I didn’t manage to update any reflection yet, but here’s the banner assignment that I’ve completed:
Presenting!!! The individual banner that I will update soon as my blog banner:
The group banner or more known as the food hunter’s banner for AN OUTING TO REMEMBER:
Week 6? The week I enjoyed the best in class!
Oh before that, assalamualaikum and greetings everyone. I hope you are doing very well.
Back to the reflection. That day start off with as usual, a recap of the pre-production process a.k.a the previous weeks class. After all all that we learn are interconnected with each other. Again, this week, Mr. Helmi’s giving lecture with the help of his friend Mr. Yusof. This week focus on production phase including photography and video taking technique. This week’s class again, it include loads of hands on activities which I prefer rather than just a normal theory-learning lecture.
I really gain new experience from the video composition, video shooting, video transferring, video designing and mobile tag lesson. Mr. Helmi gave us insight on the technique used in each of the topic but what I find most interesting is when we learn the video composition technique. I always thought in order to focus on object, we took the shot from center until when we learn about the rule of third. Then it comes to me as I viewed some of the picture on the internet, u don’t necessarily need to centerized the subject of our photo in order give focus.
The sakura tree in the picture below is not at the centre yet we know the highlight of the photo is the sakura tree.
I tried applying the rule of third through 2mpx phone camera. I’m not sure if it is correct but here goes:
I also tried the close up shot.
It was really interesting to try this out. Maybe at te Putrajaya I’ll be able to take the photo more beautifully using a more proper camera. Next, we also learn about the angle of camera and video shooting. Mr. Helmi said the angle may portray the mood of the picture thus video and camera angle must be taken into consideration when we shoot. I usually use the normal angle for any moods. haha…no wonder the mood I’m trying to convey through my photo never did get there. High angle represent depression or loneliness…Makes me wonder the famous high-angle photo people take for their face to look thin on facebook profile picture has meaning that the owner of the photo is lonely…(Just kidding). Then there’s the low angle that function to make the image appear bigger.
normal angel:
High angle:
Low angle:
Then we move on to video designing which involved the boundary game. Basically it’s another format of storyboard which is not that systematic (in my opinion) compared to the storyboard. Though I prefer this way. I mean story board is more on planning action before the video shooting while this one is used after the video shooting to select the important scenes and discard the unwanted scenes. This is easier to do I think for me who harly do work systematically at all. Anyway, we didn’t really have practice on this one but I do get a get clear picture of this technique. I wish to try it during our group’s video project.
The last topic was the mobile tag which I really enjoyed creating. I never knew there’s a website to create the mobile tag. “Mobile tagging is the process of providing data read from tags for display on mobile devices, commonly encoded in a two-dimensional barcode, using the camera of a camera phone as the reader device” (wikipedia). Basically, mobile tag is a URL presented on code that has barcode-like function. When we scan it using the camera on smartphone or phone that has internet access or even iPad, we can access the website or information. I’ve seen on a TV once that in Japan/Korea, there’s a machine that look like a vending machine where you can scan the mobile tag of the items to buy the product. We had a chance to create our own mobile tag and tried mobile taggng~ Here’s the link to my blog:
Guess what? You can even do mobile tagging on your phone number, SMS and even text. I really enjoy it.
After that lesson, we learn video shooting technique that include panning, zooming, dolly-ing and tilting. Zooming is a common terms and we often do it to get a closer movement of something. However, as a stated by Mr. Helmi, zooming will cause a bad result towards the video. The picture of the video will not appear clear at certain point. To solve it, he said we should use dolly technique where the camera is tied to the tripod with wheel and pushed. You can put it on the chair with wheel and push the chair. Dolly in is like zoom in but you push the camera forward while dolly out is like the zoom out where you pull the camera back. This is what I often see in movie. Now I know the term. We also learn about tilt where the camera is moved up and down (vertically) slowly without the cameraman moving and pan where the cameraman also don’t move but the camera is move horizontally to the left and right.
