Time Management for Final Project

For the final project, we had to finish all of the things required for the project within the 12-hour limitation.

In one day, we managed to gather all of our members to discuss on the multimedia presentation project we had to do. After much brainstorming, we came up with ideas for a short movie.

To save time, we used Windows Movie Maker instead of After Effects to create the movie.

In total, we spent 5 hours on video editing, 3 hours on preparing the material, 1 hour taking picture for the video and 3 hours on group commenting and video upgrading before we are satisfied with the results.

Simplified, detailed essay on topic; fcm student is the faculty of gold digger; money maker.

        Many people said that money can’t buy happiness. It’s true. But for FCM’s students, money is everything to pursue their studies. Why? It’s because they need a lot of money to buy their high quality materials and pay the courses which cost them more then RM 10,000. It’s hard to believe, but this is the life that FCM’s students faced. Sure enough if their parents are so wealthy, the chances of their survival in MMU are high. However, for those who come from just a so-so family, they had to sacrifice everything. Everyday they’ll feel worry for tomorrow, the future. Not everyone can grasp any scholarships they desire. They had to work hard and some of them choose to work part-time jobs just to support themselves until the day where they graduate and have a proper job.

For a start, foundation is a must before you can enroll in degree. Only then you can pursue your goal whether you want to be in Animation industry, Media Innovation, Virtual Reality, Interface Design or Media Arts. What’s interesting behind every story of an amateur artist is the process of rejection of their works. And of course along the way, there’ll be harsh comments and criticisms. Hence, for every artwork they spent more than RM10 and if they had to redo it again, the numbers of money will also increasing. To solve this problem, some students had to take extreme decision by cutting the food cost or keep on ‘diet’. You’ll see how Maggie and breads become so popular among them. Somehow, it seems pathetic but that’s the only way to keep survive.

To success, you had to suffer first before you can taste the fruit of joy itself.  It’s true that FCM is money consuming, but once you graduate and shape your skills beautifully, there will always someone that will hire you to work with them. And the pay also doubled the fun. You’ll get more than 3 digits of zero if you created a logo. But if you become a professional artist, the numbers are beyond your expectations and then you’ll know that all your hard work and suffers have given you the life that you always dream of.

This are the upgraded associated and also logical mind map that we have been asked to improved by our lecturers by adding more random words and also information so that we can have more ideas for our final project.

Associated mind map

Logical Mind Map

The picture below is another method that we used to created ideas. This method is called Random Association. A random subject will be used to create ideas by using the characteristics of the subject that we are using.

Other than that, our group also used the method Metaphor and also simile to create more ideas by relating Faculty of Creative Multimedia with Cup and Saucer.

Group Progress ( Week 12 )

 Faculty of Creative Multimedia

This mind map is our group research about creative multimedia courses. From the history until the main point of our research, those faculty provide a support for student creativity and innovation but at the same time cost a lot of money. Even in foundation study, the student need to use a lot of money for their assignment and others important stuff. Well this is also have an advantage that is to improve students ability to form something creative until their career time.

Poem
The continuation of fcm is like a cup,
Firstly we invest money into MMU's FCM Cup,
After that we will be having our own cup, to be filled by others money.

 Creativity Unlimited
To enter FCM a student need a money to buy their stuff to study and to buy assignment items.

Money will fly fly and fly, so the student have to work hard to show their best art work. Every hard and creative work will be worth with the money they used.
