When I’m in grade two of Junior High School (grade: 8). I had a lot of experiences. Now I want to share one part of my special experience, which I always remembered until now.
My experience began when Ms. Ika, our beloved Math’s teacher gave us a project for Christmas holiday. The Project is group project, each group has 3 members. The project is each group made video that contain minimum 3 Mathematics questions. Each person must act, and participated in the process. On January the video of each group will be shown at the other groups. The others group must answered correctly the question from each video that another groups made. The scores of answered the other groups questions and the video become test score. We must do our best to make the video, if our scores were bad in correct the other group’s question, but our score in video was good. The result isn’t bad too much.
The members of my group are Ivan, the smartest and Michael the funniestJ. First we discussed what we want to act, and Ivan got brilliant idea! His idea we developed together and gave new funny idea to make it become perfect. We made 3 videos, each video has one question. The three videos are seriates. I’m Cecilia as a detective, Michael as a silly assistant detective (my assistant), and Ivan as Lohan Fish class terrorist (actually Lohan fish class just a joke.. ahaha xD).
Totally we made the videos needs four times group works (4 days). Each meeting we spent 6 hours to made the video. We did 4 meetings because we must to repeat many and many times if our act, gestures, dialog wasn’t good and clear enough. We repeated many times because we changed the story or the setting. We repeated again if my sister’s voice, car horn, bell rings, and etc disturbing. We repeated again if the duration too long, we must repeat because the maximum duration of total video is 10 minutes, so we can’t talk or walked too slowly. Totally the duration 15 minutes, but I tried to increase and edit again..The result was 10 minutes 2 seconds xD. We made just the original video Totally 24 hours! Very tired but we enjoyed to made the video with laugh, cheerfulness and seriousness.
We did the video before holiday, because at holiday we went. At that time, we went to home in the morning because at school just “party” and holiday for the students didn’t get remedial. We used that time to make the video. So at holiday Mike just downloads the instrument, Ivan made the questions, and my homework just edited the videos, and gave instrument, and combined with the questions. The first day we started to act at Michael’s house. The first day we just record the introducing and after that we discuss about the settings, go to outside to finding good location. Actually my house and Mike in the same street. So we can move faster to my house when the setting at Mike’s house wasn’t match or we bored at Mike’s house. We used Mike’s house for the setting of introducing and the center detective’s office. And the other setting we used park, terrorist office, fitness room, in my house, streets, etc
The second day after school, Mike and Ivan went to my house together with me we did the first video, and half of the second video, we repeated many and many times because my little sister disturbing with her laugh, walking around, want to played with Ivan and Mike, etc. She always wants to follow us, and looked our acting. I think she really in love with our drama, act, and the funniest story that we made. xD
The third day with laugh and smile we acting to did the rest of second video and the third video, even though until night and it was rain, we kept act. After very tired I took Michael and Ivan to go home. The fourth day we replaced, fixed, and improved the video which has so many mistakes, our gesture looked silly, etc.
After edit, finished the questions, and finished all. We got 98 the best score, for video from all the others groups. For the test score (score of videos + score of answering correctly the other’s group question) Ivan was the higher, I’m the second, Davin the third. Mike almost got bad score because his score of answering the others groups question got bad score, but his video score helped him, his score up to 65! He got nice score. After all we feel happy, our hard worked is usefully.
I learnt to faced problems and difficulties in life with patience and effort because In the end there will be a good result :) and Don’t forget to be thankful to GOD!
