We had another meeting today to transfer all the videos and also discuss the plans for editting. “2359” suggests about the sequence of events in the film which happens before midnight, and the climax, when midnight strikes. We decided that “Cottoncandy” might sound a more like a chick flick or romantic movies. However we are trying to portray romance, but in a mysterious and thrilling way, thus the renaming of the film title.
Besides discussing plans for editting and renaming, we also did our foleys and sound design today. Can’t wait to see the end product!
I think the experience for this film is really good. I’ve learnt a lot about effects and how green screen is being put to use. I do admit using green screen is tough for the actor/actresses to just use their imaignation to act without any background, which seemed kind of weird. And for that, I have to express my gratitude to my wonderful actror and actresses; Moe, Linn, Atiqah, and Katini.
Being an assistant director, I had to work closely with the director during the production in order to achieve the picture he had in mind. Mostly, I assisted the actor and actresses in their portrayal of characters. Since there were minimal dialogue, I had to focus more on facial expression and body language. I have to be able to also act the actions out and I truly enjoyed it! Acting has always been fun and putting character into the cast is really a great experience. I can’t wait to direct more films!
This film wouldn’t have been possible with the help of the other crew of this production (SIXTH SENSE PRODUCTIONS!) - Aung, Katini, Mas and Poy. Thank you all!
