Description
Summary:‘Mao Mao’ is a short period drama set in 1980s Singapore. The story is about a little girl moving from her kampung house to an HDB flat and the struggle she goes through to keep her pet chicken. My role in this project was to play the part of the producer. As a producer, my duty was to oversee the entire production of the film from pre-production to post-production and to ensure that preparations for the principal photography were made in order. ‘Mao Mao’ was one of the few films to be filmed overseas using the equipment borrowed from the school. As such, many of the challenges faced during pre-production were regarding getting the equipment overseas. In this report, I will go through the process of ‘Mao Mao’ production, the challenges we faced as well as tips for future groups who may want to shoot overseas using our school’s equipment.
