Alright, honestly I’m not a blog person and I’m only opening this blog for the sake of advanced visual class :P haha but I’m sure I’ll soon love blog-ging. I don\'t think any one\'s going to read my blog expect you, my lecturer. Yup if there\'s anyone one else reading this and is like wonder "what is she talking about?" our task is to write our opinions and reflections of the class so I shall try my best to do that at least once a week at the starting of the blog entry so you don\'t have to read the rest of the random stuff that i might add in. haha.
But I’m really impressed as a lecture would care so much about their students till he would ask them to create blogs so that he can know if they\'re in line and get to know and understand one another better. It’s touching. Especially when I had my fair share of emotional, extremely expressive and colourful lecturers in The One -.-
My Reflections of Class
I learnt that visual equal’s presentation. It like a form of communication as when you have an idea then you want to share it with others so you come out with a visual so they can see and understand better. There are two types of visual; visual or verbal narration.
Mass media is handled by agencies and print media is handled by production houses.
To find visual references online, one should type "storyboard" or "presentation graphic".
Concept board has lots of elements, single frame storyboard is your visual, storyboards contains key frames only, shooting boards/ production boards is a guide on how to shoot the right angle, zoom in at which part and has no colour and lastly animatic board which i forgot what\'s that. Sorry!
Anyways, I feel that your teaching method is very interesting! It was the first time we ever did anything like that. It feels good to do something so different then just 1st day of class then refer to reference and etc. And you called us visualizers! I remember you said “okay, visualizers write your name down below your sketch”. Hehe we all went crazy. Jakun us. Anyways that’s all that I have to say about class for now :D
Hectic Week
First of all, I want to say the world is ending soon as we’re all practically melting -.- its so darn hot. When I walk to college, I feel like a hard boiled egg. Arghh…
Anyways, before I begin my story let me give you a rough idea what happened before this week, I went shopping with Rachel at pyramid and got broke again! The last time I used up my computer money during my last shopping spree and then this round I used my surviving for the week money. Thank God my mum gave me more cause I had to print lots of stuff for class. Oh ya, my desktop is spoiled so waiting for Godash to be free and well enough to open up my comp and check what motherboard I need. So I’ve been using my brother’s laptop all this while. Connection has been dead lately too. Yea, no 2moons for me cause my bro’s laptop no memory to install the new update. Thought wanted to reach level 80 at least at the end of the hols. *sigh* At least I have a new game to play and Godash likes it too! COD4!
Monday :
Chill and prepare for 1st day of class. Wanted to sleep early but went out to play COD4 with Godash. Such an addictive game! I’m lvl 25 now.
Tues:
Advanced Advertising Class, lecturer was really nice. He’s so cool. I really loved the part where he showed us a picture of his trophies and ask us if we believe if its gold trophies then of course we believe him then he said no la, its yellow filter. Hahaha what a down to earth lecturer. It nice to have a nice advertising lecturer again! But we don’t know how he’ll be when it comes to work yet though. Anyways, I was just ranting to my dad about how cool Kins Lee is, cool right the name? then after yacking for quite some time, my dad says he knows who he is. His sister works as a senior graphic designer for my dad. What a small world! Plus I wore my orange long indian skirt with a black spaghetti top and bumped into my junior in front of the audi and he asked me “why you wear like that?” -.- grrr….
Wed:
Visual Class was cool and different and I was on timeeeeeeeee! What an achievement! Visualizer me :P
Thrus:
Watch Narnia : Prince of Caspian with Godash. Awesome show. Wanted to watch speed racer or iron man but I saw the wrong newspaper so the closest show was that and luckily, It turn out really good. Much much better than the 1st one. Animation to my standards is impressive! Then after the movie. we were deciding if we should go back cause we’re both not well or play the very tempting COD4 after much thought we decided to go back. Good thing we went back cause my babies haven’t eaten yet! After feeding them, kor called and say “DOTA moh?” Hehe ate panadols and went and play 3 rounds of dota and 2 hours I think of COD4. I actually killed most and got top for one round! haha even beat Godash! In between all that, Daddy messaged me to remind me that I have to do the lcd projection slides for Dr. Paul Tan’s seminar at church on Friday night and Saturday. So had to message Cam and tell her to find a replacement for me on Friday night youth as I was supposed to do the ice breaker. Felt so bad :/
Friday:
Final preparation for sat class. Printed some stuff and gossiped with William at his print shop for awhile while waiting for my print to be printed out and he showed me show of his photographs which he took for weddings. He can hold up to 1/15 O.O Later at night I had to do the seminar till 11 p.m. He taught us on the book of Isaiah 40. It was interesting but honestly, I was a bit bored. He talks quite slowly :/ at least he did up his slides really well.
Sat:
Went for class. Was early as well! Lec came in half an hour after that. Haha he brought indo café this term. He’s temper wasn’t so bad this round. During class, he said that he promised himself not to get pissed off. Hahaha. Showed my work to him and he said okay just need a bit of changes while he ate his kit kat. Really proud of myself for preparing my work before hand and organizing myself! I went put them all in a clear plastic bag and taped the end! Both stationeries and corporate identity handbook! Brought my research folder and all too! Will email him my work later after this. Was melting so went to MG with tracy and rain to discuss about our work and ate vegetarian asam laksa and drank his wear spicy aloe vera drink that’s supposed to help u detox and lose weight, shared that with Tracy -.- we’re such suckers. Lucky class ended early so went home to take a really cold shower and change to shorts and shirts for paul tan’s seminar. 3pm to 10pm. Lucky, Swee Yoong came to relieve me! Godash and my family went to Curry Fish Head at SS15 to celebrate Kor’s straight A’s! Haha sadly I only got straight B’s but I really proud and happy for him :D my overachiever big brother! Went home, then Godash suddenly came really really sick. So we rested while I prepare Sunday service slides. More than usual cause agape program is still down. So I sponged him with ice water for an hour once I was done. Then he felt better and watch you tube while I rest. Haha.
Sunday (today):
After church, we all went to MCD cause they were like having his mega big mac and if you buy large you get a coupon which entitles you a chance to get a big mac free if you say MCD’s big mac ingredients in 4sec! Kor and Rachel succeed all tries and got free big mac coupons! I think Godash took videos. Haha the judge was so cool. She could do if really fast in 2sec and super clear. When I got home, I cleared my thumbdrive abit cause filled it up with LCD church stuff cause Reuben’s gonna reformat the pc, then the lap top got full so have to delete some old files and clear my DSLR cause Fatt kor is going Japan with Ah Han for holiday and wants to borrow it and is came over just now to collect it. Took an hour nap and placed this cool gel pad thingie on my forehead cause opened it up for Godash yesterday night but it was cold enough so made an ice bag for him instead. Woke up ate bit of pan mee which mum bought for me and feed my babies then went to church to help out in the Vietnamese service cause the person that usually does the LCD isn’t free. So I volunteer to go even though I was quite tired but the best part is, when I got there everything was working fine cause there was this kuai loh who could handle it all so I could go back so here I am! I think God just wanted to test me if my heart was right only. Thank God! Godash just came over not long ago just to drop by before football, wanted to go with him but he said never mind la I finish my blog and email my lec then after that we go for supper. We’re both feeling better alright. Don’t think its denggi anymore.
