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.
