PROGRESSION
WEEK 1
In the very first week after we got our assignment brief and groupmates, we had a short discussion about which video to watch, then we decided to watch the documentary ' Frozen World ' on youtube. After that, I watched it and jotted down the notes that I can get from the video.
WEEK 2
WEEK 3
We had our discussion about the segregation of the tasks. I have chose to do research about characteristics and importance of polar regions, while the rest of my teammates have chose their own too.
WEEK 4
During this week, we discussed about which roles we want to be as well as the script flow. Thus, my groupmates, Siah and Zhong Yang have started to write the script based on the criteria and the researches.
WEEK 5
In week 5, we started to film and edit the video. I have also collected some video clips of animals and also the polar region from online to add into our final video. During this week, we just trim the recording that fits the script meaning that we didn't add the subtitles and video clips we searched from online.​

OUTCOME
REFLECTION
Through this assignment, the TGCs I have acquired are:
DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE
During the study of nature, I was able to understand how important the nature means to us, and the cruel activity that happens to destroy our earth by our human. Besides that, I have also learned about the characteristics of both polar regions and the animals live there.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
I have acquired this skill as I have participated and contributed in every discussion in order to solve the problems we encountered or to proceed to another task. For me, speaking in English is tough. Thus, I did some preparations before the discussions to give response to teammates.
CITIZENSHIP AND GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES
Over the course of this assignment, I was able to listen to and accept the idea that was given by my team members. This skill is so important for us during the discussion as everyone's opinions are precious especially the idea for role playing, script writing and also the flow of video.
DIGITAL LITERACY
With the use and exploration of some video-editing apps like Filmora and JianYing, we were able to complete our nature dialogue effectively. Moreover, these user-friendly and free to download video-editing apps allow me to discover more in some transitions and chaotic effects.
