Assalamualaikum

Hello everyone!
It’s me again! So today, I would like to write a
reflection on one of interesting subjects that I have learnt during my
university times, which is the Multimedia English’s subject. I have taken this
subject when I was in Semester 6, the lecturer for this subject would be my
beautiful Madam Mahani Mohamad.
I must admit that I have discovered a lot of new
information about multimedia throughout the whole semester. This was definitely
beneficial as at the end of the semester, we need to form a group in six and
come out with a Video Project on our own. Yes! On our own!
Meaning to say, we are the one who’s going to plan on
the storyline of the story, setting, camera angle, costume and many moreee!
Thus, our team may as well to come out with a
storyboard to be presented in front of the whole class before we started
shooting for the video.
*oh yes, I considered writing a storyboard is a new
thing to me.
After careful considerations and thoughtful
discussion, we have decided to shoot our scenes at Pantai Batu Buruk woods,
located nearby the seaside. We find the place was perfect for us as it is
in-line with our theme and storyline.
I considered myself lucky to be honoured with an amazing
groupmates, which are Fazira, Syazwani, Azzafirah, Thavamalar and Farhan Ahlaamie as they have been very supportive
throughout the making of our video project.
So here we goes, the tittle for our video would be…..
Yes, The Deadly Woods is the title for our video
project.
It tells a story on how a group of students were given
a task form their lecturer. The task needed them to take a very beautiful picture
so that their group would get the highest marks and thus their pictures will be
displayed in the next exhibition in their university.
All of them believed that the famous mystery woods
would be the perfect place for their photo shooting. Little did that they know
there are a lot unresolved mysteries in there and it has been said that people
who went in there had never came out alive. Although they have been reminded by
one of their teammates, Wani, who actually believed that something awful, might
have happened in the woods, as accordance to the name of the woods itself.
Nevertheless, they would not want to believe it as
they said it was just rumours and decided to go there anyway. Then, something
really bad started haunting them and one of them lost their priceless lives
tragically. And yes, at the end of it, no one actually survived.
All of us actually decided to use our own name for the
characters in the story. My role in the story was as Bella, who is the main
lead of the story. She was the one who suggested the place and definitely was
the most eager person to go there. She was the person who discovered her
friends’ body one by one, and she knows something that not right is going on in
the wood. She wanted to find out the truth and managed to face the psychopath
who had been the reason for no people had survived in there. Nevertheless, she
never could have made it alive as well. And the mystery shall remain in the
woods.
Wanna know how
does that happen? Here’s the link and take your time to watch it!
Enjoy! *wink
I would say that is the toughest yet wonderful
experience I have ever had in shooting for a video. This is simply because; I need
to shoot in the woods, which located nearby the main road, which a lot of car
and stranger’s passes by. Not just that, I need to run on the sandy beach, lays
on the sand and even need to make myself fall for few times.
But after all, I think we did an excellent job!
Oh yes, I am not that good in multimedia and handling
gadgets. But with this English multimedia subject, I have been able to learn
abundance useful tips and techniques, such as there are different angles in
taking photos and how does it convey the message to the viewers, the rule of
third which help the picture to be centralize and many more! Will definitely
keep that in mind and use it in the future.
So long, till we meet in the next entry! :)
