Week 4
On week 4 ( 20th sept 18'), we had to present our assignment 1...
22nd sept 18'
I learned many things when i did a research about assignment 1 with my group. I really like my group, they are very hardworking and helpful. However, on the presentation day, i felt really sick and had not much energy because of my horrible migraine and weak body but i still tried. It was pretty scary during our first presentation infront of everyone but i guess that's normal. Plus, speaking english infront of everyone can be a little scary to me because i speak bahasa malaysia most of the time and barely speak english. I feel like the only time i speak english is when im in Uni.
25th Sept 18'
My group got the lowest for assignment 1 which was 4/10 and i find it so UNFAIR. Our slides and the way we present may not be good but we were the last group to present out of 11 other groups. The presentation was suppose to be only 5 minutes but the first 4 or maybe 6 groups get to present 20-30 minutes while my group ( the last one to present) had to skip some parts and did not get to talk much because everyone was rushing and wanted to end it quick. I find that really unfair and Mr. Charles should have atleast gave us 5/10 ( half) instead of less than half of the full mark :( but Mr. Choy is cool. Anyway, My group and i will try harder for assignment 2 #nohardfeelings

Week 6
​
We learned about propaganda

​
Examples of propaganda posters
After class, my group and i went to see Mr.Charles to talk about Assignment 1. We changed the theory and edit the slides hoping Mr.Charles would give us more marks since we only got 4/10 for assignment 1.
After showing him the slides and explained the new theory, Mr charles were very nice and gave us extra 3 Marks which means we got 7/10 for Assignment 1. Now we gotta work harder!

First, we had to find a microphone so the audio of the video would be nice and clear and we rent it at asia film equipment. It was rm 80 per day
Inside Of AFE
AFE has alot of equipment and it was my first time visiting a production Office/building. They have all the filming stuff and it was very cool. Me and my group met an ex student of Taylor's University who is working there and she helped us and explain to us about the equipments and what we need before we start filming out video
The next day, we went to SMK Cyberjaya to ask permission if we could film in the school. Then, we went to ask around and look for students that would be willing to help be the actors.
