unexpected friendship

This is where it all started, the friendship, the bond and the closeness we never imagine on the first day of school. One day we have given a project for our finals in our ITAPPS subject were we should create a video showcasing our school or a school commercial. We form groups compose of 14 persons and plan for our project and this is where it all started.

first shoot

At first, we were calculating each other’s potential, our strengths and weaknesses, to distribute fairly a certain task to everybody. We are in our first shooting in that photo above and there is so much memory we hold in just a day we started our project. On the first day of the shoot we are all laughing, because of awkwardness in acting in front of a camera, we are good in selfies but not in moving images thou.

When thing s get so smooth in our shoots, our schedule gets hectic due to exams we have in our major and minor subjects. We struggle to manage our time in setting our next shoot. There are times where we do many scenes in a day and laugh out loud when reviewing the scene. We also have that moment where we have more time in doing nonsense stuff than do our scene and we later realize we have no time to shoot anymore. Time management was really our enemy in doing our project and also we need to study for some exams we have especially in our majors.

library scene

In this library scene, we are all struggling to minimize our voices because we are all laughing because some of our group mates it was their first time to enter the library and it was not for studying purposes but for the sake of the shoot thou, and we were all laughing. We’ve done many scenes here in the library and because we shoot many scenes our next scene was shoot weeks after that.

There was also a certain scene where we use a comfort room as our venue or a place to shoot and that scene is the bully scene, we were all inside the comfort room and practicing our parts in the bully scene, we were so in character that we almost really hurt each other and we were all again laughed out loud, we can be all actors if we did not take accountancy as a course in that moment thou. And in this bully scene, you can really see how dedicated our main lead here in her character and again we laugh out loud.

screen shot (family day video)

In this scene where we attended the annual family day, we take the opportunity to capture this moment and to include this in our video. This scene is really pure joy and happiness, everything that was captured by the camera was really a real feeling and not an act. And also in this scene our bond as a group was made strong, our closeness was made deeper because of this certain scene. We enjoy that whole day having fun, doing funny stuff, and taking pictures to include in the video.

Memers HAHAHA

As we edit our video and preparing to post it publicly in our social media, we again gather to brainstorm for our captions and catchy tag lines to attract more views and likes in our video and post. The funny part, here again, was when we create memes and put funny and relatable captions. We use our skills in art and being a tech-savvy to produce pictures and captions in attracting more interactions on our social media page.
As we reach the end of our task, we’ve learned to really appreciate the friendship we’ve created through this project. We build not just connection but relationship that even we finish our project we can say that we were still that close after we go back in our normal life. Funny and memorable moments that we create will always be in our life and journey in our college days.

the mistress HAHAHA

The photo above is not part of our video, we were in the rooftop of our school when we shoot this one and the other photos we use to post in our individual social media account as our profile pictures. We also did our group photo in the rooftop. As we finish our shoot and picture taking to be used in our project, we started to have some fun, do fun shots and tease each other. We acted like kids in this time, for a moment we forgot that we were in college. We just enjoy and cherish every moment while creating our project because through this we managed to really get to know each and everyone in our groups. Our project ended but the friendship we create through this will always be there.

We reach our goal and that is to create an interesting video that shows the uniqueness of our school and how we create family inside the campus. As the end appears and our project ends we learn things that we never imagine we could be like that, and that is the openness of every one to each other. Creating memories as part of the journey but the realizations and experience were really overwhelming that we will always carry in our lives. Now got each other back, we can now tease others without awkwardness or hesitating that we might offend each other. We can freely talk and shares each others hilarious encounter with someone.

The End

Our story ended with an open ending, the camera will always roll in our journey in college until we graduate. We start with awkwardness and ends with an openness of oneself to each other. The comfort we have with each other will always be there within us. We create family not just friendship. We thank everyone who supported us and guided us in this journey especially our adviser. This is not the end but the start of something much greater and exciting story we have.
