Blog on my Final project - Documentary on Game ‘’lost twins’’ by Playdew / weRplay.
I am making a documentary on an game development company named We.R.Play. I wanted to make something different like documenting our new technology our future. Our future is digital. I wanted to show different site of technology through digital art pieces and show our audience and fresh grads and students how gaming and digital art work is being done in professional sector nowadays and how Pakistan is attaining good position in this sector, and showing the world the positive image of Pakistan in front of World negative perceptions, and show their great works/ masterpieces.
I am making documentary on the making of their upcoming project i.e, game named Lost Twins 2 which is launching very soon. As our university is also teaching this course as BS. gaming degree I really heard about this and found it interesting I searched professional sectors working in this field I found this office I mailed them discussed in detail that it’s my university project. As the C.E.O was well aware of our university and knew our director sir Rehan Hassan. This became in favor of me and he was kind enough to give me a permission and give me a go ahead. Assigned me a girl who was the head of the office to deal with me throughout.
I researched more and with the help of them I decided to make a documentary in one of their upcoming projects. For that I discussed these ides with my university’s supervisor. He gave me new ideas to improve, add and polished my skills and told me to approve this idea from our departments director so that we can start working on this. I went discussed and he approved my idea and from the same week I researched more made questionnaire for my interviews as said by my supervisor that firstly before making storyboard you have to take all the interviews. I made questionnaire and shared with the office head who as in contact with me I asked us the date for me to come to take the interviews she told me a certain date I took all the interviews on that day. Interviews took almost 3 days. After interviews, I started making my storyboard and heard interview again and again which made it easier for me to be creative with the visuals what to shoot behind the interview how to relate. As this helped me in making story board.
After showing some of my interviews to sir he noticed some voice issues and asked me to reshoot 2 of my interviews and I did the same. After 2-3 days of this shoot according to my plan I started to do my post production work.
This project was indeed a learning experience in comes to everything i.e, research, storyboard, direction, camera work, editing from pre-production to post production, interaction with office professional staff in knowing them and their work. Office and university played a great role in cooperating with me throughout, even university was kind enough to issue to the studio equipment’s which I needed.
