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)
