Reflection Week 4

During the class on 18th of March, all of the groups are to come up with a storyboard for the video we are going to produce for the course.

A storyboard of a video is basically it's 'blueprint', which will definitely help in the production of a video.

What I have learned in creating a storyboard is that first of all, the scenes in the storyboard should be arranged accordingly, to ease the delivery of the message or story that you want to convey. For example, if you want to make a story, you should pay attention to the arrangement of the scenes that you came up with, so that the viewers catch everything, or at least most of the message that you deliver in it.

In the storyboard, you should also make a short description and the type of shot done in every scene . For example, one the the early scene is an opening scene, which uses a close up shot and it is to introduce the contents or title of the video.

So those are the basic items needed in a storyboard a video, hopefully this helps!  

Here is our presentation on the storyboard that we made for our video presentation assignment!

Reflection Week 3

Hello~ I'll be sharing my findings on third week's class, which is on 11th of March 2016

On this week's class we are shown the video's produced by our seniors, which helps us view on the aspects needed in video making. First is the importance of lighting in the video. Lighting has a large impact on a video, where it can render the video difficult to view if it is too low, or too high. The correct amount of lighting will make it easier for the viewers to see what is happening in the video.

Second is the clearness of the audio. Uneven audio volumes in the video can be very annoying and can affect the delivery of the message in the video. Subtitles can be added to scenes that has low audio on recorded speeches. After that is arrangement of the scenes in the video, which helps in properly unloading the message and information in the video, so that it is easier for the viewer to digest and follow the flow of the video.

A lot of aspects are needed to create an effective multimedia in conveying the preferred message, which we all should be aware of if we are to produce one of our own.

Reflection Week 2

4th of March 2016

Assalamualaikum and greetings, again,


The second week of the lecture, we discussed on the domains of instructional technology. What I have learned in this lecture is that we need to use the five domains (Design, Development, Utilization, Management, and Evaluation) in order to carry out the the best possible teaching plan, with assistance of technologies available in the teaching environment (not limited to computers or other gadgets).



 Thus, as a future educator, I have to be smart in utilizing the technologies available in order to deliver my teaching effectively

Reflection Week 1

26th of February 2016

Assalamualaikum and greetings,

I didn't actually attend the first class, but what I do get from my friends is that we will be using MOOC, or the open learning website a lot in this course. This will definitely make the course a lot more interesting, and I will have the chance to enhance my computer skills. Along with the usage of MOOC, we will also be learning skills in photography, as we are told to produce a video in the end of the course. This skill will definitely be useful and practical in the future.



I'm looking forward to learn a lot of things in this course, that is all.
