The second presenter was Kitakita Productions..which is my group ^^, Actually we changed our group name in last minutes because we think that EduTech productions  seems so common and very straight to Educational Technology hheee, So, we decided to change our name to a more interesting and catchy name. Yes, we had choose to highlights nature sentiments in our video. We focus on three main stages which is the beauty of the world, the consequences and the steps taken to save our earth. We do video shooting, we interviews some flash floods victims and we together being an actor to complete this video.

The next group was Shafasafiratin Productions. The group members are Safwan, Farahafizah, Syira, FNS and Kak Ana. Their group name was unique because it was an acronym from all of their group members name. Their video was about friendship entitled SAHABAT.

Then it’s come to ChaCha creations group to present their video. Their group members are Yasmin, Adira, Jannah, Nora and Zarina. It was a very interesting video they made because they use fast motion technique. I love the doodle they made as the subject of the video. Oh, the video entitled Izara Asiah, it’s actually about a girl that have problem to perform her solat while traveling. The story focus on Ruksah Solat about Jamak Qasar and Jamak Taqdim. It was a good video because we can practice that solat when we are traveling. So, it was not an excuse to say no to solat because Islam ease their Ummah =)

Reflection week 13 ^^,

ImageIt’s normal when student get stress while studying. Sometimes it’s come from ourselves and sometimes might come from other people. It was quite a challenging time for us being in Semester III, we undergo a lots of challenging time, but it’s okey take challenge for worthless experienced.

Now, back to the topic for today class we start our class a bit late because there are some lecturers made a discussion in the lab. It was so exciting when we could learn something that we want to for such a long time. Huuu actually we a re going to learn about Adobe Photoshop today. Sounds interesting right?? I been waiting this since our first class.

During the class we learn how to  crop the object we want from the whole picture.Image

I tried to applied what I learn in class to edit this picture. To edit the picture we need to use magnetic lasso tool, then applied it to the object that we want to. Make sure the end of the sign meet each other. After that, we can erase the background that we don’t want.

Image

For this picture, I edit this by using filter. I use charcoal effects to add the blur elements to the picture. Isn’t it wonderful? There are more effects we can applied to the pictures like sketching and so on.

Then, Encik Helmi proceed today’s lecture with Adobe Premier Pro, and againnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn there are problems hhhere and there. Some computers don’t have that software and some are not compatible. So, Encik Helmi just show the steps at the slides. After that, Pn. Haz took over the class. She give a short brief on next week tentative. We need to make a film poster for our group, presentation slides about 4-5 slides, and make a flow chart to show our process of video making. The dean will come around 9.45 a.m to give her speech. All of us was so worries about next week, but I hope everyone can handle with the situation and give the best for this subject. Good Luck Guys =)

Hye, I’m Casper,one of the kids favorite cartoon =D Nice meeting you everybody………

NO

”””””””””””’

N0

”””””””””””’

NO

”””””””””””

We are not going to learn about casper cartoon today, but we are going to learn about CASPER in presentation slides. Sound interesting right? So…lets check it out what we have learn for today class ^^,

Image

  • Layout design in electronic presentation such as power point, refers to the skill used to arrange media in the slide in order to produce an attractive presentation
  • CASPER, the principle of design
  • Guidelines on how to arrange media; text, graphic, animation, and video

C-CONTRAST

The first element is contrast.Contrast was used to show different items on screen, it should be differentiated in regards to each other. We also can use contrast to avoid overlapping and to get more attention from audience. There are five aspect that we can emphasis to show contrast, there are font size, font type,color, line and graphics.

A-ALIGNMENT

Each element in the presentation should be balance especially in terms of symmetrical and asymmetrical. The image used should be visually connected to each other.

S-SIMPLICITY

Use simple graphic and animation to ensure audience get what we are trying to deliver easily. In addition, when we use simple graphic and animation it would be more attractive and easily to understand the message.

P-PROXIMITY

Proximity applied Gestalt Theory where it gives its law “objects near each other tend to be grouped together”.Circles on the left appear to be grouped in vertical columns while those on the right appear to be grouped inhorizontal rows. This means that, objects with the same elements should be grouped near to each other while different element should be placed far from each other – avoid overlapping.The aim is to create a visual that consist of separated units.

E-EMPHASIS

We should have some part that we want to emphasis on.Emphasize on elements and information. This can be accomplished through text, size and color.

R-REPITATION

It is a standardization which helps to convey message to the audience. And remember too much repetition will lead to boring presentation. We may use different media such as text, graphic, audio and animation.

Then, Miss Aida took over the class because she wanted to give a short talk on Learning with Information in High Education. This session was actually enhanced our knowledge in order to create a good writing report. Hee it was not a short talk actually and the slides was so long and it make me sleepy.But I’m not sleep in the class okey, just not pay attention on the talk a bit =p.

