Reflection (Week 11)

11/28/2015

 
Hello everyone. This is the reflection for Week 11! Wowwwww. Time sure flies by fast. Anyway, today is another presentation day! So, basically everyone presented their own dream place and mine is LONDON! Hopefully, one fine day I can go there. 
​Let move to the discussion session. This week, we learnt about the elements of multimedia. Of course with the help of Mr. Google, I managed to find the information on how they differ from one another. There are FIVE (5) elements of multimedia, namely
​

​The first element is
TEXT, in which is the most basic element of multimedia that contains words to express something. It involves the use of text types, sizes, colours and background colour. Second, GRAPHICS make the multimedia application attractive by illustrating ideas through still (static) pictures. Third, a multimedia application may also require the use of speech, music and sound effects. These are called AUDIO or the sound element. There are two basic types of audio or sound: analog and digital audio. Fourth, VIDEO provides a powerful impact in a multimedia program. Common digital video formats include Flash, MPEG, AVI, and WMV. However, it is limited in resolution and size. Last but not least, ANIMATION; a process of making a static image look like it is moving. It then can be categorized into three broad areas: 2D (2 Dimension), 3D (3 Dimension) and 4D (4 Dimension).

Next, ​just like the previous week, before the class dismissed, Dr, Fariza assigned us with another assignment where we (Aifa, Izza & Izzy) have to create a storyboard and script about 21 Century Skills. She then went on elaborating more about the importance of having the storyboard where it is the best way to share the vision, makes production much easier and saves the time. 

So, what is a storyboard? A storyboard is a graphic representation of how the video will unfold, shot by shot. It is made up of a number of squares with illustrations or pictures representing each shot, with notes about what's going on in the scene and what's being said in the script during that shot.

Therefore, let's create one, peeps! 




That's all I got for now. All the love - A. 

Reflection (Week 10)

This week, the class has been delayed an hour and started off at 10.00 a.m. And supposedly, this week is the presentation day regarding the survey that we'd done before. Unfortunately, all of us are still struggling to complete it including my group as well. Even me myself was confused about 'Data Analysis' and 'Findings' which turned out to be the same thing. Because of that, Dr. Fariza had to explain it all over again.

​
Note to self: Pay attention. Pay attention. Pay attention.

​Since each week has different task or assignment, for this week we were assigned to make use of Microsoft Publisher in creating a brochure about a place that we dream of going one day. In most of occasions, when talking about Microsoft Office, it has always been Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Instead, there are other packages offered by the Office such as Outlook, Access, Groove and Publisher too.  A little bit of facts - Microsoft Publisher works like a desktop publishing program in which you will find it useful for making catalogs, invitation cards, newsletters, flyers and other documents that require intricate layouts and graphics. Everything is simply ready where you just need to fill it with information and it is done. No longer having to fiddling around with text boxes, resizing them or messing up the preceding page layouts. Simple as that and of course it's depends on your creativity as well. Thus, for those who do art, animation and publication, this is exactly what you are looking for. 

I am actually very excited as it is such a rare opportunity, so be thankful, peeps. If not, my group needs to do the same topic of "21st Century Skills" in which had been uninvited official member of the group since week 5. So overall, today's class was indeed very beautiful with a beautiful assignment. 

To end, I inserted few pictures as a glimpse on what my brochure is about. 

​All the love - A

Reflection (Week 9)

Hello, it's me!
I was wondering if you'd read my previous reflection. ​ 🙈🙈

​Today, Dr. Fariza asked us to help each other by answering the links of questionnaire that had been posted at the Weebly forum as some of the groups happened to not reach the target at least 30 respondents.  Then, Dr. Fariza showed to us the correct way of creating the online survey in which what is matter and what is not when she's evaluating the form. Third, since survey and has been completed, the next step in the survey process is to present the analysis and findings, which involves the creation of a research report. Hence, we then were told about the correct format of the report. And, she also emphasized to need to be very transparent on how the data was captured. For example, be specific on how it was delivered to the respondents - email invitation or social media. Also consider who and how many it was sent to, how the analysis was conducted and so on. Fourth, Dr. Fariza also shared with us about the hidden functions of Microsoft Word which are very useful in completing the survey report. It's good to know the existence of those things such as the Page Break, Headings,Table of Contents and Navigation Map. I would say that they are undoubtedly very handy and time-saving too. Therefore, the good thing is, we no longer need to use the traditional-lame methods that are not efficient enough. ​To say I was in awed is an understatement. Fifth, she dismissed the class earlier! That's absolutely the best part, right? 😂😂 Nahhh, just kidding. 😁😁
​
Last but not least, it’s finally the last week before mid-semester break, and it already feels like a lifetime! Assignments and tasks are piling up. Not to mention all the readings and tutorial questions to catch up on. But it’s the break. So take a break, peeps!  ​🙆🙆
