Psychology of Waiting (Behind the Scenes 2)

Hi, I am Tin Fung, a member of MY psychology Channel. I am a psychology student just like the other members. We are a group of passionate students who wish to make psychology knowledge/ information available for everyone.

We started the investigation from our own experiences in Kuala Lumpur. As a student in Kuala Lumpur, bus is the most economical way for us to get to our destination. However, the average waiting time for bus in Malaysia is 30 to 40 minutes. This actually led us to feel frustrated and anxious sometimes while waiting for the bus. Thus, the founder of this channel, Gary Yap suggested us to make an investigation towards Psychology of Waiting in the first production. We are interested to know that why do we feel such as a way while we spend our time in waiting. We have searched for the journal and article regarding the psychology of waiting and compiled everything.

It’s quite challenging in the first shooting of our production, as our assignment submission date and final exam are quite near. In addition, we do not have experiences on this kind of production. We try our best to squeeze out a time slot to shoot our first video. Although my English command is not really good, they gave me the opportunity to be one of the Emcee in this video. I found that it’s not easy to be an announcer especially for me whom Chinese is the first language. After the bio psych exam, we spent 2 hours to brief the whole script and about 4 to 5 hours to shoot the video. I never know that video shooting can be so fun, lot of funny NG and jokes during the shooting progress. Besides, our own production team has also conducted an observational study near a bus stop and we obtained interesting findings.

This psychology channel not only offer simplified psychology knowledge to the public, but also act as a stage for “us”, as students to improve ourselves and sharpen our skills. Last but not least, I would like to say thank you to MY psychology channel for giving me such an opportunity to participate in this meaningful program.

Psychology of Waiting (Behind the Scenes)

The whole video that posted in youtube would provide enough of information about psychology of waiting. (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe4yR0IMwPY). So I am gonna update the blog about my emotion during the creation and also the feeling along the process of making it happen.

My name is Mu Yi and I am gonna use MY as the signature of myself. I had been waiting for my whole life, perhaps even myself is not aware that I am waiting for it. Waiting for someone or some-many-one to work together for something that is worth telling. Of course it is not a wise move to wait for someone but to approach them. However, I am lucky enough to meet the few people in my life to achieve for something called dream.

The shooting of the first video was a rush. A rush to make sure our fire did not burn off and give a great head start. The shooting was not that smooth yet tiring. Me and another announcer (Tin Fung) had been struggling to remember even a short line for about ten words. To put yourself in front of the lens of camera is not an easy thing. Often a small step to move in front the camera would create a great amount of fear and anxious feeling.

However, we are lucky enough to have each other to rely and support to make the first episode happen. Gary, our director had definitely make a great amount of contribution especially making a great start and editing the whole video. He is and will be a great leader to lead us to produce more video.

To all who are reading this post, do not be like me. Not everyone is so lucky in terms of WAITING. Somebody don't even get the chance to meet the 'special' team to achieve their dream. So, do not wait any more. Even though you know the best way to spend on while waiting for someone, it is still a bad idea to just sit there and wait.

Do it!

MY.