The last session was about video editing. Today we learn how to edit or trimming video by using Adobe Premier Cs5. The process same goes with Movie Maker and that day, the software installed in the computer lab cannot run so good then, Encik Helmi promise us that we will continue discussing about this next week.

Image

Miss Aida told us that she would give some prize for the best group presenter on our presentation day. That can make us being more motivated to give the best for our video. See yaaaa

Reflection week 11 ^^,

ImageLOVE THIS CUTE DOODLE SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

Heee once again, Assalammualaikum…

This week lecture was started with a reminding from Pn. Haz about our upcoming presentation. For our final presentation day, there are some parts that need to be focus on.

  • The video
  • Poster (for each group)
  • Our group blog (pictures and the process)
  • Our story board

Pn. Haz did mention that Ummi was planning to invite The Dean during our final presentation day. We felt a bit down because we never expect we would present our video project in front of The Dean. Moreover, Pn. Haz wanted us to construct a short essay regarding our process to complete our video project. She want us to put our essay on our group poster, so the audience will get some rough view about what we are going to present that day.

Then, En. Helmi took over the class, today he going to teach us about video editing. There are lots of software that can be use for video editing, but today we going to learn about Windows Live Movie Maker. This software have the old version and the latest version.  During class, I use the latest version of Movie Maker which is 6.0 version but I only manage to download Window Movie Maker 2.6 for my laptop. Even though they are slightly different to each other, I still can applied what I learn in class when I was in my college.

Heee I’m proud of myself actually, because I never use this software before.Ye lah, I’m not into those kind of gadgets and computer stuff right and it was such a good achievement for a beginner like me =)

See, it was too simple, yet we can add more attracting elements while editing our video like import a video into it or insert many songs. Beside that, we can put effects to our video like black and white mood or sephia. Hee for my first trial of video editing, I’m just use the basic parts ^^, SOO MALASSS.ehehe

Oh ya, En. Helmi also reminds us that next week, we would learn more on video editing, photo editing and will meet with new terms name CASPER =D Can’t wait to meet CASPER.huuu. It was just around the corner for our final presentation. En. Helmi keeps on reminds us that video trimming is the most important parts in video editing, we need to put extra attention on it.

Till we meet again in next week, see yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa =)

My reflection week 10 ^^,

I’m so nervous today, because we are going to present of progress with our video project. We need to present our draft in front of the whole class. The first lucky group that presenting the video was Syafasafiratin group. Their theme was about friendship, on how friendship happened without a concrete reason. I like their trailer because they do some interviews with kindergarten kids on what are friendship all about.

Next group was Fahmi’s group. Their theme was about healthy lifestyle. They encourage people to do all sorts outdoor activities and they chose Broga Hills for their main site. I wish I could hike that hills before my graduation day =) Fahmi’s group also showed some of their interviews with the visitors that come to Broga Hills. S0, Encik Helmi did mention that we need to state details about the people that we are interviewed.

For our group, we manage to show Encik Helmi our first stage on the video shooting. For this first video draft, we manage to edit the first stage that show the beauty of the world. Mr. Helmi told us that our video would be more interesting if we add in some interviews. So, after this we would make some other brainstorming to make our video more interesting. Actually, we already finished our video shooting, but when Encik Helmi asked us to add some interviews so we need to do other shooting,yeayyyyyyyyyy =). Oh, ya Encik Helmi also give some tips for us before we add in the interviews which is always make sure appears the text first before show the interview. Okey Incik, we will not forget that tips.

My food hunting start with the delicious Takoyaki =) i had tried somewhere in Bangi but I think at my hometown it taste more better. Then, my cousin ask us to tried on Snogurt since it had just launched a new branch in Pontian. We chose green apple and mango flavour an that flavour suits our taste buds nicely. We sit at Pontian Tambak and take some pictures before going back. I’m also adopting a kitten during my sem break and now my abah take care of it,hee sayang Abah. See??? There is no story of Ummi Amira with assignments during sem break =.= thats why I end up stucked with the overloads assignments.

Sorry Ummi Rosseni, I didn’t able to do my vlog this is all I manage to do ='(

Week 9 reflection ^^,

I’m sooooooooooooooo excited huehue..Oppss Assalammualaikum guys. Salam 1Malaysia =)

We don’t have class for this week because Ummi gave us an early ‘cuti’ for our mid semester break.  I wanted to share my story doing our EduTech Production first video. We had decided to go to Sungai Congkak recreational park to do our shooting. Erna had dealing with the person in charge for a car rental in Bangi area. So, we took a silver Perodua Viva for for half day rent. We paid RM20 per person for the car and the fuel. All of us meet at KKM before we heading to Sungai Congkak. Erna would be our awesome drive that day assist by JeeJee as the co-pilot also the one who help Erna finding the way. Me, Ayie and Winnie sit at the back telling stories to make the situation more cheerful. Along the way, we prayed that the rain will not comes today.

