3 minutes

Today, I had a clear view of what we are supposed to do for our second assignment, which was making a 3-minutes video clip for teaching children. It is an individual assignment but the marks of every group members will be calculated as a sum to get an average mark for the group. Finally, this will be the marks for the assignment. I realized that I need to produce a fine video since my marks will affect the marks of my group. I think this idea of giving marks is very good as it motivates us to produce the best video in order to get high marks.

To do this assignment, each group has to discuss and set the criteria or quality assurance that is taken into account to assess the video. My group had discussed and agreed that our criteria for judging the video are creativity (layout, colour and audio), content and language. As mentioned by our supportive lecturer, Prof. Dr. Maznah, each group member needs to check and assess each others’ video first before consulting the tutors.

As what I understood from the briefing about the assignment, firstly, we need to identify one or two objectives of the video project. Then, we have to create storyboarding that portrays our idea of what to be included in the video. For instance, animation, narration, cartoons, instruction, demonstration, 3D clay, comedy, storytelling and others. We need to describe what will appear in the screen (eg; pictures, clip, graphic or other kind of visual), what listeners will hear (eg; music, narrative, sounds), specifics of every piece of media that we need and narration as attached in this website:

Thank you Prof. for giving us some guidance on using Microsoft movie maker. That means a lot to me. Storyboarding and doing video project is something new for me as I never done it before but I will take this as a challenge. Plus, it is beneficial for me as I will gain new knowledge of designing storyboarding. Honestly, I am so excited to do this assignment and can’t wait to see the final product. Wish me luck =)
