AFTER PRESENTATION OF DIGITAL STORYTELLING

Our experience while making the video of mixed marriage in Malaysia

Hello everybody, Thanks to Allah for giving us strength to presenting our DST video to all of you. We're really happy with the positive feedback from all of you. We hopes we can be the best among the best. We are really happy when our DST can attract the crowd and make our class happening especially when the celebrities pictures show with the description. Thanks a lot to our beloved lecturer, Madam Fuzirah for her guidance,  advice and  a lot of information that she share with us in the class.


There a lot of exciting and sad experience we would like to share with all of you. Especially during choosing tittle for our video. Many tittle are be recommended but finally our group have decided to choose mixed marriage issues in Malaysia. Two of our member are from the same courses. One of our member, Asnita get an idea to create a facebook account for our group. Through the group, we can discuss and communicate through each other easily and it will save our cost rather than using handphone to communicate to each other. This is because we are not from the same college, so its difficult to us to meet frequently due to different class schedule. 


We also use a gmail account to create a blog. In this blog we can share our experience during making a DST. We also can read other groups experience and write comment through the blog. This gmail account afasna is the combination of our group member’s name.Afaf, Asnita and Diana. We have discuss our DST project at Tun Sri Lanang Library (PTSL) and level 3 at our faculty.

We have search an information through the Internet for Malaysian artists who intermarried with their partners. We also display the information regarding mixed marriage. The statistics of mixed marriages in Malaysia with a partner from the other countries are also included. We have facing a problem with our voice recording video that we make at PTSL.  We have found that the sound audio problems happen when our voices cannot be heard clearly and the image blurred. Before this we use one of our member handphone to making a recording. After that we make a decision to recorded once again using handycam to obtain the best results. We also do not know how to use Movie Maker so we have referred to our friends to solve this problems to improving our skill and knowledge about IT 

We also had an idea to create a video based on the love story between the two countries. That is  Abdulhamid Mido from Egypt and the Nadia Ali from Malaysia. They meet in a social media network, Facebook. After three month of relationship, Abdulhamid decided to come to Malaysia to meet her. Three years later they decided to married with the consent of their parents. We use the Print Screen technique to obtain the best images.

We intend to make an interview with foreigner to ask his opinion about mixed marriage. One of our team members,  Asnita have been meet with one of the foreigner that study Master in Physic in UKM. His name is Farid and he from Iran. He has agree to be interviewed to asking his opinion regarding mixed marriage in Malaysia. We have made the interview session several times cause we have facing with audio problem. We have made a recording at level 3 FSSK, as it is an open area, the voice in this recording cannot be hear, then we changed our plan to make our recordings in our class. We spend our time one whole day with him. We also discuss many things especially about his country. We also gave him gift as a token of appreciation for his willingness to help us in this project. After all information is collected we have tried our best to complete the project.

Although we have facing with a lot of problem, but we can overcome all problems with the cooperation of all team members. We also learn how to improve communication between us, our weaknesses in English, and also learn a new skill and knowledge about IT . All the joy and sorrow we share, we have made a valuable experience  that we will not be forgotten. (AFAF)

At the day, Madam Fuzirah ask us to form a team for the DST , we decided to work together in a team. Me (Azila), Asnida and Suriani are from the same course, Malay study. So , we had known each other before that. Fuzianti we just know in the BIUS class. She is from linguistic study. But, this is no problem to us for working together as long as all of the group member realize their own responsibilities. After that, we spent our time to discuss about our topic. At the first, we were so confuse and difficult to decide the suitable topic to make a video digital story telling. Firstly, we plan to make a video about cooking. Then, one of us have an idea to make about our journey life as a new student in UKM. However after we discuss so many times we got an idea to present a topic about falling in love in social networking facebook.
     We  had choose the topic because this is the current issue of concern today by people. But here,  i do'nt want to talk about the topic because you all have seen it in our class before. What i want to share with you all is the experiences we had through to make the video become true. After we got the topic, our leader Fuzianti ask everyone of the group member to find the information and sources that relates with our topic from reading articles like magazines, newspaper and also through the internet. Then, we make an interview with some of our friend to ask their opinion about the topic. They were very sporting and willing to spend their busy time to help us. We are very appreciate it.
       After finish make an interview, we start make a video using the software window live movie maker.  Thanks a to Asnida because she contributed a lots in the process to make the video. She have more experiences and skill than us. Then, we find suitable music to put in this video. After that, we start record our voices to contribute in the video. There were many times we have to repeat record our voice because we thought its so funny . Then, the last preparation we do were to edit again our video to be more clear and perfect. So, if you all notice there have still some mistake in our video, so sorry!! We just try our best.
        However the most important and sweet experiences we got  are  the learning process we have collect from the project. There were a lots of thing we were learnt from it. We learnt how to co-operate in a  team, learnt about leadership, friendship, patience, learnt about ict skill, communication skill  and others. This was the awesome experiences for us that we never forget for the rest  of our life.
         Thats all i want to share with you all today. Thank you for reading.  Have a nice day. Good bye !

