Man I'm tired.
Been out whole day helping my neighbour and her tutorial groupmates doing none other than
*Dum dum dum drumrolls~*
Filming!
For some reason unbeknown to me, I was approached to be the male lead for a short film that will be presented as an assignment for one of the subjects in their course.
I didn't even have any idea I was supposed to be the lead, until I had the actual script sitting in my hands....... and the rest, is history.
The basic gist of my role?
Small time gangster/killer under the employment of a loan shark who sends me to find and kill a girl named Jade, whom I'm supposed to flush out by getting close to her sister Kim~
Simple enough, but wait!
The plot as they say, thickens~
The story has me(John) being portrayed as Kim's loving boyfriend who is at first semi reluctant on the idea of offing his girlfriend's twin sister, until he finds out the numerous threatening letters he's been receiving have to do with the high and doped sister. In the final scene where he confronts Jade.......
Surprise surprise,
Jade and Kim are actually one and the same~
Turns out that Kim wanted revenge for John raping Kim years back, destroying her life and turning her to the desolate life of drugs and alcohol.
I think it's sufficient enough to tell you that I'll be doing the *I'm gonna be murdered* sometime either tomorrow or the day after that.
You can guess how the story ends~
=P
Anyways, turns out filming in itself is quite a feat.
First there's the makeup involved before you can even start rolling any tape.
Thankfully, I even had my own personal *cough cough hot cough cough* makeup artist to apply whatever it is that's needed to make my lame face look photogenic.
Then I got my personal hairstylist who not only styles my hair, but also gives me advice on how to keep it looking that way in the event of his absence. =P
Let's not forget the witty and interesting female lead actor, Rachel, who for some reason, just can't stop looking at the camera lens. ^^
Then we have our cameramen(or women) who spends eons, meticulously positioning the camera for a few seconds of short footage.
You'd never guess it takes an hour to get less than a minutes worth of footage, or maybe you already knew that, and I'm the only one who was mildly surprised at how things works.
Anywayyssssssssss,
My bedbug is biting me hard on the toe and demanding I hit the sack, so I'll be the slacker I am and save the rest for next time.
Jya~
