Introduction

We were formed a group of 4 at the beginning of the semester for

Social Psychology by our lecturer for the final assignment which is

to create a video clip by incorporating the concept of psychology

that we had learned in class. We were required to prepare a report

of the video clip and present the clip to the class. The objective of

this assignment is to enable student to understand the concepts of

each psychological terms and meanings. In other words, students

would also be able to apply the related concepts in daily life. By

including the concepts with daily life, student would be able to

have a better understanding of the concepts and enhanced the

knowledge of social psychology. This would improve someone’s

thinking skills in terms of communication by one after another and

will reduce the misunderstanding from occurring.

Storyline

It was Edson’s first day in University life, as he gets separated

from his friends during high school. After that he felt that he is

lonely, as he does not have any friends in university, so he

decided to make friends with his classmate by trying to talk and be

friends with them so that he will get support from them. After class,

he met 2 new friends both with different personality outside

classroom. He then decided to talk to the 2 people, which is same

class as him. He met the first person of his classmate, which is

named as Fred, he is a friendly and like talking to people as he

meet anyone as well as he meet Edson because he think that

Edson is a friendly guy and he decided to friend with him. Then, he

met the second person, which is known as William, who is a non-

friendly and anti-social person. He ignores and looked down at

Edson because he was from other countries and he did not intend

to talk to him. Since then, Edson was surprised to met people with

different characteristics as he realized that every person in this

world have different kinds of personality. Besides that he realized

that Fred is a kind hearted and friendly person but William is a

more anti-social and unfriendly person. After that, Edson become

braver after he meet Fred as they managed to be friends. These

give him more confident to talk to his other classmates. Even

though after he talk to William and was ignored but then he did not

give up of finding friends, as he believe that he could find a best

Examples:

3) Attitude

Conclusion

After we had done this project, all of us have a better understanding of the

social psychology concepts and how to apply in our daily life. In other words,

this is the advantage and benefits from what we can learn from this

assignment. Then, we had also learned how to do the video clip and the

arrangement of how to shoot and act in the video. As all of us did not have

experience on acting and creating any of the video clips. This assignment

encourages us to improve our ability and we were also able to communicate

with each of our group members well. In conclusion, this assignment gives us

a well experience and we were also able to overcome all our difficulties in

shooting this video clips.
