My proposal has finally been accepted!!!
YAYYYY! Both the Dhivehi proposal and also the AEDES one was given a green light. Actually, all of us who resubmitted the proposals last week had received the reply from Ms.Megan last Thursday. However, one of my friends told me on Saturday that he received his reply and since I still hadn’t I mailed my lecturer and she told me that she sent mind too the previous Thursday. Hmm. But I hadn’t received it!
Anyways, that was good news to start the week with. We have to show drafts of the proposal in class this week so that she could guide us if we need any help.
I think I should be able to catch up with the rest of the class afterall.
Relieveeedddddddd !! wooo!

04th WEEK!
This fourth week has been really stressful. Firstly, I still haven’t received a feedback from VU but I’m hoping the reply would come soon. The rest of the class haven’t proceeded far with the project and the proposal so I should be able to catch up hopefully.
This week we had two classes cancelled for this subject and so we were all a bit confused as to what was happening. The second class was cancelled suddenly! I took this time to work on the workshops for the 3rd week and the 4th week. I wasn’t able to do the 3rd week workshop because there was some confusion about it and it was just cleared out in the 4th week.
About the first assignment, which is to create a DVD, we were trying to get the software and get familiar with it. The software that I chose to work with is Adobe Encore. Most of my classmates are working with this software and since I have never used it before, I need to play around with it before actually getting started on the assignment itself.
We were told to use the video that we created for the video production class. Since we did that assignment in a pair, I asked the lecturer whether it would be ok if two people did the DVD using the same video and she said that if we wanted other videos, that Luke had provided us some links. Our lecturer assigned the videos to us and the video I got was just 1 minute long!!! So I don’t think I want to create my DVD with that video since it would be very short. Finally, I’ve decided to stick with my own video production file although the DVD features would be different from my partners.
Hoping to get a reply from VU sooooooooon… It’s taking so long!

thirrrrrrrrrd week!
This week was a bit upsetting for me because we got our replies from VU regarding out final year project and mine was still not a green light! :( There were a lot of questions that I had to answer. I guess it’s because I’m doing it about my language and my proposal wasn't clear to others. I got advice from both lecturers related to this subject and both of them said to make my proposal clearer and point out the main elements that would be in the final project.
We got the replies on Wednesday and I resubmitted that proposal along with a back up proposal today (Friday). The back up idea that I submitted was Aedes Awareness. It would be a proposed system for a KIOSK that would be placed at hospitals. It would create awareness about two of the main diseases that are spread by the aedes mosquito - dengue and chikungunya.
I hope to get a reply from VU early next week because I don’t want to be left behind too much while the rest of the class is progressing with the project. I am determined to catch up this one week that I have lost and hopefully everything would settle in well.
We also did the week three readings and I mailed it to our lecturer. We had to read about the www.scriptwritingsecrets.com and answer some of the questions that were given to us. It was interesting to read through it and learn more about film related terms etc! :)
That’s it for now, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a more positive week next week! :)

the confused 2nd week~
for the second week again we didn’t have much to do either .. I'm working on the tutorials for this week currently and I think everyone in class is pretty much confused at this point. we resubmitted out proposals for the final year project last Thursday (2nd April) and waiting for a reply. hoping the reply would come soon so that we can start on the project.
right now most of us are quite tensed because the proposed titles haven't been confirmed for all of us except just one person in our class!! :)
*stressedddd*
I was confused as to whether we should be writing blogs for both the subjects, DVD and also writing for web.. but finally managed to clear it out and the blog is only for this subject. what makes everything so confusing is that we have the same lecturer for both these subjects andddd to add onto the confusion our final year project is split into two subjects too! (there again two diff lecturers). I’m sure I would get used to all this soon! :)
hoping to get a reply by early next week so that we could start working on the project soooonnn...
