Sarah Kushairi's 'Jo oh Jo!'

Here it is, my first debut film. The one that won second place in the Ramadhan Short Movie Competition organized by the Creative and Multimedia Club CFS IIUM. The only girl who won a placing out of 6 people. I'm not being vain. It's unexpected really, getting a second place. To actually secure the Top 3 placings.Unbelievable! Arienatsuno! You name it. The movie's not that good anyway. I mean, it is OK. But I couldn't compare it with the other movies made by the other groups (of which I haven't watched those movies made by them)

The script is written by me. My friend and assistant director-Syau wrote the dialogues between her and Fizah and she wrote all the Korean terms and dialogues in the movie. I dunno Korean. Japanese tahula sikit-sikit. LOL.
I'm the director, the cameraman camera lady LOL, the editor, the producer.

Things to look for
1) Sarah Kushairi's obsessions and infatuations towards Matsumoto Jun and Arashi is seen throughout the movie.
a. The laptop( wallpaper of Arashi)
b. Arashi insert songs( 'Hero' and 'Truth')
c. My handphone with Matsumoto Jun's phone chain dangling from it. Of course, you couldn't see it. :P

2) The moments where Solehah and Syidah had forgotten some of their lines but managed to cover them up.
a. The ifthar scene
b. The sahur scene

3) You would notice that the camera's shaking sometimes. Wanna know the reason why? The cameraman/director/yours truly was trying to suppress her laughters. LOL. Very unprofessional of her.

4) The first scene of the movie is actually the final scene that we shot (The one where Jo asked what is fasting)
5) We shot the sahur scene during the time when maghrib's approaching and thus you can hear the sound of a man reciting al-Quran from the mosque nearby.
6) And lots of things that happened during the filming.
7) In conclusion, filming the movie required lots of works and times and at the same time, it was FUN!




P/S. Sorry coz I can't make it any bigger. It took a really long time to upload this video. The same goes when I tried uploading it to youtube.

And sorry if this video doesn't meet your expectations. It's my first movie, I used an ordinary Olympus Digital Camera and I edited this movie by just using Windows Movie Maker Windows XP Edition, LOL.
And please excuse the sound of the camera clicks that can be heard occasionally.
Oh yeah, that I'm just an amateur so-called filmmaker XD