I’m so glad with Erna and JeeJee for not bring us to the wrong place. Actually, we could found the park as what we plan but =( butttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt the rains come just right after we arrive there.

see the rain??or you just see me?heee

see the rain??or you just see me?heee

While waiting the rain to stop we just sit inside the car and taking our own picture,like I’m do hehehee. When the rain stop we shoot some scene inside the park. The river was a bit cloudy because the rain poured very heavily. We were frustrated because we cannot shoot the crystal clear river. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo we neeed to go to our plan b ='(

We manage to complete 3 to 4 shoot there and decided to move back to UKM. Along the way, we captured pictures we think suitable with our project. We even stop at the road site to shoot a video near the garbage tank =.= It’s okey as long as we could take the best shoot for our video production.

we haven’t take our lunch yet,so we decided to go to The Wang Solo Restaurant for our lunch..Again we use GPS to get there but we took the wrong road. At last, after half an hour seeking for that restaurant we found it and having the food =) We safely arrived at UKM around 8.

delicious yet too 'sikit' for a starving people =p

I’m look forward for mid semester break,yippyyyyyyyyyyyyy =)

Reflection week 8 ^^,

Assalammualaikum..Hye everyone, welcome back to UKM =)

How’s your raya celebration?? It must be very fun right, same with me. Now back to our business.  For this week lecture,to be specific the lecture was on 2nd of November.Ummi also cannot be with us because she was in Bagan Serai for UKM’s programme. So, today’s class would be handle by En. Helmi and Pn. Haz.

Firstly, Encik Helmi gave his lecture on video setting. He showed us on how to shoot video from different angle.  Remember our class video shooting for previous week?? Encik Helmi did used different shoot to make our video differ from each other. For my video, he shoot it from a certain distance, and the focus was from my side. So, he expected that our video would applied those technique.

Next, Pn. Haz took over the class. We discuss on the timeline for our final presentation. What?????????????????? We will present our creative video production in front of the dean and all of our coursemates. That mean, we will have many audience and the presentation will be took place in Dewan Budiman =.= I think this kind of approaches would make all of us trying so hard to create a very high quality and interesting video. Pn. Haz did mention about our workshop on video editing,hmm and the date suggested was during our mid semester break. I wish we could not make it on our mid semester break because I wanted to spend my “cuti” with my family..

8th week – shooting

9th week – shooting

mid semester break – the workshop (KIV)

10th week – re-shoot

11th week – preview (90%-100%)

12th week – final compilation

13th week – presentation

That was the first timeline suggested by Pn. Haz and the things might be changed time to time. I hope me and my team production can make our video according to the timeline given =)En.Helmi then took over the class again to give a lecture on Soundbooth editing. This software was used to edit sound like delete the noise from the sound background or we wanted to mix a song with another song.

soundbooth softwareMake sure you installed this sofware before using it..The most important is this software was friendly users, I can edit my own sound although that was my first time trying this software. That’s all we learn for today and I hope all of us can applied what we have learn so far in our video production. JUMPA LAGI =)

Week 7 reflection ^^,

Assalmmualaikum,and a very good evening everyone. I wrote this entry on 2.30 a.m actually.

Lately, I keep on awake till late because I had to settle up my assignments. I feel so bad because supposedly I need to write this much much muchhh   earlier, before our mid semester break.

Since I got a fever so I’ve decided to stay at my room and get rest. After I think about try to skip my EduTech class I feel so uneasy because if I’m not attending the class I won’t know about the lecture and I cannot write any reflection =.= But I manage to skip my Thingking Skill class =( Ouh! Luckily, the class was cancelled so I’m not felt very guilty of skipping it. Such a long intro I guess.

The very bad thing about myself was being procrastinate =.= and I’m struggling to remember what have I done so far. For our class on October 19th, we had to present our progress on the story board. As what we had discussed we would stick t our main idea which is about environment (save the nature). We explained briefly to Encik Helmi and Puan Haz from one scene to another and some props that we would use.  They both satisfied with our idea and add some tips and info to make our video recording become more interesting. Puan Haz gave a short lecture that day and stressed us to focus more on assure model of instructional design.  The next following week we don’t have class because we are celebrating Hari Raya Haji or Hari Raya Qurban. This time, my maktok had bought a cow for the “Qurban”. We cooked many tasty food that day like kuah kacang, ketupat, serunding daging and sambal goreng.So Yummy!!!!
