20th April 2014 :

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.

Comments: Trying to get to all of the locations in such a restricted amount of time was very tiring but I guess that's just how shootings/filming work. 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.

3rd March 2014 : 

  • Went to Kmas Production house with Bibi and Farah for another voice over
  • Video editing with Panji who is a video editor, found out my group and I were short of required duration per episode by 13 minutes. So to lengthen the episode - the only solution was to 1) add more voice over. For the voice over, we decided to add more informations toward the contents in the script. We explained and described the contents in detailed. (It was on animals, plants and brief history on Agro Tech park as well as its future plans) 2) We planned to add more time for the interview segment. 3) Add more inserts
4th March 2014 :

  • Continued filming due to short of required per episode duration (supposedly 30 mins give or take)
  • Arrived at Agro Park with the crew members
  • Since it was a last minute plan which was planned the day before, our solution for supporting characters turned out to be our own colleagues who were free at that time from Universiti Brunei Darussalam as that was the fastest way to get people to be interviewed in the video
  • 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.
5th March 2014 :

  • My group and I sat by the video editor - Panji while he edits the video
