Comments: There was again a delay in trying to cover two episodes in Tutong, as the camera crew weren't available. We had to push and confirm the next Thursday to make sure they were available. In the end, constant updates and communication is a must but no matter how early one plans to get an episode done, there are always things that get in the way like making sure if the crew are available and the 'tetamu undangan' or guest is also available on the day a shooting is planned to be held.

On the last day, we started shooting at half past 8 in the morning, rested for lunch and tried to finish everything before the 3 p.m boat ride we had to board on to get back to Brunei Muara from Temburong.

Also, I learned that expecting delays or shooting for the next recording can be put on hold because things will never always go as planned. I am only an intern and have zero to little experience in this field, but as of now, I understand that we can only plans and schedule things but changes is expected.

  • We also had the crew members themselves to pretend to be 'actors' in the video because we were short of people at the park at the time we were there. This was also used in insert footages.
