Cultural Performances in Kelantan

We have watched two documentaries about cultural performances in Kelantan in the class. First one is produced by UM students and the second one is produced by UTAR stduents. 

In the documentary which was done by UM students, they talked about Mak Yong. Before I watched the documentary, I had no idea at all that what is Mak Yong. After watching the documentary, I finally understand that Mak Yong is a traditional dance drama in Kelantan. The documentary provides sufficient information as they interviewed the performers of Mak Yong. Whole video is very informative and I like it.

In the documentary which was produced by UTAR students, they talked about several cultural performances in Kelantan such as Main Puteri, Mak Yong and Wayang Kulit. The whole video is very informative too. It is very well-edited as compared to UM students' documentary. However, the only thing which I find it quite hard to understand about the UTAR documentary is that it does not have any subtitles. Therefore I only focus on the visuals and try to understand instead.

Wayang Kulit



So for both videos I would say that they are very useful and informative especially to those who are interested in Malaysia arts and cultural performances. The question I want to ask the UTAR seniors is that what software and how did you guys edit the front part of the video (it was super cool!) ? And what are the challenges you have faced when filming this documentary?
