A change in execution...

Year 3 Sem A was over, project planning was reviewed and graded. After much consideration, analysis, consultation, plus a surge of intuition, the previous idea of making a live action documentary was discarded.

Reasons being:
1. It's way too difficult to execute.
Think about that. Actors, narrator, setting, props, costumes, etc...For an individual project, making a short film might be possible, but I'm talking about a full-length film (close to an hour), and the setting of the story is in the late 19th century!

2. The fire has resided.
This has direct link with the 1st reason. I admit it is way too stressful for me to coordinate such a large scale project. The passion in me to do this film is disappearing day by day. My initial dream of achieving a high quality documentary film seemed too far-fetched based on the skills I have now.

3. Seemed kinda fishy...
This should be a film about the history of Kapitan Yap Ah Loy. I am no historian, I can never be sure of the authenticity of the sources I found. Making a historic film based on sources which might not be genuine will kill the purpose of my project. Furthermore, this film should tell the audience about facts. Branching storyline could be misleading for the audience, and most decision points I planned, according to Sweii, is insignificant. "Made a choice = Did not make a choice". Now I wonder why I made this film an interactive storytelling project...hmm...

Well, all can be done is done. I rather work harder, sleep less (and play less games *sob*) to produce a final project which I can be proud of rather than continue on a project which I don't feel like I can achieve.

New idea for the execution of the project is coming up! This time, I'm gonna make it happen!
