Class Devotion 2008

CAS Activity: Class Devotion 2008 - "Modern Slavery"
Supervisor's Name: Miss Ng Sho Ching

This activity required my class, 5X, to work together with the common aim which was to produce a video decent enough to portray the theme of Modern Slavery. This video would be shown and explained to the entire school on the 27th of March. The purpose of such an activity proposed by the school would be to expose and educate the school to matters regarding modern slavery; to increase awareness amongst the student body about such issues.

In the process of making the video, besides the plot of the video, we had to decide the number of students that were to be directly involved and the venue of the video-shoot. In a matter of one week, we decided that it would involve approximately 15 students, and would be held at my house.

On the 16th of February, approximately 16 students came to my house to produce the video. We spent a total of 4 hours making the video. This time also included lunch as the time period was from 11am to 3pm, which collated to about 45 minutes. In this time, we faced several difficulties. Besides those relating to technicalities, we found it hard to organize scenes which involved the entire amount of people who were present at that particular time.

In the process of this activity, I learnt more about the characters of my classmates, and how they used the idea of teamwork to make this a fun and memorable success. If I could do this activity again, I would make use of a better quality video camera and limit the number of people actually needed. Also, I would request for a more appropriate theme, to match, or rather abide in, the Methodist name of our school.
