Its been One Month at Homegrown Production

Seriously it's been one month, wow!! As time passes I got to learn some stuff.
Well, I will be updating the blog with the things that I do during my intern two weeks once. 

The stories of past weeks..
Well my usual job  or I would say it as my main job that I always do once I reach the office is to search on the news related to local entertainment. So these news that I find will be uploaded in the instagram, facebook and twitter page.

So, the other interns and I were assigned with new task. We need to come out with photo shoot ideas to promote the shows and the host. So all of us, we came out with ideas and presented the ideas to the creative director(CD). He liked the concept and ideas and he let us to proceed with the idea. It's exciting because I will be able to go through all the process which is pre production, production and post production.

Next, I help with Jom Wayang show twice for the audio (it is for two different episodes). This is what I learn when taking care of the audio,which is to be extra careful so that there wont be any noise from the outside. It is okay if shooting in the studio because of less sound but if outside got to stay alert.

Then again I help with the audio for KL TV, another show.
The next show that I went is Kaki Makan and finally I got a chance to shoot.
So, I used the canon 5D DSLR. It's a good experience because I don't really get the chance to do the camera stuff at college. So I'm really thankful to the whole crew who let and guide me during the shooting and also the producer who put faith on me. hehee

Finally I did research for another show known as Fakta Fakroll, basiclly I need to find out about the weird restaurant and food. So , I found this restaurant which is weird, one is New Lucky Restaurant in India and the other one is Dick's Last Resort.
Yup it's coffin in the restaurant (New Lucky Restaurant)

The reason it is weird is because of the Dick’s Last Resort is an American restaurant chain renowned for its obnoxious waiting staff. Patrons can expect to be insulted, made fun of and put in uncomfortable situations, all in the name of fun, of course.

Yup that's it for this two weeks.

First Two Weeks at Homegrown Production

Yea!! Its been about two weeks I'm doing intern at Homegrown Production. So let me share what I have been doing so far.
Short intro of Homegrown Production -they have  their own channel known as 'ec inspirasi' in Hyyp Tv. Some of their shows are Maharaja Lawak Mega, KL TV, Jom Wayang, Girls Only Show, and many more.

Well for the first week I was assigned to find news for their  'KL TV' Instagram and Twitter. And I also get to do little bit editing on the script, which has to be in Malay.
Then, I also assigned to find news on Sports for one of the show Kebaboom. I got to do outdoor shooting for vox pop which is interviewing public people. Which is fun cause it is my first outdoor shooting experience with the crew.

Then another responsibility given to me by one of the producer,  Ms Claire which is I'm supposed to be the 'Guardian of Wardrobe'. LOL!

So then we had shoot for one of the show Lawak Sentral, it's an advertisement for CNY and
I was the cast! Hahahaha
Woah..I did not expect that..but it was fun to be able to join in the ad.And my character name is Kavitha.. So probably it should be out during the CNY.

Next, once again I was pleasured to be out for the outdoor shooting for their show 'Kaki Makan'.
So I was in charge of the audio, so I get to know of the HN4 and also the Lapel. Below are the picture of how it looks. Ps: its from the Google

The first one is Lapel and the 2nd is the HN4



















Then I also got to play/learn with the DSLR. One of the Homegrown crew taught me on how to use the DSLR.  As I said the people here are really nice, so again I get free tutorial on how to edit by using the Final Cut Pro. Oh here are picture that I took during the shooting. By the way, we shoot at  Ali Muthu and Ah Hock Kopitiam.








































Yup thats it for now.. See ya

Internship!!

Wow, can't believe that I am final year student. Time pass so fast. So right now for Sem 6 we need to go for internship training. Basically we need to find which company that we want to go based on our interest. So I have always wanted to learn film making. Thus I had to looked for some company that does production.
Well, I found out few company which does production and so I send my resume to few of the companies such as : Astro, Media Prima, Red Communication and few more.
But I did not get any reply from them. So I had to called them, and what the person in-charge said was that I got to wait for few weeks. The thing is that I am late for my internship, supposingly I should start my intern on the 19th January but I did not get any feedback.

And so I waited....

Finally I got a reply from one of the company which is Homegrown Production.
I was extremely excited when I got reply from them. So, I was invited to go for their interview at the company. And is near Tropicana City.
I was pretty excited and at the same time I was having cold feet.
The interview went so casual, thanks to Mr.Kelvin who was my interviewer and he is also the Creative Director of Homegrown Production. Even though it was just an interview I got learn something from him at the particular moment. The best part is that he gave a yes! I can join the company to do my internship for about 3 months.
Immediately, I join the team the next day. The second thing I worried about was, if I will be able to have a good relationship with the the whole team because I am a bit introvert.
Guess what? The people there are so friendly and nice. It was my first day there and I got to learn lots of thing from them.I didn't really get to do hands on  but I got to hear lots of important thing that is related to the field.
I'm so excited to learn and to join the team!

So that's it for now.
