Ah Hock Done!

Finally, our group has completed the semester project and our very first virgin short film: "48 - Ah Hock"

However, it seems like everything looks ok after the First Cut but the more we look at the Final Cut, the more flaws I find in our short film. I wonder if most directors feel that way to their films, be it a short of a feature length movie...hope i'm not the only one to feel this way.

After having spent more than 10 weeks at the film school at NP, i can't help but reflect on the words of friends who tried to dissuade me from furthering my studies in the course stating that it's a waste of time...

Question is: Did i learn anything in this semester?

In fact i think i did learn things here and there but more so in Film Directing and Film as Art. Technology as Film is so so...Screenwriting & Narrative Analysis are also medicore in teachings. BUT the best is i got to make my short film : )

What i hate most is the way the system is being established in our course. Unrealiable equipement and snail-paced hardware, crazy admin guidelines, ridiculous schedules and deadlines are simply driving us crazy especially to Producers and Directors.

I wonder if there are any serious plannings and considerations when the course come up with the semester schedules. *sigh
