Wong Kar Wai 2

25th May, 09

Today, we have our groups sorted for out Wong Kar Wai film. Joyces script was chosen to be filmed. She also chose the people in her group, Me, Jingting and Chris Checketts.

Ms Wong wanted us to do our film in madarin, so I have started translating the script into chinese. It was very challenging because I had to keep translating colloquial english into colloqial madarin which is very very different from colloquial cantonese, the language that i usually think in. Though it's hard, I agreed to take the job of translating because I had the advantage of having mandarin being my first language.

For the rest of the language, I was occupied with the job of translation, Joyce and Jingting planned the shots and planned the schedule and Chris continued with the story board that Joyce haven't got time to fininsh during the test.

Problems/ Difficulties:
- To be honest, Chris has not been very helpful to us. He only managed to plan 4 shots during the whole lesson when Jingting and Joyce mangaged to type out a complete schedule and I have managed to translate half the script. He has been spending most of the time chatting with people of other groups, and it was very frustrating.

IB learner profiles:
-Risk takers: we agreed to take on the challenge of filming in madarin, a feat that none has ever accomplished before in CIS. I felt very proud and happy to be able to be one of the first who ever did this in CIS.
-Communicators: We were using different languages in our film
