Writing For Multimedia And The Web - Reflection Week 13

So it's week 13!

" Wait a minute, wasn't the last post from week 11, where's week 12's reflection? I knew it! I knew you were a lazy, lackadaisical blogger who carelessly think's his readers won't notice such shiftless attitude!"

Now let me explain, imaginary, emotionally-turbulent loyal fan of my blog from week 9's reflection, there was no class for week 12 to make way for Malaysia's 57th Independence Day. And thus to everyone I would like to wish Happy Independence Day!

Forever proud to be Malaysian

 And so, class resumed on week 13, only one more week left to go. This week was again, presentation week, However this time, we will be presenting on our digital stories. The first group to present was Calvin, Wafa, Jayson and Sue Chin's group. They did a story about friendship, and they're video was very interesting. They made an animation using Powtoon if I'm not mistaken (maybe it was not Powtoon, I'm not good at identifying these animations software. *Update: They actually used GoAnimate). I myself wanted to make an animation for my group's story, but it was too hard for us, so I really applaud them for making a well-produced video on that medium. Here's an embedded video of their story:

The next video was by Geeta, Yarminee, Sharveena and Wardah. It was titled " I too can survive". It was about a girl who was not doing well in her studies and was rather indifferent towards it at first, prompting her mother to confiscate her belongings to urge her to study. But with the help of a friend, she managed to turn a new leaf and be successful. It was your typical heart-warming, underdog story, and I must say I was blown away by some of their acting performance. Below is their video:

The next group, made up by Musliha, Amira, Aidawate and Fatin Syamimi presented a story titled " A Secret Place".

Their story was quite similar to the first group's story. Basically, four friends got into a conflict which resulted in one of them being ostracized by the others. Later, that friend died, and it was found out that she always had a heart of gold and was planning something nice for her friends before she died. I guess the lesson to be learned is that you won't appreciate something precious until it's gone, and for me, that lesson cuts deep. Anyways, good job for everyone, your stories were very entertaining and full of valuable lessons to be taken in.