We get to try all the technique in class where we did all sort of things with the camera. I really had fun times during the class. Before I forgot, we also learn about putting up the tripod which it’s the first time of my life doing it. I do find this class as a learning experience that I may used in later part of my llfe.
Assalamualaikum and konnichiwa! m(-__-)m*bow Hope you have a wonderful day. Like a dash of light, it’s already week 5…I felt that we’ve done a lot yet our production of the video haven’t started. This weeks reflection will reflect on last week’s class! Last weeks’ class was extremely fun! I really enjoy the cooperative work and all the hands-on activities. We did paper prototyping technique to design our blog. Anyway, class started with misunderstanding which no one was to be blame. Luckily Luqman, Peng and I have discussion about another class so we decided to do work at the Makmal 1 and came early. 
Since my Arabic class was cancel, I manage to get to class early. (^_^) Anyway, class was with Encik Helmi. As we entered the class, there’s already materials on the table which already gave the impression that this week’s class will be exciting. All the color paper and boards as well as the marker really excite us and make us anticipated the class. As usual, it all started with lecture on web design where the model is almost the same as last week’s model on making story board. The only difference is instead of sketch, we use the phase of Paper Prototyping. The lecture was very interesting as well although it is not very long. Just like ASSURE model that we learn in Pn. Hazrati’s class, this is another technique of of ISD but I prefer this one as it is easier to use.
Then we precede to the activities which is the Paper Prototyping technique . Of course it’s basically a planning process. Like the saying, “Fail to plan means plan to fail”. This steps really an essential technique in designing weblog. First of all, the example he gave us…too complicated. What’s with the sketch of girl and the holiday website? I thought in our prototype activity, we have to do all that…the content includes as well as all the information. He probably should bring the real thing ( that we can touch and see) as example so that we get a clearer picture. After a while I understand he actually just want the how the blog will look like roughly. It’s still complicated though after that. What I meant is, it’s easy to plan what we want our website to look like but to make it happen, I don’t think we have the skill to make our website as cool as that. At first we are all confuse of what to do because En. Hilmi said there’s a lot of things we need to finish. We don’t know on what to start so I as the group leader gave out instruction by dividing work. One to do business card, one to do content and storyboard and some would do the website. However we actually misunderstood. Instead of doing the things, we are supposed to do the website causing us to start late and still confuse. Reference from other group and guidance from the lecturers really help us to work on time. Though, out of all the 5 steps, we FOCUS primarily on the website interface layout and the design. We didn’t even have time to discuss on the customers’s concern….Apparently, we finished the job by working as a group.
The result, is very…how should I say…DISASTEROUS. We had the idea but when we paste it, it didn’t turn out like we wanted to. I’m still very proud of my group members though. I guess if we have more time, w’ll make it more organized and beautiful. Then we present our ideas to the whole class. It is so funny yet embarassing as we’re the only group with the ROUGHEST and SCATTERED design of all. haha.
It was a fun activity and I think if we could do it often in class, this class will be very interesting! I enjoy drawing, writing, cutting and pasting and share of ideas. Since I work well with the group, there’s no group problem. It’s just that since it’s not such a complex activities, not all work are divided evenly. I also manage to update the group blog with some pictures and video of our discussion for the video production this week. That’s all for today~!!!
Konnichiwa and Assalamualaikum!
How are you? I hope we all have a great day awaiting for us today! This week post won’t be very long as some of the reflection on the video is updated on the company’s blog.
Week 4 class is mostly on the recap of last week class but this time I am perfectly clear about the topic. We’ll talk about that afterward. First, let’s talk about Madam Hazrati’s class which I find it very difficult to understand the content. Though, it’s not the lecturer’s fault. My Arabic class finished quite late so we had to rush to class. By the time we arrived, the lesson has started…All the rushing makes me take some time to be settle down thus I ended up clueless when we arrived at certain point. No worries…I’ll just read back the slide she gave us since it’s theory. I’m sure as I review it later, I’ll understand it.
