During this MP, I learnt that looking at different angles to solve a problem is important. When one solution failed, there are other solutions to act as back up. When I was editing one of the videos, I initially planned to use this method called tracking. Unfortunately, there were complications and the method cannot be used. Therefore, I tried another alternative way to emphasize the specific part. In addition, i also learnt that communication is important (for both with the client and our team members). For our MP, filming was required. The filming process can be rather difficult and tiring sometimes. However, I felt that it is the most enjoyable period throughout the whole MP. It was interesting and fun with all the funny NGs and such.
In my opinion, I felt that to do a good MP, planning out the whole schedule and really following it is important. Also, when planning, always try to set the completion date earlier in case there are changes to be made at the last minute. Not forgetting, there is final report to complete within the dateline too!
Overall, I gained good experiences from working with the client. It allows me to have a clearer view of how working in the IT/media department will be like.

I had learned and gained a lot of experience from this Major Project.
I found out that it is not easy to follow a schedule exactly, there bound to be times where the project will be delayed.
Hence, planning ahead of the deadline is very important.
Although during the process some of us were lost and not sure what we were supposed to do next, we were able to get back on track and complete the application. It was a good experience to be able to have an actual client from external to feedback to us, it makes me feel that I am in the actual working environment.

By taking Major Project this semester, I had the opportunity to explore possibilities working with an industrial partner.
It is an eye opener and provides a real life experience in a working environment. As there were minimal assistance from
lecturers and students, the learning medium was through research and lots of reading from online resources and books.
While at it, we learn a lot of things and apply it to the project. One of the ways that we overcome the challenges and pressure
is to remain calm and positive. What I learn is that procrastination, lack of leadership and team work will effect the quality of work.
Make a wise decision when choosing group mates because it is important to have people working together and on the same page as well.
