Not much to post here because what we did was the same as the week before. But anyways....

last week we went to the Peranakan Museum again. We did more filming, and improved the Wayang Kulit choreography for the song. Lyn brought more lights so it was easier to film in the dark, and we also managed to run through the whole thing and I think it was not bad and that we're almost ready.
Next week is the last lesson. I hope we can finished doing everything:P


We're leaving early from school and ms Kwok is buying lunch for us:D

We went to the Paranakan Museum on Wednesday. We were supposed to start filming and confirm all the stuff.

So anyways, we set up a temporary screen and practised the whole Wayang Kulit video. It was working quite well. The light stuff that Lyn brought were really nice and the Wayang Kulit figures were really well done too, although some of them didn't have heads, but still. Megan borrowed a really professional video camera for filming from the school and I found out that I was going to be the teacher in the video.


I think being the teacher is quite hard, because I have to act very non-smileyish. Which for me i think is kind of hard. But I hope I can do it properly...


We had a dry run a couple of times and we had a short reflection time after the session. We shared our thoughts on our progress and suggested some improvements and ideas that could be considered being added in into the video.


I feel that the progress is quite okay. It could be better, faster, but I think it’s an okay pace and that we'll be able to finish it and do a good job.

This is an extra post. Normally i would post once every week,but Ms Kwok asked me to do this post about the Gamelan performance during the Arts Education Forum.
So,during the Arts Education Forum, AEF,a few schools came to sota.One of them being Macpherson primary school.The students were around primary 3 or 4.
But back to the main point,it was the first time i heard Gamelan music. I thought it would sound really old and weird,but it was actually not that bad. It was really cool that those primary school kids could play the Gamelan music,because they were quite good at it and they seemed so interested in this area at such a young age. Most of the instuments they used were ....unique?I'm not sure how to describe it but there was this teacher who told me that we were very lucky to watch the performance because normally we wouldn't get to see the instruments they used as they were usually not brought out. So i think that it makes the instruments unique since they were not very common.
I don't have much to say,but i think i kinda like Gamelan music,its quite interesting and the students played it really nicely:)

Thats mostly what we did.i know this post is very short,but this is generally what we did so i hope its okay:)
here are some photos....
