Alex is back with Day 2 and Day 3 entries!

Okay, it's day 3 of the block, and i've felt more relaxed than ever because i have finally finished my 2D Fund work at long last. Then i can just concentrate on my P1.

Yesterday, which was day 2, alphie actually started the topic on why we have to do research. And then we were led on to discuss about a TV drama serial that had aired on local television recently. Seriously, i then realise how important research is. No matter toward the client or yourself, the planner, research is forever important. If you don't do research on stuffs you don't know, you can't do anything out of your own means at all. Then you will end up not being able to keep on improving yourself. So in conclusion, research is like taking in knowledge of a subject, and you learn along the way.

For today, day 3. We had Mr Victric Thng with us for a whole morning, and his videos were quite moody, that's what i really think. And also some parts either made me bored, or half bored half listening. But it always leaves my mind in a "cool" state. Like stunned. Or, "What happened?" kind of thinking. His short talk gave me more insight about how the film industry was, and how he actually "started" out into a film maker. I realise many things are given to people sometimes. Just like Victric, he was given the gift to direct films.

After the session with Victric, we had a short break before a short lesson, and then we watched Eternal Sunshine On a Spotless Mind. It was a movie recommended by alphie to watch, because he says it combines the plot and the software together. This movie is really great, and i also recommend you all to go have a look at it too. It's in the library. The message was kinda strong too, and of course now it left a deep impression onto my mind already. I hope we can watch more of these films to widen our knowledge of the film industry.

Lastly, i'm still not having any idea on the first exercise. So i guess i'd have to work harder...
