Reflection
This assignment helped us to understand the Eastern and Western civilisation in an interesting way. We summarised the story and make it into a storyboard so that it could be easier to understand. We also investigated and do research about each of the character in that story. We put in a lot of effort to ensure we produced a good video for this task.

required to do a literature research on places of interest of your site visit.
From the literature review, you are to study the theme given and its connection
between the historical, architectural and social aspects of the place.
Documenting the right building, spaces and places with the right content is

book will create awareness and educate your audience on the subject matter or
