We Have Enough Rice!

Planting rice is never fun,

Bent from morn' till set of sun.

Cannot stand and cannot sit,

Cannot rest a little bit.

TEN hours was the amount of time it took us (Will, Ryan and me) all to complete the movie clip for our final ASE401 assignment. We began from 6 P.M. yesterday and finished it at 5 A.M. at Will's place. The first part of this assignment was rather fun to begin with; we simply loved the idea of using rice to showcase racial harmony. In fact, all we wanted to show our tutor - Dr. Mark Evan Nelson was our concept but he was quick to tell us to work on PRODUCTIVE DIVERSITY. What was that?

And so we worked on productive diversity; we had multiple meetings, gathered 70+ digital images, revised our script for umpteen times, and went back to our drawing board to finalise what message we wanted to showcase. We began to feel the toil of the rice farmers, really. Though we had the comfort of chairs and air-conditioned environment, we thought it was really no fun. Anyway, completing the movie clip was only half of the progress because we still have a 3-page individual reflection to write.

 

ASE401 is never fun.
