My Unforgettable Experience - Creating a Short Movie

Hoahm...a tired day, I just went home and then opened my computer to write this posting. It is a lovely day, because today teachers were meeting so in this Saturday all the student can go home earlier.

Hmm I have an interesting story. This is about my unforgettable experience when I got an assignment from my English Teacher, Miss Desy, to create a short movie. That assignment was doing by the group and my groups are Fauzan, Adam, Ubay, Manda, Erza, Meva, me, Hana, Agis, and Prika. She gave us this assignment since Ramadhan and to be collected at October 16th 2009.

Our movie is telling about the friendship. It told that Adam, Manda, and Ubay are schoolmates and also close friends from they were in the kindergarten until they were in the junior high school. But, they had to separate in the different high school because their result of national exam is impossibility to make them in the same school. Then, Ubay and Adam became a bad boy in his each school. After in high school for several months, Manda got sick and refer to the doctor diagnose she got leukimia. One day, Adam and Ubay were fighting because they love the same girl that is Manda. And when they were phisicly fighting in the street, Manda came. Manda trying to stop that fighting but suddenly she fell down, passed out and passed away. Since that incident, Adam and Ubay improved their friendship.

That is the resume, ok...it is the first time for us to make a short movie. We know nothing about that before but we tried to do it. The process of shooting is made me tired even though it's really the unforgettable experience.

As usual when we had given assignment, we delayed to do it because of many reason. One week left from the deadline, we just created the script. Then, we just had 4 days for shooting. I thought that would easy before because we just acting like a movie star and cameraman will take all the scenes, that’s it. But, as the matter of the fact it didn't happen like I imagine. Many of mistake that we made such as forgetting the dialog, laughing when took the scene, or some unexpected thing else. So we could take one scene repeatedly.

One day left...can you imagine that many of the scenes haven’t took yet mean while we have tto collect it in the tomorrow? Hmm...there is funny part scene, we need help from Syifa and Gita to be someone help Manda when she pass out, but they were over acting, we couldn’t avoid to laugh so this scene is taken repeatedly. The scene when Adam and Ubay were physically fighting is I like most. It’s taken in the night. Hmm...because it is the last day, we were shot until 11.30 a.m. and from that I knew shooting as not easy as I thought before.

Waw today should have been collect our assignment, but we hadn’t finished yet. Fortunatally, the other groups also same with us. From morning until afternoon, we edited the movie and finished, huah really happy... but when we burned it into the CD and........... IT’S FAILED and the edited movie was erased. MY GOD!!!!!!! Huh....ok, we tried again but it happened twice. Almost of us were very desperated. Suddenly, we got an idea to try the other way to burned the CD and It's successeful We were so happy because our effort wasn’t useless. Hmm that I remember, when we were editing the movie, suddenly the earthquake shook. Astagfirullah maybe it’s warning from Allah because we had left from Imtaq.

Finally, Saturday Morning we collect the movie to Miss Desy. There is a seminar with Prof. Yohanes Surya. The parents came to attend this seminar and some of movie were shown. But, our movie weren’t. We’re so dissapointed. But almost at all, I’m so happy and it is one of my unforgettable experience.

Hmm...maybe it’s enough, I have to sleep because I must join Mathematics Competition in 70 SHS.
I will try to do the best...hope that I get lucky for tomorrow.
