Director Journal 12 - Screening Night Review

Screening night was an amazing night! The aim of the screening night is to that night. However, without an awesome director there won't be an nice video! The directors of these production video are Ariff, Hisyam, Shinno, Liew, Syazwan, Danny and more. It's not easy publish the production video that done by the students who are taking art of filming and television production at department of media studies. There are 14 videos had been projected on to conduct a team for shooting but its worth when we saw our work projected on the big screen.



Our theme for the screening night is “Vintage and Tie Bow” therefore we dressed up and styled ourselves with vintage outfit.

Everyone look gorgeous!!
The best outfit for male - Augustin

The best outfit for female - Mia

 The dinner started with the show reel of the screening night. The show reel is a sample of the videos edited together to show footage of the videos that produce by us. The show reel brings out the feeling of energetic and lively which make a good start for the dinner.



After the show reel, the 14 production videos started to project on the big screen. Before the video started to project, there was an introduction to the director and the favorite quote of the director. One of the quotes that I like the most is the Shinno’s quote – “ Pemulaan adalah bermula sekarang”.  I think the class of art of film is a good start for us to let us explore in film production.


Among the all of the production, the production that I impressed me the most is “ Inspektor Petonah”.  The good composition of the video creates a strong visual effect which attracted audience. The director uses a lot of symmetrical shot which lead to a striking scene. 
The director of "Inspektor Petonah" use a lot of symmetrical shot which is similar like the picture above. 

Besides that, the director uses a lot of comedy elements in the video and the make the audience laughing so much.


Of course, the short film “ ZAHIRAH” also became one of my favorite video. Although the duration of the short film is around 2 minutes but the unexpected ending makes the audience curious about what’s next scene going to happen. ZAHIRAH is a good short film and it leaving room for our imagination.

Lastly, I really like the epilogue! The epilogue is the piece of writing by Prof Azizah at the end of a work of literature, it bring closure to the work. The director using vintage color correction to edit the video. The costume and the scene bring our memory back to 80s and it really suit with the dinner’s theme. That is why I like the epilogue so much.


I really enjoyed the night and learned a lot through watching the film production of the other groups. It is a nice experience for me.
