19 March - 8 April 2009

I confess to having been rather slack on reflections recently and have hence forgotten the exact dates of happenings, and the exact order of such happenings, during the pre-production of our intellectual property video. However, I can reflect on the process nonetheless.

Firstly, it was inefficient. I took several days to write a script and to produce a storyline. The maddening thing was how to create a 30 second film without making it a police commercial. However, that's how I started off. I had no other ideas, so I crafted a film wherein sinister examples of copyright infringement would be followed by a police chase, and then a clip of the infringer in jail (with big blood dripping letters saying 'Do not infringe intellectual property rights', or something like that). The shot list, and other parts of the script, did not move well. However, I was quite pleased with the script that I managed to come up with.

I think that it is important also to note that I am also very pleased with Shun's script, and the originality displayed in that script. So I plan to work with him on that.
