Kai Sien haven’t come out the template yet, but she is trying her best to do it as soon as possible. By the way, we were discussing about the design of our template while we are eating.
Enson did search some images via internet as references. He edited some of the photos that we needed to put into our application. He also brought his laptop to online search for the scripts and images.
Ming Jie has borrowed a book about character design from one of our friends. The book was really a good reference for our design. She had drawn some character on the paper while we are eating.
Pei Ying had drawn some buttons by using Adobe Photoshop software. She had also searched a lots of special fonts from the internet which will be using in our application. Pei Ying haven’t search for the classical music via internet but she will do it tonight. She had uploaded the report to our blog.

Final Proposal
(1) Title:
(2) Background
Klang is a fast developing city and also a historical place. War had taken place before during the British administration time when tin trade was growing fast. By the way, the three main races of citizens here play important roles in the development of Klang now. Cultures of each religion and race are strongly built along the days. There are plenty of interesting topics and aspects to be focused on such as the food, culture, architecture, lifeStyle of the people around etc. We believe Klang is the right place for us to explore.
(3) Ideation
What we have planned is to have a visit to Klang. We are going to spend 2 days there collecting information for our content.
The application has a loading page of a simple animation of an old fisherman fishing beside the lake. When the loading is done, the fisherman pulls up the rod. This is the starting of the animation we are going to create.
First scene - Futuristic feel
There is a piano, a clock, a classical player, and a book on the scene. The scene goes to the year 2017. The piano is playing by itself, the pages of the book is being flipped through by the wind and at the same time, the wooden clock's bell is ringing. It then focus into the clock and next into the moving gear wheel. After that, the turns back to the year 1997. In this scene, we can see the gramophone is playing, a hand typing machine, an old piano, old clock, old book and an old film negative (just as the scene in the movie "secret" by Jay Chou.)
Second scene
There is a table. On the table, the film strip roll all over it and it leads to the appearance of four frame with 4 pictures in it.
one of the picture ( Picture 1 )
From a book, pop up an animation contain the famous food in Klang- The “Bah Kut Teh”
Picture 2
a icture of a bowl of fish.
a fish jump out from the bowl and "wimple" swirl out. The picture then blur out and get back focus into Port Klang.
Picture 3
An old television, very blur and old, the scene fade out into the scene of one family eating snacks.
Picture 4
A bicycle hanging upside down. The wheel of the bicycle is turning slowly (focus on the wheel). The bicycle wheel as a foreground frame and the main focus is on the background which is the old streets at Pandamaran. On the streets, we can see people doing ritual work and it is all about their lifestyle.
We are going to shoot with our cameras and walk around the streets of Klang. The photos are needed to do an image slideshow. On the slideshow layout, only pictures which the mouse scroll over are zoomed in for clearer view. There are captions pop up when u move the mouse over on the picture. The pictures will explode into pieces with sound effect when u finish viewing it.
About the food, we'll try on the food and interview the owner of the business to get some relevant information. All these will be played in our application. Also, we provide the map or the address of the location of shops for user information.
The layout is going to be very funky and chicky with bright attractive and retro colours to make the impression that Klang is fun and to convey the message 'Welcome to visit!'.
(4) Target Audience
Family – parents and children
(5) Scope
To let my target audience to be aware of the ‘MUST KNOW’ in Klang such as the Port Klang, famous food ‘Bah Kut Teh’, the snacks and as well the heritage architecture.
(6) Objectives
We choose ‘FAMILY’ as our target audience. The main reason is to bring out the feel of togetherness. These places we introduced can be hang out with our family members and this application can be used among parents and children in order to enhance the relationship between parents and children.
(7) Approach and Treatment
The application is going to be slightly classical but funky. It is going to be very relaxing as it suits our target audience area of interest. The theme color of the application is to be very retro which is colors like orange, brown, purple, black n white, sephia etc. We are going down Klang to shoot as many as we can. The buildings, the food, the people, the Indians, the Malays, the Chinese retro culture, etc.

3rd discussion
Venue : MMU HB3 food court
Time : 02:30pm - 04:15pm
We were eating while discussing what we should do next.
firstly, we divide our job scope again, which is :
Story board - Kai Sien
Flow Chart - Enson
Final Report ( to Klang) - Pei Ying
Final Proposal - Ming Jie
Then we talked about the GUI and the storyboard.
How to do it? We were slightly confused among the story board and the GUI. we asked the lecturers and among ourselves we came out with some sketches drawing of how the layout should be. Roughly, we knew what we are supposed to do then.
We almost forgotten about the 'Game' slot.
for each topic, we discussed what kind of games to do.
Ideas given by all group members were collected. In the whole, we are going to make up easy games and by the way it also contains educational benefit. E.g. One of the games is : User is to choose the correct ingredient for 'bah kut teh'. From this process, it's not only playing with interactivity also the users themselves get to learn about the ingredient needed for cooking 'bah kut teh'.
nevertheless, we also conclude the game type for the other topics as well as the page layout for the particular game; game type - monopoly style, fill in the blanks, choosing correct answer, etc.
We decided not to change our target audience which is FAMILY. the main objective is to implant greater relationship between parents and children.
That is all for the day. the discussion ended at 0415pm.
Thankyou.

The layout is going to be very funky and chicky with bright attractive colours to make the impression that Klang is fun and to convey the message 'Welcome to visit!'.
1st discussion
In the meanwhile, we made ourselves a new gmail account and signed up a blogspot account.
We have decided earlier that we are going to do about Malacca. It's because of the transport and accomodation problem, for our own convenience, we chose Klang instead.
Quickly, we decided on the main aspects to focus on and distribute among ourselves the area of responsibility for every member. We could not continue discussing about it as it was time to class.
Our first discussion ended around 3.45pm.
