| Summary: | Digital storytelling uses digital tools to take storytelling to a whole new level. It is an
emerging area of creative work, thus its definition is still being debated. Digital
storytelling has already been applied by many to tell short stories about basically any
topic of their desire. The performing arts are those forms of art which uses the artist's
own body, face and presence as a medium, as opposed to plastic arts that uses
materials to create a tangible art object. According to survey conducted, there exists a
lack of interest and understanding in Malaysian cultural performing arts, thus there is
a need to promote interest in this art so that it will still be around in the future. Thus
this project intends to develop a digital story on Malaysian cultural performing arts.
Digital storytelling is utilized in the MCGS, and would be used by the general public,
and specifically those with a special interest in this form of art, in order for them to
gain more knowledge and generate more interest in the said topic. The system covers
music and dance performances captured in UTP. The system is developed using the
digital storytelling taxonomy as a guide, to create an interactive storyline. Through
research, development, and evaluation, it is found that the level of awareness on
Malaysian cultural performing arts is still relatively low, and that the MCGS has been
able to raise awareness and interest level amongst the users. |