Mr.Helmi’s class was easier to understand as he aid it with the powerpoint slides. I’ve read his blog before so, I’m clear about his explanation. Miss Hazrati’s example of storyboard also help me to get a clearer picture of what the storyboard will look like. Mr. Helmi also answer my question as detailed as possible, so I have no problem comprehending what we should do.
The end of the class, we consult Pn. Hazrati’s on our problem regarding the equipment and she adviced us to try watching globe trekker as one of the solution to our problem. Watching Ian Wright’s Globe Trekker gave us a brief idea on what we have to do for the storyboard as well as the video. Thanks Pn. Hazrati. Through discussion at the end of class, we came up with a few ideas for our production which I have updated on our company’s group. I really like how Dr. gave us time to discuss in class as we rarely have time outside class to meet.
I guess that’s all for today.
Moshi2 n Assalamualaikum~!!!!
For week 3, we have learnt a very interesting topic which enjoyed very much titled, ‘mobile blog’. For this class we have been exposed to the usage of ipad and I’ve got to try it as well as some of my friends.
As much as I enjoyed the class, I would say, I don’t really understand the class’s content. I can’t understand much of what the lecturer was trying to say about mobile blogging…I very much get the point on what mobile blogging is. I think if he explained it in BM he would be more comfortable and it would probably make me easier to understand. The blog that he suggested for us to look through is also interesting. I manage to read something and I gain some insight about the technique on video recording.
Dr. Rosseni however managed to explain it back very well and I somehow understand it better. We then break into group. Thank god, I manage to be in the group of people that I really am comfortable working with. We’ve been having quite a hard time choosing a topic but we finally manage to agree on one topic, “100 a day at Putrajaya”. We’ve also chose the board of director/ post that all of us agreed upon. You’re looking at the art director and the blog main admin. I love this kind of work.
Again, as much as I love this class since I got the opportunity to try the Ipad (the lecturer did a great job demonstrating on how to use the Ipad), I don’t really like using mobile blogging. First I don’t own any mobile blogging equipment. Second: I prefer using normal PC blogging and even the video uploading through mobile. I know we need to change for better, but still I prefer the PC blogging/video uploading. More shocking news, after this we need to do some vlogging!!!! I’m embarrassed. I tried it once but it turn out so funny. Though, I’ll try it this time with script so I don’t stutter or turn red….
I’ve finished the company blog!!!!! Here’s the link~ http://foodspaqlhunt3r.wordpress.com/
I guess that’s all for today~!!!
Jaa~!!!
Moshi Moshi~
Greeting~
Another update for this week blog and today’s update will be on today’s topic that we learn with Puan Hazrati titled: Systematic Planning in the Use of Media and Evaluation. As a recap from today’s class, INSTRUCTION is an arrangement of collection of data to produce an effective learning. In other words, it is like a data of content that we want to teach. In order to deliver this data, we need INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN (another important term) which is the systematic process to design. develop, implement and evaluate our instruction. For example in this class we use wordpress as an instructional design.
Instructional design includes determining students needs, determining objectives, developing evaluation procedure, designing and choosing delivery strategy, employing instruction system and evaluating overall system. We’re also introduced to a few types of models of Instructional design like Dick and Carey and ADDIE but the major one is the one we lean deeply which is ASSURE MODEL.
A – Analyze learner
S – State objective
S – Select media or materials
U – Utilize Media and Material
R – Require learner’s participation
E – Evaluate and Revise
Our exercise for today is to create our own sentence for objective based on the ASSURE model. Mine is:
Class 1A will be able to write 5 sentence using at least a verb with 100% sentence accuracy.
