what about internship

right... i should update something about my internship before the end of this month...


so what have i been doing throughout my whole week of internship in xuanworks...
first of all... its a very small company... with not more than 10 employees... so everybody is close and the bond between employees are very tight and hard to break... haha.. i guess... assuming...
i've got a table... although it's not really mine... but at least i get to sit with a computer in front of me...


we have 3 shootings scheduled next week so damn.. it's busy... i never get to go home on time... however no complains because i think its kinda worth it... at least i'm not like hanging around doing nothing... wasting my time...

what have i learnt???
i learnt how to change the color of clothes... which is very very useful when it comes to searching clothes for wardrobe... you'll never find the exact color you need... so what do you do??? change the color in photoshop... but do it after searching high and low on the internet because it's like cheating.... do it when you dont have a choice...

i recalled my very basic editing skills when i was editing the casting videos of talents.... it's kinda fun seeing them act and stuff... until i come to a pair of identical twins... oh my god... its so hard to differentiate and join their videos together because its hard to tell who is who... the best thing is their mom decided to dress them exactly the same during casting... oh great... just as if their face wasnt hard enough to differentiate... and now you have to dress them identically too????
i also saw a 10 year old girl who is as tall as me... gosh!!!! she is just 10!!!! i think she bump into the ceiling when she's 18...

what else??? oh ya... the wonders of a photostating machine... and also the scanner... we were required to photocopy like hundreds and thousands of stuff for the final pre-production presentation.... using up like 2 packets of paper... woohooo...

searching for maps... shooting locations... i now even can DRAW!!! i actually volunteered to draw the map to our location... wahahaha... i never ever imagined me volunteering to DRAW.... even straight lines...

besides... i have prepared storyboards... tranlated scripts... talking about translating.... i have to translate chemistery stuff as well... so thanks to the online dictionary... i can even confirm the names for stuff like bearberry essence... xxxxline.... xxxxic.... do you actually expect me to know or remember those terms???

then there are the powerpoint slides.... inserting pictures... cropping... adjusting.... converting....

brainstorm for ideas for a campaign... on the radio!!!! i have never been familiar to radio commercials... coz usually in assignments we'll usually opt out the 30sec radio commercial and focus on prints ads and tvc instead... so the lack of experience really matters a lot... i'm still blank... sigh~~~~

hmmm.... i guess that's all as far as i can remember....

next week will be a very very busy week as we have 3 shootings all scheduled next week.... wonder what will i become after this???? hopefully i can lose a few kgs.... that will be great.... but till now i dont think that's gonna happen coz i keep eating in the office.... hahahaha... it might just turn out the other way round as i will be gaining a few more kgs... Noooooooooo....


that's practically almost all of my first week of internship....


oh ya... my bi-weekly report... i almost forgot about that....

signing off~~~