WHAT WE HAVE LEARN FROM DIGITAL STORY TELLING?


 LEARNING EXPERIENCE ...

Assalamualaikum and hello friends..

Foremost, Alhamdulillah and thankful to Allah s.w.t because He gives us an opportunity in terms of healthy, opinion, facilities and others when doing our project done with successfully. I am also expressing my sincere gratitude to our project lecturer from BIUS class ( Set 11), Madam Fuzirah due to a priceless opportunity and a solid trust to pursue in this project for our digital story telling. Her continuous helps, knowledgeable guidance and outstanding information show us a direction to complete this project (DST) in success.

Our group made up a fieldwork to research about beggars.  So we go to the Kuala Lumpur, the busy city to make our research.  We went there by car and arrived around 12 o’clock in the afternoon.  When we arrived there, we have to find a car park in that area, which were very difficult to find.  Luckily, we managed to find the car park at MARA Department which was just a stone’s throw away from our fieldwork area.  Then, we started our fieldwork’s trip at Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman.  There is a place called “night market” at Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman.  We had found a few beggars around the area that begging for money and help.  After that we went to Masjid India its take around ten minutes walking from Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman.  After that, we went to Jalan Hang Tuah by using public transport, LRT.  That was a terrible experience for us, when one of us was attack by a crazy man.  He follow us until the waiting area.  Luckily, a policeman saw us and he help us to make the crazy man stay away from us.  But one of us was crying terribly because of afraid with that crazy man.  Then, to make our work more efficient, we divided our group into two.  First group go to Bandaraya while the others go to Masjid Jamek.  Along the way to Bandaraya and Masjid Jamek, we did take several picture of beggars and their survival.  We can see that a lot of beggars are actually handicaps.  They managed to get money trough sympathy from all people.  We end our fieldwork at 5 p.m. and return back to UKM.  It was unforgettable experience that i get from our group fieldwork. 

Next is related to our strength is we known each other since class Dr Shahidi. Thus our interaction is more convenient. Furthermore, we have use social networking and created a group in Facebook. So, our group take this opportunity on discussing about DST’s project in our Facebook group which is, named DST BIUS.  These give us place to always discuss. Besides that, we have also some weaknesses such as, lack of data.  In the beginning of our work, we have tried very hard to find information of data like pictures, statistic and respondent’s of our interview session. Last but not least, we had difficulty of finding right software to be use in this project. At first we want to use Cyber link Power Director 10 but this software is too expensive to us. We decided to use the latest version of Movie Maker.

Furthermore, regarding about improvement the skills on making this project are firstly, ICT skills, the software that we already know is making video with windows movie maker. Then Madam told us in class about new software that is cyber link power director. We try to learn how this software works but because of technical problem we faced a lot of problem, the solution is we continue to use windows movie maker.

Secondly, in term of the communication skill, this is the skill very important for us because as a group discussion, we have all four members which have different ideas.  Next, we learn that from the skill teach us how to communicate in the right way, and there is no hurt anyone, so we can cooperate together happily. Besides that, we can apply it in our daily life such as when we talking with lecturer, other members or the strangers.

Lastly, about our language skill, which is most of the lesson we get from lecturer, Madam Fuzira in class. We have to know what is a noun, verbs, adjective and many more. How to make the correct grammar, the tenses like present and past and others?  Furthermore, we also learn the pronunciation some difficult words. At the same time we had increase our vocabulary with using synonym words.

Finally, making this video is the new amazing experience that we have ever and forever. 

Learning DST

The learning that we have learn from make a Digital Story Board Falling in Love on Social Networking Site Facebook is improve our ICT skill. Before we make the DST, we do not know how to make a movie by movie maker software and we never download that software before this. Now, we know how to use the movie maker to make a movie but not very expert yet and after this we will learn more about this software to improve our skill to make a movie that will coming soon.
Beside thats, from DST we also learn how to work together as team. Even we are not a same hostel, we are still can give a co-operation. From the discussion, we known each other start with a background family, our programm and so on. so it can make friend relationship between us and its more easy for us to do work together.
We are also have learn about a communication skills where how we communicate during discussion, face to face and on social networking site facebook. We learn how to interview people and itis help us to increase our confident level to talk to another people.
