Internship weekly dose~!

Finally I'm done with my first week of internship! I still have another 3 months and a half to go =)

This first week has been pretty eventful. Nothing much happen during our first day. The assistant producer brought us to the editing room to take a look on things. When we are back in our main office, we are roughly brief on the current projects, system of the company and all other related stuff. There are currently two projects (TVCs) that are in their final pre-production stage and another one (informercial) is coming up some time next week too. There will be 3 shooting altogether in the following week.

Currently, most of our work revolve around paperwork as in helping out our colleagues by typing word documents, doing slides, ah...you know...those office work stuff.

Second day was much interesting than the first. Know why? The chosen costumes did not match the director's imagination, therefore have to change the costume. And there was a final pre production meeting with the client the next day. So...everything has to be done on that night itself. And there's a lot of things that are undone which is why we have to stay back and help out. Due to that we get to eat free pizza. Boss belanja. It was 4.30am when we finished up everything.

The next day, we were allowed to arrive a little later than the usual working time. We were told that we can arrive after lunch...but not nice la. So we came a lil earlier...just in case.

Then we have a second meeting to discuss on how the whole scene is suppose to shoot, what do the talents wear, which talents, what kind of hairstyle, props. That is already the second meeting for these projects. We had the first during our first day. We didnt know we are involve though...until they asked us to join them.

The following day, we had another interesting event going on which is casting. During this time, we have to take photos and video of the talents. That completed, we are to ask the talents to change in the require clothes and again take photos. The photos and videos are then to be stored in the computer for the director to select the most appropriate cast. The talents this time are all kids. Some cute cute 1, some shy shy but some...fuiyoh..got attitude one le. Attitude as in like those kind of celebrity style. Dont play play.

Yesterday was considered most relaxing day as there was nothing much to do. Ah yes, we had our third meeting for the week. Yup the 3rd meeting mind you.

Anyway...it was pretty fun la. The people are nice. They joke around and when it comes to work, they are all very serious. There are two colleagues who dont really eat. They can go on working long hours without eating. During this whole week i only saw them eating twice. The rest of the time they are just staring at the computer, answering calls and writing stuff. I really salute them.

And....... i just got my paycheck today! Well...i didnt expect my boss to pay me soooo soon. Or should i say i wasnt expecting my boss to pay me for this week of work. I was expecting the salary to come next month instead. Oh well...i'm happy! At least it's better than nothing.

My working time is suppose to be from 10 - 7pm. But currently this week, all of us have OTs. The time is juggle between 9-ish or 10-ish before we are allowed to go home. Currently we cant go home unless our work is done or our boss says so.

Next week we have three shooting altogether. The timing will be entirely different. I only hope i dont mess up and give trouble to others or be in their way.
