1. How is your understanding of the topic after doing the project? Understanding about interactive multimedia?
After involved in the project on “Celebrating Malaysia's Cultural Heritage”, I developed a deeper understanding about my country’s culture in the aspects of food, festivities, traditional games and broaden my views on the hidden culture aspect which I am not really heard of like chingay games. Furthermore, I also felt that the cultures of Malaysia are very unique and even some of the cultures only exists exclusively in Malaysia like Gawai Dayak, Rainforest World Music Festival, etc. Indeed I have getting developed fondness in exploring Malaysia culture through traveling more within Malaysia great places to broaden my view and experience the diversity of different cultures.
Throughout all the assignments such as E-wallpaper (Photoshop), Personal Website (Dreamweaver), and Animation of Introductory (Flash), and the final assignment I have involved in, indeed there are new and fresh experiences I have ever have by using the multimedia applications and tools. Although I did not able to learn deeply about the multimedia applications and tools in it due to my slow learning progress of myself (lack of self-learning instead rely on lectures and tutorials only) and busy study schedule, but all these lesson and tutorials have exposed me to the fundamental knowledge and information which indeed had help me to take the first step in these multimedia field. These interactive multimedia applications have been competency skills that people should possess in this fast growing technology and globalization world in order to expand their networking, connection, delivering ideas, knowledge, etc no matter in aspects of business, education, financial and etc. I believe I will continually upgrade my skills in it and by practice more and searching for useful guidance to gain more knowledge of it and to apply it in my future workforce or personal life.
2. What were the problems faced since Proposal 2? How did you/your team solve your group problems?
Basically, the problems faced since the Proposal 2 is the lack of knowledge and multimedia skills in the multimedia applications especially Flash in doing the creative and special effect for the website. But it has been solved through the guidance of our leader, Ah Teh in providing the useful and resourceful references’ links and clips for us to read, watch and learn. Besides that, Mdm. Lydia and Kak Nor also had taught us the functions of some multimedia tools and recommended some references links for us in tutorial class and online discussion board.
3. What would you do differently next time?
I will being more independently and dedicated in searching the references links and being consistently in practicing the multimedia tools in the Flash and the others such as Photoshop and Dreamweaver. Besides that, I will also take initiative in seeking advice and guidance from experienced lecturer, tutor and friends in this multimedia field. As “practice makes perfect”, I will take the right action promptly which I mentioned as above when I faced the problem.
4. How is your motivation level?
About the motivation level in this overall subject with the assignments and project, it is quite unpredictable as my motivation level is quite fluctuating all the way along the assignments. When I faced problems in figuring what suitable themes, ideas and functions of multimedia tools for my assignments and this project, I would get anxiety and being moody as I am mostly worry about due date of the assignments is coming soon and could not finished on time with good and creative works.
5. How was working with your group & group leader?
It is a great experience of working together with the group members and group leader, Ah teh. I am happy to meet a new group member and new friend as well who is Diyanah who I never met her before in my university life until we took this subject together. I also feel glad that we have elected a great leader, Ah teh who I have knew him for some time in university here. He is a competitive and good leader who is good in IT and multimedia stuff such as photoshooting, blogging, designing and etc. So it is the wisest choice of elected him as our group leader in this project to guide and lead us to the correct steps in doing this project.
6. How was it working on the project?
It is a fun and knowledgeable experience working on the project with the others. It helped me to improve my knowledge on the Malaysia’s culture and multimedia applications.
7. How were your teammates & Group leader?
All of my teammates are being friendly and co-operative with each other expect Aaron had disappear (quit) already from nowhere in the half progress of this project. We have been strategically assigned different tasks or topic in the project from Ah Teh. Ah Teh as the group leader has been very responsible and dedicated in this project. Without his guidance, I believe that I will have a tough time in learning the multimedia tools and doing the project. Hereby I want to thank Ah Teh for it, thanks Ah Teh.
8. Personal evaluation of your own effort and that of your team
I evaluate my effort level in this project as middle as I have been bit slow in learning the multimedia tools and applications and not able to submit on time my assigned part to leader on our agreed submission date to leader to check, amend and compile it. The others are doing quite well in the tasks and being co-operative. I can see that the others have putting their efforts in this project but the highest contributor and highest effort put in this project is still our leader, Ah Teh.