It was interesting perhaps as we learn many things today like the rules and exception and types of learners. Can’t wait for next week’s class. Until then~
Moshi Moshi2
The first class of GGGE2153 and my head is full of what to expect on this semester. This is just like the first semester course of Computer in Education where we have to write reflection every week. I’m not really burdened by it but….the assessment on doing video seems like there need to be a whole lot commitment to finish the video. I’ve done a few video in terms of photostory before but I doubt it’s an ‘A’ video. I hope with the new experience and knowledge I got from the class, I’d be able to produce a better video and gain new knowledge on the software related to it.
This class we’re attending has only like 19 students yet we’re using such a huge hall and the lecturer turned out to be the lecturer from my computer in Education class, Dr. Rosseni. We’ll also be taught by Miss Aidah and Cik Khazriyati as said by Dr. Rosseni. Note on what to do for this sem: -
a) Video
b) blog reflection every week
c) Final exam
I watched the senior’s example of their video production. Some of the videos are good, while some may seems boring but we can see how creative they are using the video effect on their video like zooming or fasting it or making it slow motion. Those are from the experts already and it took them long enough. How about me who is not that good in camera technologies and editing. I’m really worried especially when most of this semester course are program based project which required very amount of time. I guess I’ll be burning the midnight oil every night this sem…but I’ll also try to have as much fun during this semester.
Hai Hai,
Last week for our ‘kuliah’~! I am really surprised that time moves so fast. I mean it’s already the end of semester. I’m so going to miss this course.
Anyway, I’ve filled in some questionnaire on the MS Access ebook on the the internet. Apparently, it was used for our SPSS assignment. I have never heard of SPSS until I today’s class. I also never thought it was not so difficult to use it compared to MS Access. So, in that class, we learned on how to key in data, do statistic and graph as well as analysis for subjective question. It was fun and it didn’t take very long to finish it.
Dr. Rosseni also informed us a bit on our upcoming final exam…
Wah, I’m not ready but I’ll try my best. I guess this is the last post for GE1155. I seriously enjoy this course and I hope I can used all the knowledge I got in my future assignments and work.
Thank you to Dr. Rosseni and Cik Aidah for their great teaching and convey of knowledge. They really helped us a lot and nothing could repay them.
Thank you again~
Hai Hai,
Nothing much to talk about this day. I am among the people who finished MSAccess and somehow I really appreciated my dad for that. Anyway, I was surprised that Cik Aidah entered because I thought it was supposed to be SPSS with Dr. Rosseni. I decided to ask Cik Aidah about my Report and Query when she suddenly ask me to help teach with her in front. We tried several times to teach them and some of my peers even come for me for help…Maybe I have that teaching skill…LOL….Just kidding.
I was happy to have that experience teaching with Cik Aidah. It’s not really teaching anyway…It’s just showing how to do. It turns out, she decided that the last question about student who’s active in co-curricular is unnecessary so I have to delete my wokr on that.. No troubles at all.
Anyway, I started to write online and I’m so happy that I got quite a reader and even some fan of my fiction. Though I won’t let anyone who knows me read any of my work coz it’s embarassing. I uploaded ome of my old fics to a community and only after few minutes, my mail is loaded with comment. I think I’ve found a hobby…
Guess that’s all for this week.
Hai Hai,
This week, both Cik Aidah and Dr. Rosseni is absent so we were left with work she wrote on the whiteboard. We were suppose to do a query and report on:
Student who haven’t pay their fees
Student who deserved scholarship
Student who’s active in co-curriculum
She also provide us with Ebook on Microsoft Access. I understand the whole process on how to do it but I have trouble on what criteria determine the answer for the question. The book really helps but the example is not really enough to help me understand better on the function of Query and Report. However, I managed to do it after consulting it with my dad. My dad and I brainstorm on the question as well as he taught me on how to do the Access. It was fun learning with him.
It’s easier than I thought but I still need to consult Cik Aidah for it. Anyway, here’s the printscreen for my work:
