Hello.(:
We were briefed by Alfie today on some compulsory matters we had to include in our MOIP1 video project.
They were:
1.) Interviews
2.)Interviewees
3.)Visual Overlay
4.)Opening Intro
5.)Closing
Essentials of a video and it's content.
1.) STYLE
Once again, we also looked into the style of our video we want to present it in.
( This was Alfie's way of making sure we were close to our requirements and refer back to our checklist constantly.)
The various elements that make up a style are as follows:
1.) Theme
2.) Look
3.)Graphics
4.)Text
5.)Audio : sounds,music,soundtrack,sfx etc.
6.)Content Layout : script.
Alfie also explained to us that his preferred way of making a video is by planning all the elements first with the content layout being the last so that it will be easier to come up with related topics that fits the script. And the opening introduction should last for at least 5 minutes if it is 30 mins long and at least 3 mins if it is 10 mins long.
2.)What are we selling ?
We have also got to be very clear of what impressions we intend for our audiences to walk away with at the end after watching the video.
3.)Objective-How do we engage?
Thus, we have to know what objective do we want to sell. Do we want them to feel the fun,the adventures and excitement involved, or how different we are from the others that makes us outstanding?
4.)OUTLOOK
Yet, at the same time, consider how do we achieve this.
At the end of it all, we have to decide the outlook of our video. Do we want it be a MTV style, a documentary, or amazing race style,etc.
End.
It was a nice day, Shuxian gave me the wire! So nice of her.
It is able to work too, thought of posting some pictures bt they said a installation CD was needed, sadly, I don't have it.):
That's all for today,
allebest to everyone!(:

Day 3- Video viewing
hello.(:
I was a little late for lecture today,went in the hall when everyoone was seated. Felt bad and a little embarrased. So i just stayed in a small corner. Luckily no one reallynoticed.haha
Alfie was briefing us today, the lecturer in-charge of my class and he addressed the focus and desired result problems which can be found in my previous entry that surfaced in our class to the whole of MOI so that other classes can all learn from our mistakes through various video examples he brought in.
A few other problems were also addressed by Alfie and another lecturer Wahida too.
They were:
-Whether it was a must to include every single one of the subjects learnt in the past year.
-Whether or not should we post and share all our ideas on the blog for fear that others may come up with similar ideas too.
For the answer to the first question, it was not compulsory,however we are to document the journey of our learning process, and through this we can choose to show it through our works done in the various subjects did in the past one year.
As for the answer to the second question which was answered by Wahida, she explained that it was alright for us to share with everyone our ideas so that we can all learn from each other and also monitor our progress as compared to the rest.
Thereafter,Wahida sowed us some videos which she thought may be useful to us too,however, I didnt really understand what it was trying to potray and where is the focal point.
Mr Ronald showed some examples of animated introductions and endings to a movie as well.
Overall, it was a long day at the lecture theatre today.
Allebest to everyone.(:

Day 2- Clarifying our doubts.
Hey, its day 2! yay! haha.
I'm having a bad headache, but it was still a nice day as we were clearer on the direction of the video we had to create.
Alfie re-briefed us today about our concepts and ideas of the video and explained that most of us has actually headed the
wrong direction in the focus points of our video.
He named 3 main points that we were to take into serious considerations.
They are:
1) What is the product?
2)What does the product do?
3) Who are we doing it for?
We have been focusing too much on number 1 and have neglected number 2, which is really important as it is the one that is able to stir emotions and leads to the passion of a the person choosing a course and it naturally links to our target audiences so it will really create an impact. Hmm,sounds a little confusing? haha, I always confuse myself too.
However after alfie's explanation it sent us all thinking deep and i was really enligtened by it. This will really aid us in not repeating the common mistakes often overlooked by us.
And thus, my group was able to come up with more interesting ideas that actually applied to the requirements that we didn't think of initially. I'm glad I got to learn something new again.
Thank you Alfie.(:
I hope to post some pictures of my classmates too, but i don't have the wire that connects my phone to the com. But I'm really glad now, shuxian offered me hers as she has a spare one, really so nice of her! hopefully this will make my boring blog more colourful haha.
Thank you shuxian, ure super nice!!!
Am contented with so many things now,everyone is very nice.haha,
allebest to everyone! (:

Day 1 MOIP1
Its day 1 of MOIP1.
We had a briefing in the lecture theatre and I only just realised this module actually lasts for two blocks. haha.
Till now I am still a little unclear about what we have to do, only that we are required to do a video of our learning jouney here in TP through the past year and it will be shown to 3 class of target audience, O'lvl leavers, parents and the MOI lecturers. We are to give a short introduction of on us and our works too. There will be 2 presentations to do. All in all, it sounds fun but a little difficult.(:
The most shocking thing is that we have to keep a blog throughout this module. Have never reallyhad the habbit of keeping a diary before,
so.. I hope this works. aha.
wow,Im relli bad at com suff, so difficult to make a simple blog!!!
thanks for helping me with setting up the blog, jingyuan n andreas. haha
Am happy in my new class with my friends and lecturer.
