Reflections

Adib's Reflection

I find that this year's literature project is really meaningful . I got to interact with my friends more and completed the project with a smile . Even despite my absences for 2 weeks , i still managed to help out in the project . I feel that we could have done a better job with more time provided. I hope there will be more of these projects as it is extremely meaningful .

Kai Hui's Reflection

I felt that this project is very enjoyable and fun to do . It is not a written examination and different from the usual. This project improved our acting skills and enhanced my interest for literature.

Harwinder's Reflection

I did this project with people that I have never worked with before . Now i know that going out of your comfort zone is fun . I really did enjoy working with group members and hopefully we have done a good job.

Yong Hao's Reflection


I love the literature project as it gives me the chance to bond even further with my friends. It was also tons of fun but there were complications too.
SOMEONE had to go to tuition on the day we met up so he had to go home. We then had to do the rest of the project on a different day. We had to rush it on that day, but I thought we did a good job overall

Jovan's Reflection

I think that the literature project is extremely worth our time and we should have more of such events as it is not only meaningful but i think our entire class would enjoy such a project , it will bring us closer . The project will let us learn more about movie making skills and the effort it takes to do so . Despite working with one person that is new , i think we did a good job overall.

1 scenario and why you chosed it .

The scenario we chosed was no .3 

3.The protaganist is being left out in his 'clique' due to his annoyance . Everyone treat him as a pest , including his lovely parents . He is being hated everywhere he go , until he visited a councillor that changed his life. 

Reasons? 

1. We find it very common in Singapore and re enacting it would show what few singaporeans might face currently in their life . It will also show them the solution to such struggles and how they should face them . 

2. The scenario we chosed is suitable as the destination we filmed and the script we wrote are very similar to a place that we could film at. 

3. This scenario is the best compared to the rest. Its simplicity and that fact that it brings alot of meaning is good . And unlike the rest which aren't realistic .

5 Scenarios

5 Scenarios

1. Impersonating a MP ( Member of Parliment ) going to interview houses , asking about their struggles . The   people that get interviewed will then tell the problems , resulting in a flashback of their problems.

2.The protaganist plays too much computer games , he no longer has a social life and is being hated in school by several people . He was confused and frustrated . He confessed his addiction and tried to kick his addiction and turned over a new leaf.

3.The protaganist is being left out in his 'clique' due to his annoyance . Everyone treat him as a pest , including his lovely parents . He is being hated everywhere he go , until he visited a councillor that changed his life. 

4.Being under heavy influence to join a gang , the protaganist is stuck in a dilemma , either he lose all his current friend and gain a few gangster friends or just stick with his friends . He chosed to join the gang . His life went haywired and eventually , he is struglling with life.

5. The protaganist is an 'emo' . He doesn't socialise and is being discriminated by his class mate for being 'emo' . He has no friends and eventually seeks the help of councillors for advice and explains his struggle

Soon , Harwinder decided that he needs to consult his parents about this as he is really lonely and has no one to talk to in class. 

He heads home and finds his Father , watching Television 

Harwinder : Hey Dad ?

Kai Hui : What do you want? Im really busy right now . (sighs)

Kai Hui : Need money again? ( deep sigh )

Harwinder : No!  My friend don't want to talk to me 

Kai Hui : Please go away ! DON'T DISTURB ME!!!! ( shouts at him )

He needed to find the counsellor 

He heads to the conselling room and open its door . 

Yong Hao : Are you in need of my services? ( Don't think dirty )

Harwinder : I have to admit , i am being hated in my class after a heated argument .

Yong hao takes out some books and start reading looking for answers 

Yong Hao : Well , stick and stones may break your bones but words may never hurt you 

Harwinder : I get it now , Thanks !!!
