Day 4 "Do you believe in God? Written on the bullet"

Today, yesterday rather, we went to class. We proceeded into a different classroom as our Wahidah noticed that a certain facility in the other room blocked some of our views of the screen.


Today Mr.Ronald's class joined us, however, since he had something important to attend to, Mr.Alan was there instead.


When everyone had settled down, Wahidah showed us some more DVDs. One was a documentary about a family, the other was "Bowling for Collumbine".


I saw "Bowling for Collumbine" before but never finished watching it; but i do have a certain amount of compassion for those who were murdered. I have read a bibliography about one of the victims in the tragedy, her name is Rachel; today's blog title is part of a song written and produced by flyleaf titled "cassie"; the song was wtitten in tribute to another girl - cassie.

Wahidah told us to get into our respective groups and assign roles to each member. At the beginning of this project, our group agreed on not assigning roles. But since Wahidah insisted, we had to do it. Ha. We did eventually agree since someone had to be accountable to something.

Group Leader : Marge
Scribe: Marge and Joel, Nat and I are also taking down some notes.
Equipment: Joel
Software Application: Natalya and Kezia

We decided to give our group a name! "Press To Exit". The idea behind the name was as such. We were looking around the room for some scope of idea of a name. Marge who happened to gaze at 12 o clock saw the exit button. That was what we finally decided on. Our vision was, we want to destress people, by looking at our videos, we bring them out of that zone into perpetual entertainment out of the imposing world of reality.

We decided to go with a Mr and Mrs.Smith concept. Instead of a psychiatrist, we have decided to personify our camera as an interviewer; it will take life in the form of a voice over. Our answers will describe a module.



I was bored. And idea-less. With itchy fingers, so I decided to dwell in Tim Burton's world of fantastic fantasies (like Johnny Depp) and draw caricatures of Marge and I.
Later I story-boarded our plan.

We will continue on our planning on Friday, meeting early in the morning as we have a class outing in the afternoon.
