Tiring Day Man

It was time to present on what we had done over the past few days. My heart missed a beat upon reaching THE DAY. We were first to present as Yi Chuin had to leave for Malaysia for Chinese New Year. Basically we were told that the presentation would be graded for the organisation and planning.
- how organised in terms of dividing our work
-systematic
-going through process, research and mindmap
-What we have found out so far?
-How clear is our presentation?
-Does she understand well?
-How do we make it as clear as possible?

Design
-content wise
-how arranged and collated the information is?
-making it as interesting and enjoyable as possible
-hope to convey the feelings to our target audience
-is there a theme? How have you followed it through?

Lecturer Wahidah also told us this is the time to show off what our strengths are and to put it all in this production. After being told of what things to be included in the power point slides, we were then given time to discuss on what we should do for the presentation. The worst thing was one of my group member wasn't here. In fact, he was late for two hours.

We basically felt that we should redo our storyboard as it was kind of small. So Yi Chuin and Ting Yu did another storyboard but this time it was pretty large and precise as well. While both of them were drawing, Aaron went to edit the trial of the introduction in the 3d animation room. I was also there to assist him. After doing both the video editing and storyboard, we quickly rushed to Aaron's house and proceed in thinking what to include in the power point slides. I wasn't too sure myself how the sequence should be placed. However, we tried our best and managed to even do more than 20 slides.

Here was what we did, below are just the outline of what we did:

—Puppet will enter YC’s work and pull down credits.
Storyboard
Timeline
Audio
—For introduction, we used a song that starts off giving an eerie feeling then becoming more lively upon introducing members
—For conclusion, we will use a song that is soothing to the ears but ending it off with a bang.
Problems faced
—Very tough to really meet up and discuss with all four members
—We also had different taste of music
—We also had different opinions
—Too many ideas, couldn’t really decide on one
—Too tough to execute
How we solved the problems
We went school early to discuss / even stay up late in school
Each members’ choice of music was contributed in the production
All vote on which idea was best or rather could be executed
If majority finds that an idea is too tough too execute, we just forgo that idea or maybe making it simpler

My group members, Yi Chuin was coughing badly and Ting Yu fell sick. I was really worried whether they could present tomorrow. It was already past twelve when we left Aaron's place. I was indeed very tired, i helped out in doing the power point slides till 3am which made me more drained out. Haha to be edited soon. As more information will be added on.

Please wish me luck for our presentation.

God bless.
