companions must confront their own doubts and fears, forging bonds of
friendship and courage along the way. With the forces of darkness growing
stronger with every passing day, they must race against time to unlock the
Artefacts of Light and unite them before it's too late.

Story of Two Friends - Monkey and the Elephant in a Jungle

In a jungle, there lived two friends - the monkey and the elephant. On an
unusual day, a quarrel broke between them about who was better. While the
elephant claimed that it was better to be strong, the monkey was stubborn
and that being fast and agile was better.
Monkey and the Elephant
Getting stuck in solving this matter, they went to the wise owl and asked the
same question to him. The owl accepted to answer the question provided
these two have to undergo a challenge.
He said that far away across the river, they need to bring a fruit hanging on a
tall tree that is far away across the river. This task was next to impossible, but
the owl would answer the question only once he had the fruit.
The Monkey and the Elephant went Near the River
What happened next was, that the monkey and the elephant initiated their
journey to bring the fruit to the intelligent owl. When the monkey reached the
river, he discovered that the river was too deep and tough to go along the
powerful currents of water. The elephant saw his friend and asked the monkey
to ascend on his back and in this way they passed the river together. When
they reached the tree, the elephant attempted to descend the tree. But the
tree was strong and won’t shake so the monkey climbed up the tree, and
plucked the fruit.
The Elephant Helped the Monkey Cross the River
He climbed down, laid on the elephant's back and they outreached the
intelligent owl with that golden fruit.
Monkey climbed up the Tree and got the Golden Fruit
The owl then asked, "who between you both brought the fruit for me? " The
monkey said he did because he climbed the tree and got the fruit and the
elephant said it was possible because he helped his friend to get onto the
other side of the river.
The wise owl at this point interrupted in between the argument and said, "You
both have your abilities and strengths.

Moral of the story - Is no one is not superior to the other, individually we are
not very effective. However, collectively as a team, we can achieve the
impossible. All because you used unity at the right time to do the right
thing."

RESULT:
Presenting team stories in class provides valuable practice in public speaking,
storytelling, and communication strategies was successfully done.

Production
Single-camera production is a filmmaking technique that uses one camera or
multiple cameras pointed in one direction to capture every shot and angle. The
camera is moved and reset to get each shot or new angle. This technique is
often used in documentaries, corporate videos, dramas, comedies, and
narrative short films.
During the production phase of a media project, particularly in single-camera
production and documentary filmmaking, several key elements come into play,
including personnel, equipment, and the overall production process. Let's

aspects of the project, including lighting, camera angles, and framing.
Camera Operator: Operates the camera during filming, following the DP's
instructions for capturing shots and scenes.
Production Assistant (PA): Assists with various tasks on set, such as setting up
equipment, coordinating logistics, and supporting the crew and cast.
Sound Technician/Recordist: Manages sound recording equipment, ensures
high-quality audio capture, and addresses any sound-related issues during
filming.
Single Camera Production Equipment:
Camera: Utilize high-quality digital cameras suitable for single-camera
production, such as cinema cameras or DSLRs with professional video
capabilities.
Lenses: Choose appropriate lenses based on the desired shot composition and
visual style, including prime lenses for sharpness and zoom lenses for
versatility.
Tripods/Stabilizers: Use tripods or stabilizers to maintain steady shots and
eliminate camera shake, especially for static or moving shots.
Lighting Equipment: Set up lighting kits, including key lights, fill lights, and
backlighting, to create the desired mood and enhance visual aesthetics.
Audio Equipment: Ensure reliable audio recording equipment, such as lavalier
microphones, shotgun microphones, and audio recorders, for capturing clear
and crisp sound.
Documentary Production:
Research and Pre-production: Conduct thorough research and planning to
define the documentary's subject, objectives, themes, and interview subjects.
Interviews and Footage: Conduct interviews with experts, witnesses, or
subjects relevant to the documentary's topic, capturing candid and insightful
responses.
B-roll and Additional Footage: Gather B-roll footage, archival footage, and
supplementary visuals to enhance storytelling and provide context.
Narration/Voiceover: Record narration or voiceover segments to guide the
narrative and provide additional information or commentary.
Editing and Post-production: Edit footage, audio, and graphics to create a
cohesive and engaging documentary, incorporating transitions, music, sound
effects, and visual enhancements.
The post-production stage involves editing and composing the raw film footage
captured during principal photography to bring the film and story to life on the
computer. This includes editing, sound design, visual effects / special effects,
color correction, titles / graphics, and the musical score.
Review and Feedback: Seek feedback from stakeholders, peers, or focus
groups to refine the documentary's narrative, pacing, and impact.
By leveraging the expertise of production personnel, utilizing appropriate
equipment, and following a structured approach to documentary production,
media projects can effectively capture compelling visuals, authentic stories,
and engaging narratives that resonate with audiences.
