Week 1 Day 2 Fong Guo Wei

For Day 2 (yesterday), we brainstormed and finalized our ideas, one of which is as shot of a post-apocalypse environment, and the other, a shot of a hidden hideout in a staircase.

After which, I looked up on the breakdown of visual effects used in the movie "Forrest Grump" as suggested by my teammate, Samson. I learnt about how sets can be replaced simply by compositing different shots together, without relying too much on creating models of objects to be placed inside the set (which would be a more taxing and long-winded work). While researching, for mood shots and how apocalyptic films are shot to bring out the mood and effect of the devastated environment, I found out that a lot of such films are "night-scenes". This is hard because of the project requirements, and we're supposed to shoot day-scenes. However, it was not long after we found som, from Resident Evil 3: Extinction, Resident Evil 4: Afterlife and I Am Legend.

After which, some of my teammates went around to find suitable locations to shoot the shots. There were problems which we encounter with shadows and lightings, and how the perspective will be solved. The problem with shadows is solved by superimposing shadows of a separate shot. We're still in the midst of solving the other problems we encounter. Woo.
