The above is the link to a video (too big to embed) about what ultraviolet radiation is, with its wavelength, how it's discovered, what technologies it is used in, what are the pros and cons of the technology. There was a calculation mistake with the speed of Ultraviolet Radiation though.

In this project, and Phillip was my partner. I made a lot of decisions, and we both agreed on making a video instead of a poster of slides which we can do. I knew it would be challenging since I have never tried to make a narrative video before with markers and a whiteboard (based on ASAP Science on Youtube). However, I thought it is a good skill to learn since I might use it in my other presentations in the future. I also wanted to do something that is new and make the presentation interesting. And of course, I thought it would be fun. Thus, I took the risk.

I ended up using a lot more than 6 hours in total to complete this. We researched our sources, and then I came up with the main things to present. After that, I prepared a whiteboard with different coloured markers (and tissues), with my phone as my camera. I tried to use time-lapse, but it was too fast, so I had to record it again and again, and import it to iMovie to edit - changing speeds and adding transitions. Next, I came up with a script which Phillip used for this video.

It was a lot of hours. However, I think I practised and tried this presentation technique and I am definitely going to be way better in it than others the next time. Next time, I might try to separate the work equally so I can take some rest. I also learnt that sometimes things don't have to be perfect, and we should do our best but not start destroying our bodies.
