Description
Summary:This report details the creative and production processes of our documentary titled “Centrestage”, which is produced as a Final Year Project (FYP) at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information. Using the stories of a group of primary school students who are learning Teochew opera and a veteran Peking opera actress, this documentary aims to explore the Chinese opera scene in Singapore by uncovering the faces behind it, tracing its steps through time and figuring out what is happening to Chinese opera in Singapore. Before the completion of this project, “Centrestage” was already shortlisted for CNEX Annual Theme 2008 and was featured on Channel NewsAsia’s “i Journalist”. It is hoped that this report will also serve as a guide for future FYP groups to follow, as well as an insight to the world of production for people who are interested in filmmaking.
