PROJECT 4 - ROBOT VIDEO
INTRODUCTION
This is a group project that requires students to be in a group of four. Our task was to make a short robot video based on a random word given by our lecturers. The duration of video must not exceed 5 minutes. I teamed up with Kuek Sze Ting, Sim Tian Xin and Kimberly Polo Bastistiana. Our tutor was Ms Sufina Abu Bakar.
THE PROCESS
Firstly, we did research on the random word 'magnificent' which was given to us. There is different definitions behind this word and we get to know this word more thoroughly. We also understand the specialties and characteristics of the 4 robots in our group by making a mind map. The robot video must relate to the random word with the robot characteristics.
Initially, each of us had to propose 3 storyboards for our lecturers to choose for. As we still did not achieve the expectations of our lecturers, we were instructed to do the idea proposal and proposed it together as a team. My group member and I discussed and make a lot of plots and settings before we finally choose the three plans that we found most suits the theme and robots.
With guidance from our lecturers, finally our robot video named "Magnificent 4" was made. I am so grateful with the help and advice that we got from our lecturers. My role in this robot video is video editing, poster making and help in discussing the plot of our trailer video.

IDEA JOURNAL 4
This was the first time for me to d video editing. Before this, I did not exposed to this technology. It was quite challenging for me as we tried to change the background by using green screen and doing the audio effect. It was a fun experience after all.
I also learnt to communicate well with my group members as there were time which we had disagreements with others opinions. Luckily, with the tolerance from each other, we managed to done the shooting and video editing process on time.
In addition, I also understand that there are many approaches that we can use to achieve the same objectives or goals. Creative thinking skills is not just a straight-away thinking but we have to go through a zig-zag thinking method to get a more holistic approach which lead to a more creative outcome.
