-ZAHIRAH MUSTAFA- (8th post)
Hi again. A retrospective entry on the making of second video for Macbeth project. I was so excited when we were assigned to do the second video in our own dialect, but some worries too, because i afraid if we can't do it very nice as we don't have so much time. We did the shooting quite early but the final process came a bit late because it was separated for two people- Zu did the editing and I did the subtitle part.
Hi again. A retrospective entry on the making of second video for Macbeth project. I was so excited when we were assigned to do the second video in our own dialect, but some worries too, because i afraid if we can't do it very nice as we don't have so much time. We did the shooting quite early but the final process came a bit late because it was separated for two people- Zu did the editing and I did the subtitle part.
This time I did the video with two different group members, Zulaikha and Farah; but Fatin Nabila, Nik, Nadiya are as always. Five of us are from east-cost and Farah is from Kedah. We decided to make it very traditional- we borrowed the Baju Melayus from the boys and used very Malay culture background music for the video. We have to make a video on the Banquet Scene where the ghost of Banquo appears.We name our new group as 'MEKBETH' because 'MEK' portrays the ladies from east cost.
About the characters, we gave Nadiya and Nik the main roles, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth; because we want to feature them as much as possible in the video and also, they both have the same Kelantanese dialect even though Nadiya is from Besut, Terengganu. The rest of us just play the supporting roles, we didn't have to speak much. Zulaikha plays the 1st Murderer, Farah as Banquo's ghost, Fatin as Lennox and I as Ross. As we didnt have so many lines to remembered, we helped Nadiya and Nik to translate their scripts. However, they both already did a great job by just saying the lines spontaneously.
Nadiya was very nervous at first, but she is really really outstanding in the middle of recording. Nik was excellent too by using 'exotic' Kelantanese words in her lines which i don't understand some of them. I praise Nadiya and Nik more because they plays difficult roles. The rest of us did well too. Farah as the the ghost of Banquo with Northern dialect splashed a little different in our video; and others are good as usual. Certainly.
But i feel regret and sad because i could not manage to finish the subtitle, as i experienced technical problem at last minute. However i feel a bit relief when the class enjoyed our simple video. :) Thank you Miss Dzeelfa and Rockers.
