Writing For Multimedia And The Web - Reflection Week 14

Finally,


 


After 14 long weeks, we've finally reached the end of our journey. This week is the last week of class, which can only mean that this will be the last reflection for Writing for Multimedia And the Web.

This week, we resumed and finished the presentations for our digital storytelling. Up first is Hasnol's, Syarafuddin's, Shahril's and Lachvini's group. Their story, titled "Revenge" is a pretty typical story, however, with a very dark, unexpected twist. Basically, it's about a delinquent and how he changed to the better. I don't want to spoil too much, or rather I don't know I don't know how to convey the story to you because the plot is really complicated full of twists and turns, but the ending was really unexpected! unfortunately, they have not made the video available for the public but here are some screenshots from their video:

Next was Puteri, Insyirah, Syazwani and Umil's group's turn to present their video. Their video was titled "Froggy Tales". They really thought out of the box for their story. They made an animation and their style was very fun, colorful and whimsical. It is apparent that this video was made with appealing to children in mind, with animals as main charcaters. They also have not made their video public and this one image was the only image I managed to find of the video, courtesy of Puteri's blog.

And finally, it was my group's turn. There is a certain expectancy of being the last group to present. We are after all, not just the closing act for the day, but also for the whole course for the semester. To tell you the truth, I was worried that our video wouldn't be up to everyone's liking, since we had a lot of trouble for the particular project and had to rush a bit to finish it in time. The feedback was rather surprising, since everyone responded rather positively to our video. It was relief to say the least, especially so when Ms Amreet herself applauded our attempt. Here's a link to the video:

And that is it for the presentations. After all that, Ms Amreet gave a talk on how she felt teaching us this whole 14 weeks. I would like her to know that we generally feel the same way, this class has been fun and informative, and it was possible because we had her as our lecturer. I''ve really gained a lot from these past 14 weeks, and all the assignments I've done so far under this course has really improved my knowledge and ability to use multimedia and the web as a medium for writing.

We had a good run, let's hope one day we will be able to relieve moments like this. Untill then, farewell.
