Today I received a secret package. There are 3 things inside. One picture cutting out from a newspaper. One bag of some printed photos and one machanical watch.
Hmm… what do they mean? the picture indicates who is my next target; the photos shows some aspect of the life of my target; and the watch… alarm the time of execution.
but where is my weapon Q?
2:23 am. @ my room. Alright. Finished the very first rough draft of the film. Can’t say I m not discouraged by it. It came out exactly the way I imagined in my head. I may need to work on the angle and the continuity a bit more. But pretty much it did come out what I planned.
What is not working is really the story. And the way I m telling it. I admit it is not a solid story. My friend’s and my boss’s concern is right. And I m now finishing the film for the sake of finishing it. Not necessarily a bad thing. At least I treasure the learning process. I learned that what’s working and what’s not. My working altitude and hard work is correct. My vision maybe correct, that I need to hold it stronger next time. But my collaboration may not be right. Yes I do need other’s help and I do want team spirit. But IDEA has to be ONE. I could invite other’s contribution, but essentially that is my work. My idea. My film. My responsibility.

Finished my second draft. Its not THAT bad really. Besides the story and continuity as a whole, there are quite a lot of stuff I like in the film. After all, that’s really my first draft. Thanks to stephen: 好一句 “next project after this growth”. Yes, the next one will be better and is always better.
