REFLECTIVE REPORT

At the beginning while accepting the assignment I was very surprised and worried
because I felt that the assignment was not easy for me to complete. Then I tried to contact
my colleague where I found out he was an expert in the field of making this recording. I
asked for the opinions and views of my friends on how to complete the assignment. After
getting my views, I start by planning on how and what to do first to complete my task. At
first, I conducted some studies on the problems faced in the current learning system. I
have seen the shortcomings and advantages of the current learning system and I am
intrigued by the topics that discuss the issues of the learning system in the old era.

Then I look for some materials that can help me in understanding the title of my
speech. I am looking for materials in the online medium, including using the online
library services provided by Open University Malaysia.

  After doing research on the topic of my speech, I feel it is easier to complete the
assignment given. I also feel excited to complete this assignment. It took me a week to
complete the study. After a week I tried to draft the text of my speech and plan how my
video recording will be carried out. I also did research on how to do a speech in a good
way because honestly, I have never been through the experience of giving a speech to the
public.

After I did some research on speech and how to deliver it, I started drafting on
how I wanted to implement my speech with my presentation. The various ways I have

been thinking of doing exercises in front of a mirror and talking as if I were giving a
speech. Then I practiced in front of my friends because I wanted their opinion to improve
the way I delivered the speeches I made.

After doing the task given, I can feel that producing creative content is not
something easy and it takes a long time. Various inputs that need to be emphasized to
produce a content of creativity in the form of speech so that the speech and video
delivered can influence the listener. Personally, I take a very long time in completing this
assignment because I am not a person with high creativity. But I really enjoyed the
process of performing this task.  

To complete this task, I took these five weeks because it is a new thing for me,
and it takes a very long time. During that period I have tried many applications that can
help me but all of them did not give me what I wanted until I remembered one of my
friends who worked as a video creator in media prima. I asked for help from my friend to
give an opinion on the appropriate application for me to complete my recording. I am
very excited because with the suggestion from my friends, I have managed to find an
application that helps me.

After completing the video recording of my speech, I presented it to some of my

family members and friends. At first, I felt embarrassed and unsure to present my speech
recording, but I felt that if I did not show the recording, I could not make improvements
in my speech video. 

Then I gave a video recording of my speech to my friend. The first reaction my

friend gave was that he was impressed because I was able to make something out of my
comfort before. The reaction given by my friend when he saw the video of my speech
was that he felt I was able to produce a video that can have an impact on people. I just
need a lot of training.

For me, the process of preparing a video recording of my speech was a process
that really affected me. It was a very useful experience for me to take advantage of in my
life for me to communicate in completing this task. At first, I felt the task given was very
difficult for me to complete, then I looked at the words “a goal without a plan is just a
whish”. After seeing those words, I said to myself if I do not do it now, I will not get a
new experience in my life then I start my task by planning what to do first.

By learning this course, I can use the input learned by applying it into my work
environment where it is very helpful for me in doing my daily tasks in the job. By
understanding the concepts in creativity and innovation it makes me think more openly
about the concept of producing a video and how to communicate with someone.
Furthermore, this course also gives me a lot of impact on the importance that needs to be
emphasized in the field of good communication to get input.
