>>> Moments of Love <<<

"Moments of Love".... That is the title of our video. This video is done by Mark and I. Firstly, we had done the story board to make sure the plot of our video run smoothly. Then, we find suitable resources to be used such as pictures and song. Then, we started to work on this video individually as we are on our holiday.

The making of this video is quite tough as there are no internet connection at my home. It was very terrible. I just think if I could back to my rent house, it is easier for me to work. but I can't. No ticket and I also need to look after my father who is sick. He cannot walk at that time so it is possible for me to leave my family. That is one of the part as we can call moments of love too right? Ok, back to the video making process. So, I need to go to cybercafe to do the work. I am very lucky to have Mark as my partner because he is really understand my situasion and do lots of works for our asignment. He done the video as we already have the pictures. Then, while making the video, we will message to each other to ensure the video is in god progress.

The most stressful time is when to upload the video at www.youtube.com. Actually Mark do this but I really pity him because he said that he tried almost two days but the video still can't be uploaded. Then after tried, tried and tried, he manged to upload it. What a hardest time in our life.. I also heard that most of my friends also having the same problem. But then, they also sucessfully upload it.

This is what we call teachnology. It gives benefit for us but sometime it will trouble us. Sometime we cannot control the system and what can we do... Just try and try and try again.

Lets talk about "Moments of Love". Basically, this video is about the moments of love with our family, friends, colleague, lovers and husband and wife. There are many happy moments in our life. However, there are also sad events happened to us. So, our family or the people which are close to us will comfort us. That is why "Moments of Love" is created in order to make us think remember all the bittersweets in our lives.

> Video Editing <

In my opinion, this is the toughest task that we need to do. This task required all of us to work in group of 5 with difference races. We need to edit the video from the 8tv programme which is "So You Think You Can Dance". It is really takes time to download all the episode that we got. we need to extract all the video and do it according to the task requirement. It is really test our patience but luckily we managed to do it. However, the problems occured when we are not successful to upload our hard work in Adec. We have tried so many times for the whole night but we could not managed to upload it. I'm very upset with technlogy. Sometimes, it can ruin our work and efforts.

We felt very frustrated with that because our work can't be uploaded and sent to Mdm. We hope that Mdm will accept that in CD but it is just a hope. We have done our work but the problems is it can't be uploaded. Maybe the system is slow but I think this is not our fault but the system's fault. Do you think so? We all realized that technology will make our work became easier but when the system got problems, it will ruin our work too. That is what I thought about it but i don't know whether it is true or not.

We have done our work and now it is depends on the lecture to comment about it.

Audio Editing

A song also can be edited until it became just like what we wish. Do you believed that? Of course we need to believe because in this new modern era there are many softwares that can be used to edit the song. One example is Audacity software. We can edit the song by cutting some of the noise, make the sound quality better and this will make the the song more appropriate to be used in activities in the classroom.

For this task, I have used a song entitle I Fell In Love With The Deejay by Chenelle to be edited using the software that I mentioned above. I just do some simple editing such as change the tempo, the picth and also some other elements in the song. Those changes are the basic things that we can edit for the song. There are many things that you can do. What you need to do is take some times to explore the softwares. As a result, you had managed to produced good edited song.

This skill is also useful as we all know that children loves to listen to the music. They will acquired the knowledge better if the teacher bring something new to the classroom as a tool of learning because children have capacity to learn indirectly. So, why not, as a teacher we can apply this knowledge and make the learning process enjoyable but meaningful. We can choose a suitable song to be used as teaching aids and audio editing skill will really helpful perhaps.

Photo Editing

Pictures are one of the source of resources to be used in class during the teaching and learning process. "A picture worth a thousand words". That is why we, as a teacher, need to use big, colourful and interesting pictures in order to attract students' attention in the classroom. And the topic for this week is really useful for a teacher to be acquired in order to produce suitable pictures as learning material. We can edit the pictures, crop them, make it colourful and so many things can be done.

Adobe Photoshop, FotoFx, Picasa tutorials- All these are software for photo editing and there are many other than that. I've heard about adobe photoshop but I did not bother about the usage and the importance of it. But for this task, I used this software to edit my picture. Wau, it is not easy as I think. It needs patience and concentration in completing my task. However, I managed to complete my work but it is not quite creative and beautiful but I appreciate my own work. Hehe.. This is the first time I edit my picture...

Photo editing.. Now I realized that this skill is very useful to me in order to prepare a good and suitable pictures to be used in the classroom especially for young children who need big and colourful pictures. Young learners are concrete learners. That is why they need a good picture in order to comprehend their understanding in the teaching and learning process. So, as a teacher,we should make used of all these kind of softwares to edit the pictures to be the most suitable as a good teaching aids. This skill is really help me in order to edit my own pictures. In addition, hopefully I can apply this skill in producing and developing teachng aids for my own classroom in future.

Thanks Mdm Foziah and all of my friends that helping me in using Adobe Photoshop.

Hope to learn more after this :)
